Why do the leaves of the pothos I raise turn white?

Pothos is also called kudzu (kudzu belongs to the spider plant category, you want to make the pot denser, you can take the cuttings method, very good to feed), **kudzu is a creeping plant, its stem nodes have aerial roots, can climb other things to grow upward, the stem length can reach more than ten meters or longer. Leaves nearly heart-shaped, entire, dark green, shiny; irregular yellow spots or patches on the leaf surface; The leaves are smaller at the seedling stage, and the leaves increase as the plant grows. Due to the difference in cultivation conditions (especially fertilizer and water conditions), the leaf size is different, and there is no distinction between large-leaved and small-leaved varieties. **Kudzu was introduced and cultivated earlier in China, and there are more cultivation in the south, and the commonly cultivated varieties are:

Kudzu: The leaves have yellow spots and stripes, which are more beautiful.

Pueraria deragard: The leaves are pale yellowish-green, and there are no spots and markings on them, and they are introduced late.

Tricolor pothos: The leaves are bright green with yellow and creamy white patches, which are very beautiful.

Emerald vine: The leaves are green, with no spots or stripes of other colors.

Your plant grows healthy and only has its leaves discolored because of the variety (as long as it's not exposed to the sun).

The stem is slender because it is too wet or the light is not enough or the phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is insufficient, and the flowers that turn white are about to bloom Is your pot of flowers and leaves I don't know how it is.

The pothos may be watered too much water, which will cause water to accumulate in the soil, and the roots of pothos soaked in water will not have enough oxygen to breathe, and it is easy to change to anaerobic respiration, thus producing alcohol. The accumulation of alcohol in the soil will cause the roots of the pothos to be injured, unable to properly draw nutrients from the soil, and if the nutrients cannot keep up, the leaves will turn yellow. In addition, if the pothos is not watered for a long time, its leaves will also turn yellow due to excessive lack of water.

It is also possible that the light is too strong, pothos is suitable for growing in cool conditions, once exposed to strong light, it is easy to make the leaves sunburned, and then yellow. In addition, if the pothos does not see light for a long time, it will lack nutrients due to insufficient photosynthesis and turn yellow.

Pothos planting management:

1. Pothos likes moisture and has high requirements for the humidity of soil and air, so it is necessary to keep the humidity of the potting soil frequently, but there can be no water. At a place of 1-2 cm on the surface of the soil, if it is dry, it should be irrigated in time. Water should be sprinkled frequently to reduce the indoor temperature and increase the humidity in the room.

During the winter dormant period, pay attention to watering and keep the potting soil dry. Pothos is shade-tolerant, likes scattered light, cannot be directly irradiated, and should be stored in a semi-shaded or scattered light environment. Suitable for indoor cultivation.

Generally in spring, summer and autumn, the pothos can be placed on the windowsill in the north or east, and placed in the south window in winter, cultivated outdoors, to avoid direct sunlight, especially in summer, so as not to burn the edge of the leaves, resulting in shrinking of the leaves and dull color of the leaves. When curing outdoors, it should be placed in a well-ventilated and cool place with a transmittance of about 50%.

2. The growth rate of pothos is very fast, and top dressing should be increased during the growth period. Top dressing can be used to green water-soluble fertilizer, spring to summer, every 10 15 days or so, summer to early autumn 15 20 days to apply once, autumn 10 15 days to top dressing, winter not to the potting soil top dressing. Chemical fertilizers should not be used for a long time, because chemical fertilizers will clump the soil and the roots will not be able to absorb it.

3. Pothos is mostly raised by cuttings. Stem and leaf cuttings. It is generally carried out in spring and autumn.

Select annual shoots with bright leaf color, thick leaf quality, and strong growth, and cut off about 15 cm stem segments with 2 3 nodes as cuttings. At a temperature of 25 or higher, it takes about 15-20 days to take root and grow leaves. Leaf cuttings are made using pothos leaves.

The advantage is that it does not cause damage to the plant morphology. Method: Select a strong leaf in the middle and upper part, cut it from the base of the petiole with a knife, and insert it into water or substrate.

The water cuttings method can take root quickly, and is suitable for small amounts of seedlings indoors.

The reasons include improper watering, unbalanced light, and incorrect fertilization, and the reasons for the occurrence of yellow leaves in pothos are analyzed, and Xiaoyou gives corresponding remedial measures.
