Dear flower friends, do you often envy the leafy and vibrant pothos in the flower shop? Today, let's unveil the mystery of pothos bursting pots, learn how to raise pothos to be green, and become a beautiful landscape in the home!
First of all, we need to understand the growth habits of pothos. Pothos prefers a warm, moist and diffused light environment, does not tolerate cold and drought, and is resistant to shade and humidity, but avoid strong light exposure. Therefore, when maintaining pothos, we should pay attention to providing a suitable growth environment for it.
So, how to raise pothos in pots? The key lies in the following:
1. Prepare suitable potting soil.
Pothos can be hydroponic or soil-grown, and the choice of potting soil is very important when soil-growing. We can use garden soil, humus soil, and sand in a ratio of 5:3:2 to prepare, so that the soil is not only loose and breathable, but also rich in organic matter, which is conducive to the growth of pothos roots.
2. Reasonable watering.
Pothos prefers a moist environment, but it should not be overwatered. In spring, the water supply should be sufficient, and the potting soil should be kept moist frequently. Water should be watered once a day in summer and autumn, and water should be sprayed frequently on the foliage and the ground around the plants to increase air humidity. In winter, the potting soil should be kept moist and dry to avoid root rot caused by stagnant water.
3. Scientific fertilization.
Pothos needs adequate nutrients to grow. The fertilizer is mainly nitrogen fertilizer, and thin liquid fertilizer is applied 2 to 3 times a month during the growing season. After the plant is formed, apply a well-rotted thin liquid fertilizer once a month. In autumn and winter, fertilizer should be stopped to avoid fertilizer damage.
Fourth, breeding skills.
If you want pothos to burst pots, reproduction is the key. Families mostly use cuttings to propagate pothos, which is generally carried out in May and June. Cut the sturdy young stems from the plant, cut them into 10 cm long cuttings containing 2 3 buds, cut off the lower 1 section of the leaves, and cut them directly into the potting soil. After cutting, water enough, put it in a cool place, maintain a temperature of 25, and it will take about 20 days to take root and sprout.
In addition, if you want pothos to grow well, you also need to pay attention to the following points:
Avoid strong light exposure to avoid sunburn of leaves; Regularly prune excessively long and dense branches to maintain the beauty of the plant; Pay attention to ventilation to avoid the occurrence of pests and diseases. Now, have you mastered the secret of pothos bursting? Let's get started! Add a touch of vibrant green to your home and make life better!
