What to do if the leaves of the potted pothos are yellow

How to raise pothos? Compared with many flowers, pothos is a relatively good plant, but there are some things to note when maintaining pothos:

1. Light: Pothos is a negative plant, avoid direct sunlight, like scattered light, and is more shade-tolerant. Indoor cultivation can be placed next to a window, but avoid direct sunlight.

In the northern autumn and winter, the pothos should be placed in a well-lit place indoors, or moved to a sealed balcony at noon to bask in the sun, so that the pothos can grow well.

2. Moisture: Pothos likes a moist environment. At the peak of the growth of pothos in midsummer, the potting soil should be moist, and when the potting soil turns white, it can be watered thoroughly.

At the same time, the foliar surface of the pothos can be sprayed several times a day to clean the dust of the leaves, which is conducive to the breathing of the pothos and makes the leaves grow more green and verdant. In winter, the room temperature is low, and the pothos is in a dormant state, so it should be watered less and the potting soil should not be dry.

3. Temperature: The most suitable growth temperature for pothos is 20-28. In winter, as long as the indoor temperature is not lower than 10, pothos can safely overwinter, if the temperature is lower than 5, it is easy to cause defoliation and affect growth.

It is important to note that the temperature difference is too large, and at the same time, care should be taken that the leaves do not go near the heating equipment.

In winter, it is important to note that when the windows are opened, the pothos should be removed from the windows, because in a very short period of time, the leaves may be frostbitten.

4. Soil: For pothos, loose, organic-rich slightly acidic and neutral sandy loam soils are best. It can be mixed with 70% humus, 20% red loam, 10% rape cake and bone meal. Repot every three years.

5. Fertilizer: nitrogen fertilizer is the main fertilizer, supplemented by potassium fertilizer. Before the arrival of the growth period of pothos in spring, apply ammonia sulfate or urea solution every 10 days or so, and use urea solution as foliar fertilization once, which can not only meet the growth needs of pothos, but also keep the green and bright leaves.

Fertilization should be stopped or a small amount of foliar spray should be applied in winter.

Pothos grows very fast and pothos stakes are usually added when planting.

In addition, pothos can also be raised in water. When the leaves are yellow, they can be reduced.

The yellowing of the leaves of hydroponic pothos may be caused by poor water quality, reduced ventilation capacity, lack of light to moisturize, and low growth temperature. Farmers can replace clean water quality as soon as possible, adjust ventilation capacity, replenish light in time, and increase temperature appropriately.

1. Improper watering: too much or too little watering will cause the yellow water of pothos, if the leaf surface is dark yellow and dull, the new shoots are not long, it may be too much watering, and if the leaf tips or edges are withered and dry, the new leaves grow normally.

2. Sunlight: Pothos likes shade, and strong light exposure will cause the leaf tips and leaf edges of flowers to wither, and the sunny part of the leaves will appear yellow spots.

3. Fat yellow: too much fertilization of pothos breeding, too much concentration, or no lack of fertilizer may cause the green gong leaves to turn yellow, when the fertilization is too much, the green gong leaf surface is thick and dull, and the leaf surface is not stretched, the old leaves are yellow and fall off, and the fertilizer can be reduced by washing.

Was it in the water when you bought it or did you make it yourself?

When you buy it, it may be in the water.

Lack of nutrients in the water, add a little.

Try the nutrient solution.

I made it myself, that is, the terrestrial roots did not adapt to the underwater environment and did not grow aquatic roots.

Pothos is a very common bonsai, and many places use it as an ornamental plant, although it does not open the ring, it is extremely adaptable, and it can live as long as there is water. But because many people don't understand the habits of pothos, pothos can easily die from it.

Raise pothos, do a good job of these aspects, you can rest assured that you can raise boldly, and you don't have to worry about yellow leaves.

The causes and solutions that may cause the yellowing of pothos leaves are as follows:

1. Lack of moisture leads to yellowing of the leaf edges. If there is not enough water in the pothos soil, the edges of the leaves will dry and yellow, and the leaves will fall off. At this time, it is necessary to water the pothos in time;

2. Excessive water causes the leaf surface to be dark yellow. If there is too much water in the pothos soil or in the container, it will also cause the leaves to yellow, and the leaves will appear dull and yellow, so you need to stop watering at this time and loosen the soil appropriately;

3. The light is dark, causing the new leaves to be yellow. If the pothos is placed in a dark and unventilated place for a long time, the green leaves will cause yellowish due to the lack of chlorophyll, so it is necessary to place the pothos in a cool and well-lit place;

4. Insufficient fertilization leads to yellowing of roots and leaves. When pothos lacks nutrients and does not apply enough fertilizer, the color of the leaves will gradually fade and turn yellow, especially the leaves at the roots will turn yellow and fall off first. At this time, it is necessary to fertilize the pothos.

There are two solutions to the yellowing of water-fed pothos leaves: one is to plant it in a pot, and the other is to buy a nutrient solution.

Pothos Yellow Leaves Problem:

The pothos bought back in winter is generally frozen, so the yellow leaves will soon appear indoors, and after these frozen yellow leaves fall, new leaves will be re-issued in the Spring Festival.

Generally, the newly bought pothos has an adaptation period of about 1 month to the new environment, and the yellow leaves at the bottom are normal, but remember: the yellow leaves or dead leaves should not be peeled off directly, but should be cut from the middle of the petioles, so as to avoid excessive water loss and increased wounds caused by direct peeling, which will cause the upper leaves to turn yellow.

Although pothos is not afraid of shade, a very dark environment will also cause yellow leaves, so you can move your position regularly to a place with good light; At the same time, it should not be exposed to the sun, excessive exposure to strong light will not only cause yellow leaves to fall off, but also lead to the death of the whole plant.

If the potting soil is too dry or too wet, both conditions will cause metabolic disorders, and the root system will be damaged, resulting in yellow leaf loss.

Lack of fertilizer, malnutrition will also appear yellow leaves, at this time should be supplemented with fertilizer in time.

You can fertilize with beer appropriately, method: mix beer with water at a ratio of 1:1, and spray the stems and leaves.

Too much topdressing is also easy to cause root burning, resulting in yellowing and wilting of leaves, and the fertilizer can be diluted with water to let the nutrients flow away with the water.
