Lighting: it is most suitable for natural astigmatism environment. Pay attention to keep ventilation frequently. Watering: the pothos prefers to be wet. It should be watered twice a week. Do not accumulate water. Spray water on the leaves to keep them green and full. Fertilization: mainly nitrogen fertilizer, once every 15-20 days to irrigate the rotten rice washing water, instead of daily watering.

How to shine?

Pothos is not very high to the light request, generally puts in the natural astigmatism environment most suitable, generally puts in the living room, the kitchen, the toilet quite bright place to be possible, must pay attention to often maintains the ventilation.

How to water?

Compared with other plants, the pothos is wet. Water about twice a week. But this is only a reference, you can determine the frequency of watering according to the specific situation of the plant, and the amount of watering each time, remember not to accumulate water. At ordinary times, you can spray water on the leaves to keep them green and full.

How to apply fertilizer?

As a foliage plant, Chloranthus is usually fertilized with nitrogen fertilizer. It can be watered once every 15-20 days to replace the daily watering. We usually do not pour rice water, collected in bottles, sun exposure for more than half a month can be used

What about yellow leaves?

Although the pothos is evergreen all the year round, it is inevitable that yellow leaves will appear in the maintenance, so what should we do?

Water shortage yellow leaves:

Leaves turn yellow and dry from the edge. This situation is caused by lack of water. We need to reduce yellow leaves, and water them, and wait for them to slow down.

Over watering yellow leaves:

The leaves are dark yellow and lusterless. The green leaves are also slightly wilted without spirit.

At this time, we need to stop watering, move the pothos to a ventilated environment, loosen the soil immediately, speed up the evaporation of water in the soil, and water again about 1 week later.

Exposed yellow leaves:

There will be burn marks on the leaves, which will become dry and scorched.

In this case, we should immediately move the pothos to a cool place and spray water on the leaves in about 20 minutes.

Lack of light yellow leaves:

The new leaves are yellow, the old ones are green, but lack luster.

At this time, we just need to move it to a ventilated and bright environment.

Lack of fertilizer yellow leaves:

The leaves become thinner and thinner, and gradually yellow from the root

Encounter this kind of situation, should fertilize to pothos, can use the rice water that saps.

Fat yellow leaves:

The leaves are thick but dull. They feel rough and slippery, and there are dense pale yellow spots on them.

If the situation is not serious, we can loosen the soil, pour more water and dilute the fertilizer, and strengthen the ventilation. If this situation occurs in a large area, it is necessary to change the basin and soil, and ensure that no fertilizer will be applied within 1-2 months.

What about rotten root?

The rotten roots of the pothos usually show yellow leaves, wilting and lodging in a large range. At this time, we will do a "major operation" on it.

Remove the root soil and wash it.

Cut off the rotten root system, old root system, weak root system and over dense root system.

And cut off the yellow leaves and severely wilted leaves.

④ disinfect the roots of the pothos with carbendazim solution for about 30 minutes.

⑥ then transplant the pothos into the new basin soil, which can be mixed with 4:1 rotten leaf soil and perlite. Be careful not to water immediately, wait for 2-3 days before pouring. After it is restored to life, it can be maintained normally.

Another basin?

If you want to make a pot of pothos more than one pot, you can buy it only by cutting. It's easy to survive. Try it!

Cut strong and healthy branches from the mother plant of the pothos, preferably with leaves, about 8-10cm.

2. The cut of the cut branch shall be treated as a 45 degree inclined surface and applied with rooting powder.

③ prepare a bottle, hold 2 /3 of the water, and insert the pothos into the water.

④ in about 15-20 days, a new root system will grow in the pothos, and then it can be transplanted into a pot.

After a while, a new bowl of pothos will be formed.

Green pineapple has a strong vitality.

But we should take care of it.

In case of any problem, timely treatment shall be carried out.

Otherwise, no matter how strong the vitality is, it will not be built.
