What to do when the pothos leaves grow, what to do when the pothos grows

Pothos due to its rapid growth, and not easy to germinate side branches, the lower old leaves often fall off and cause the ornamental value to be reduced, generally only take the method of letting the growth point continue to grow downward, so that it grows downward, in order to achieve the purpose of covering up the insufficiency, but it is difficult to achieve the desired effect.

Another method is to renew, cut the cuttings of the upper branches, and enjoy them as hanging.

The lower part is cut 15-20 cm away from the potting soil to allow it to regrow new branches and leaves, which is the renewal method, but the cycle is longer.

Another method, which has also been tried, is to renew the 2 pothos in the pot first, that is, cut 15-20 cm away from the potting soil to allow it to germinate new branches and leaves. When the new leaves of these 2 plants are 20 cm, cut 2-3 plants, and so on, after all the renewal, the whole plant has green leaves to enjoy, and it is also a good idea, you may as well try it.

Please note that after pruning, the environment must be suitable.

The upper part of the young branch is cut off from the cuttings, and the lower part is 15-20 cm away from the potting soil as a hanging appreciation, so that it can regrow new branches and leaves, which is a renewal method, but the cycle is longer.

If it's too long, you can trim it off and you're good to go.

The leaves of the pothos have grown, which means that he lacks light, and the lack of light will cause the soil to grow, so you can put it in a place where there is scattered light.

1.After the leaves of pothos grow, you can consider pruning it off, which can be carried out from the bottom, cutting off some of its old leaves and yellow leaves, and cutting off the leaves at the top of it, so as to reduce the phenomenon of excessive leaf length by using the top advantage.

2.In addition, it is also necessary to give pothos abundant sunlight and reduce fertilizer requirements, so that the leaf growth of pothos can be effectively controlled, which is conducive to the appearance of pothos plant shape.

The coping method for pothos growth is as follows:

1. If it is a hanging pothos, you can not prune, or directly according to the need, do appropriate cutting. On the premise of not affecting the perception, you can consider removing part of the old leaves;

2. If it is cultivated by a pelvic column, it can be considered to be wound to the column. It is also possible to pinch the tip at any time to limit growth.

When the pothos shoots are too long, the branches can be pruned to return to their normal length. It is also a good solution to hang pothos to let the branches grow vertically, to build a scaffold for the pothos branches to climb, or to make the branches winding upright. In daily maintenance, it is also necessary to pay attention to reducing fertilization and less sunlight to avoid excessive growth of branches.

1. Prune the branches

Because pothos is vigorous, it is easy for its branches to grow too long and reduce its ornamental value. So how to deal with the pothos when it grows to restore its beauty? The branches of the pothos should be pruned in time, the excessively long branches should be cut off, and the pothos should be pruned by stubbing to make the pothos beautiful.

In addition to pruning long shoots, root pruning is also an option. Cut off the overly long branches at the root of the pothos so that they can no longer grow too long branches. In ordinary times, we should also pay attention to the pruning and shaping of pothos to avoid the phenomenon of excessive branch length.

2. Hanging branches

If you find that the branches of pothos are too long, you can also place them in the air and let the branches hang down for growth. In this way, there is no need to prune the branches of the pothos, and the pothos can form a green waterfall to hang at home, which still has a good ornamental value.

3. Bracket climbing

You can also build a climbing scaffold for the pothos, so that the pothos's overgrown branches grow along the scaffold. The vines of pothos have good climbing ability and can continue to grow along the support, and the longer its branches are, the more ornamental they are, but care should be taken to prune the diseased branches to avoid yellowing and drying up the leaves.

4. The column is wound

There is also a common solution for pothos branches that are too long, which is to let the pothos branches stand up and wrap around. By standing a thick stick in the soil and then wrapping the excessively long branches of the pothos around the pillar, the branches will climb and grow along the pillar, so that the excessively long branches will not have nowhere to place.

1. Reduce fertilization

Excessive nutrient abundance is one of the main reasons for the growth of pothos branches that are too long, and the amount of fertilizer should be paid attention to when maintaining. Generally, a thin fertilizer solution is applied in about half a month during the pothos growth period to meet its growth needs, and when it is found that the pothos branches begin to grow wildly, it is necessary to reduce the frequency of fertilization for growth control.

2. Less sunlight

Sufficient sunlight is also the key to the rapid growth of pothos branches, and if you want to avoid pothos growing too long branches, you should let them get less sunlight. If you find that the pothos branches start to grow too long, you should put them in a cool environment to maintain, start to get less sunlight, and let the pothos branches grow at a normal rate.

When cultivating pothos, sometimes it may grow crazy and grow very long at once, and then the pothos can be pruned.

First of all, in order to prevent excessive growth of pothos and have a good plant shape, it needs to be pruned in time. In the spring, the pothos is renovated.

Secondly, when the pothos is growing, you can prune and adjust the growth of the pothos at any time. When the pothos grows too long, you can cut it short and cut off most of the branches and leaves as much as possible. Wait until the stub shoots sprout new leaves, then cut off the other branches.

Finally, in winter, when the pothos plants lose their leaves due to freezing or other reasons, they can be truncated by half, or two-thirds.

When the pothos grows long, you can give it some different shapes.

One is to build a shelf. Set up a scaffold for the pothos and let the branches and leaves of the pothos climb along the scaffold. The vine nature of pothos is still very strong, and it can be climbed all over it soon, and the whole shelf will be green.

Another is to hang down, you can put the pothos plant in a high place, and then let the excessively long branches and leaves slowly hang down, just think of a green curtain, which is also very meaningful.

In addition, there are other ways, such as winding, climbing the wall, etc., which can make the pothos show a different ornamental effect.

(1) Specific reasons: If there is no watering for a long time, or the amount is too small, then it may cause the leaves to turn yellow. The yellowing is usually at the edge of the leaf. There are also leaves that will fall.

2) Solution: Observe whether the state of the plant is caused by water. If so, then it's time to hydrate in time.

1) Specific reasons: Pothos itself prefers a semi-shady environment. If exposed to strong light for a long time, the leaves will first wither, then turn yellow, or even fall off.

2) Solution: Put it in a cool place in time, and water it in moderation.

1) Specific reasons: too much fertilizer or too thick, which will lead to fertilizer damage. At this time, the old leaves will accumulate too many nutrients, then they will turn yellow, and finally they will fall.

2) Solution: Suspend fertilization first, or reduce the frequency. At the same time, dilute the fertilizer with clean water.

1) Specific reasons: If the ventilation is not good, then the dry and hot environment will also cause the leaves to turn yellow.

2) Solution: Open windows frequently for ventilation, and ensure humidity and nutrition.

1) Specific reasons: If the surrounding environment changes and the plant does not adapt well, it is normal for the leaves to turn yellow.

2) Solution: The adaptation period is about one month. During this time, make sure that all the factors are suitable, and wait for the plants to adapt themselves.

Remedies for yellowing of pothos leaves:1. Prune off yellowed branches and leaves. After the pothos leaves turn yellow, all the yellowed branches and leaves should be pruned off, firstly, for the beauty of the plant, and secondly, the broken branches and leaves may carry a lot of bacteria, if not removed in time, it will infect the whole plant;

2. Place the plants in a warm and ventilated place. In many cases, the yellowing of pothos leaves often occurs in summer or winter, because weather conditions can also affect the growth of pothos;

3. Supplement nitrogen to plants. Pothos plants are yellow, may also be due to the lack of necessary nutrients, in the cultivation of pothos, you can properly apply some well-rotted nitrogen fertilizer to supplement nutrients for pothos, you can also use nitrogen-rich liquid fertilizer to supplement nutrients for pothos.

Keep out of direct sunlight. 2. Lack of sunlight leads to yellowing of pothos leaves (lack of light yellow) in the shade environment for a long time, the leaves do not get enough sunlight, can not form chlorophyll, and the whole leaf turns yellow and then falls off. Workaround:

Move to a well-lit area. 3. Excessive watering leads to yellow (water yellow) pothos leaves, dark yellow and dull young leaves, no obvious changes in old leaves, small yellow-green branches, and new shoots shrunk and not long, indicating excessive watering. Workaround:

Depot the pothos and place it in a ventilated and cool place, and wait for the soil to dry before putting it back into the pot.
