As a typical foliage plant, pothos has a particularly prominent demand for nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Nitrogen can promote the growth of pothos leaves and the synthesis of chlorophyll, so that it can maintain a strong green color. Phosphorus contributes to root development and flower bud differentiation; Potassium enhances pothos' resistance to pests and diseases and its adaptability to the environment. In addition, trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, iron, etc. are also important, and together they form the basis for the healthy growth of pothos.
Basic nutrient solution formulation
Compound fertilizer: The compound fertilizer contains nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium required for plant growth, which can be diluted according to the ratio of 1g fertilizer to 1L of water to obtain the basic nutrient solution.
Organic nutrient solution formula
1.Soymilk dregs: rich in nitrogen, mix soymilk dregs with water in a ratio of 1:10 after draining, seal and ferment for 1-2 months, and then dilute them at a ratio of 1:10 when using, which can effectively supplement nitrogen.
2.Eggshell powder: rich in calcium, the eggshell is washed and dried, ground into powder and then brewed with water, and the residue is filtered out before use.

2.Eggshell powder solution: Add eggshell powder to hot water and soak it, filter it and take a clear solution, which is also diluted at a ratio of 1:10.
3.Fish bone scale liquid: Filter the boiled and cooled fish bone scale water before use, and also need to be diluted before use.
Before using any nutrient solution, please make sure to pour an appropriate amount of water before pouring the nutrient solution, which will not only ensure the uniform distribution of the nutrient solution, but also avoid the damage caused by excessive concentration to the pothos.
