Cultivation methods and precautions for pothos

Pothos can be cultivated in slightly acidic, humus-rich soils at temperatures between 15 and 25 to maintain optimal growth. The watering can be flexibly adjusted according to the change of seasons, and the fertilizer can choose nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer, rotted cake fertilizer or potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution. During the curing process, it is also necessary to pay attention to pruning from time to time.

The soil for cultivating pothos can be made by mixing humus, garden soil, river sand, red loam soil, etc. The soil quality is adjusted to be slightly acidic, and the soil is loose and breathable, with rich humus nutrients.

The temperature environment of 15 25 is the most suitable for the growth and development of pothos. Pothos is afraid of strong light, so it is better to breed in semi-shade environments, where warm, bright diffused light can make the leaves green and green.

Pothos likes moisture and is afraid of waterlogging, spring, summer and autumn to ensure that the potting soil is moist, watered once in 4 5 days in spring and autumn, and watered once in 1 2 days in summer. In winter, the temperature is too low, so it is more appropriate to water once every 1 or 2 weeks, and the water temperature should be the same as the room temperature.

During the growing season, pothos fertilizer must be given enough nutrients. Apply diluted fertilizer solution to pothos every half month, and the type of fertilizer can choose nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer, rotted cake fertilizer or potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution. The application of thick fertilizer and raw fertilizer is easy to cause fertilizer damage and root rot.

Pothos needs to be pruned to avoid unnecessary nutrient loss and to ensure the ornamentality of the plants. Good ventilation conditions can effectively avoid pests and diseases, and prepare for cold and warmth before winter.

Pothos cultivation method:

1. Frequent ventilation.

Pothos prefers a shady and humid environment, and people will ignore that the growing environment of pothos also needs ventilation. The growth of unventilated pothos slows down, and the leaves are prone to yellowing. Especially when the surrounding environment is moderately large, it is necessary to pay more attention to ventilation.

2. Watering moderately.

Pothos likes water, and watering should be diligent. Water-raised pothos should be changed frequently, once every 3-5 days. Soil-grown pothos is often watered on the stems to promote rooting and can also promote the growth of pothos.

3. Reduce light.

Pothos likes shade, but full shade is also bad, so you can plan to move pothos to a place with light on a regular basis.

4. Control the temperature.

Pothos grows fastest at 20, below 10, and above 30 the growth will be limited. However, there are exceptions in winter, and pothos is easily exposed to freezing in winter, but there is no need to worry.

Leaves that are frozen and yellowed in winter will regrow new leaves in spring.

5. Ensure humidity.

Pothos should be watered frequently to ensure humidity. Soil-grown pothos is often sprayed around the leaves, and water-grown pothos is often changed to ensure that the water is clean and active.

6. Reasonable fertilizer.

Pothos is not very sensitive to fertilizer, and nitrogen fertilizer can be applied once every half month. Sprinkle a thin layer on the surface to promote the growth of pothos.

7. Prune in a timely manner.

Pothos can not be allowed to grow, when the leaves are too long and too thin, it should be properly pruned to improve the ornamental value of pothos.

In order to better improve the ornamental effect of pothos, it should be appropriately shaped.

1) Column type. Erect a wooden stick or bamboo pole about 1 meter high and 5 6 cm in diameter on the ** of the flower pot as a pillar, and tie the outside of the pillar with brown skin; Plant 3 5 pothos of similar size after rooting from cuttings around the pillar so that they can take shape faster. With the growth of pothos, it is necessary to guide its stems and vines in time so that the new vitality on the stem nodes can be adsorbed on the pillars. At the same time, attention should be paid to making the pothos on the column grow plump and distribute consistently, forming a green cylindrical shape.

2) Sagging type.

Plant 2 or 3 pothos plants in a pot, hanging, placing on a flower stand or high indoors. As the stems and leaves droop along the mouth of the pot, the vines can be pruned to allow them to sprout new branches to make the plant fuller.

The ideal growth temperature of pothos is between 15-25, the leaves below 5 will yellow, and frost damage may occur around 0. In winter, low temperatures should be avoided in northern maintenance.

Pothos growth requires bright scattered light and is shade tolerant. It is not recommended to receive direct sunlight during the maintenance process, otherwise sunburn damage will occur.

Maintenance should ensure that the potting soil is in a moist state, and watering should not be too much or too little. Long-term drying will make the leaves yellow, the leaves will become smaller, and the internodes of the leaves will be easy to be too long. If the potting soil is in a state of long-term waterlogging, root rot will occur.

Pothos grows relatively fast and has a relatively large fertilizer demand. During the maintenance process, the potting soil should be changed every 1-2 years, and a part of the base fertilizer can be mixed with the soil to meet its long-term needs. During the growing season of the year, it can be applied with a thin fertilizer every half month.

The most common is leaf spot, which has some round yellow spots on the leaves, and it will also turn black, and the leaf tissue inside the round spots will rot. If a small amount occurs, the leaf can be pruned to remove the infected part. If it is severe, it can be sprayed with methyl tobuzin, carbendazim and other agents.

The air humidity required for pothos is relatively high, and if the indoor air humidity is low, the leaves will be dry and pointy. The humidity of the surrounding environment can be increased by increasing the spray. After a period of home maintenance, long shoots will be extracted, and they can be pruned appropriately according to needs to keep the branches under control.

At the same time, the cut shoots can be re-cut to form a new potted plant.

Modern people for the quality of life can be said to be more and more important, in order to increase the sense of nature and vitality in the house, many people like to place potted plants in the room design, potted plants and flowers as decoration, pothos is a very many people like to place the plant, today I will take you to see the cultivation method of pothos and pay attention to the liquid matters, I hope to be able to help you to a certain extent.

1. Cultivation methods and precautions for pothos.

It is a plant with very strong photosynthesis, if placed too much in the bedroom, it will lead to the lack of air permeability in the bedroom, and will compete with people for oxygen and energy, which will affect the sleep of the occupants.

Second, the cultivation methods and precautions of pothos.

1. The most needed thing for cultivating pothos is temperature, because it is a plant that needs to be able to reproduce in a mild environment, and the soil should be planted with loose and well-drained fertility, and the best acidity, so that the pothos can be more well cultivated, it is also a very good assistant for the essence of air, which can absorb benzene, trichloroethylene, formaldehyde, etc. in the air in the house, so that the plant is the most suitable place in the newly renovated house.

2. Its planting method is different from other plant planting methods, as long as there are aerial roots on the rhizome node, it is very easy to be fed, and it is the best stage of growth during the period of 15 degrees Celsius to 25 degrees Celsius.

3. Cultivation methods and precautions for pothos.

1. Change the water frequently.

The water should be changed two to three times a day, because it absorbs a lot of water, and there are certain requirements for water quality.

2. Suitable temperature.

As long as the indoor temperature is kept above 20 degrees Celsius, it can grow normally, and if the temperature difference is too large, it will be affected.

3. The choice of water quality.

Drinking tap water should be used for watering, as there are a lot of minerals in between.

4. Appropriate amount of light.

Before going to work, it should be placed on the balcony or a place where it can be illuminated, so that it can have enough light and can carry out a photosynthesis, only in this way can the pothos leaves be comfortable and bloom very lushly.

Natural conditions

Light environment: pothos is a relatively easy to raise plant, like shade, like humid and hot environment, winter, room temperature above 10, pothos can safely spend the winter, room temperature above 20, pothos can grow normally. Direct sunlight should be avoided in summer.

In autumn and winter, its illumination should be increased to supplement the lack of temperature and photosynthesis.

Moisture: Pothos cultivation should not be watered too much, and the soil should be kept moist. If stagnant water occurs, mosquitoes and insects will grow, which will affect the growth and appreciation of pothos.

Soil: Pothos should be cultivated in loose, well-drained acidic soil, or it can be raised directly in water.

Other conditions

Fertilization: For the fertilization of pothos farming, organic fertilizer and foliar fertilizer are generally used. When pothos grows slowly in winter, less fertilizer should be applied, and fertilization can be increased appropriately during the growth period of pothos.

Pruning: In winter, due to the cold of pothos that does not grow well, you can cut off two-thirds of the branches and vines to let them grow a little newer.

Precautions

For the yellowing of leaves caused by infection with root rot bacteria, root irrigation can be treated with fungicides such as carbendazim. For physiological diseases, proper watering, fertilization and proper light should be applied to improve after a period of time.
