How to prune pothos in winter, how to prune pothos

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.

I recommend another method, which I have tried, is to renew the 2 pothos in the pot first, that is, cut it 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.

In winter, you will be taught how to prune pothos, and in spring, the foliage will flourish.

Pothos can be thinned for its overgrown branches, and long branches with a length of more than 20cm can be shortened, yellowing and diseased leaves should be pruned and sterilized, and the root system of pothos should be pruned when changing pots, so that it can grow healthily.

When pothos grows too vigorously, it can be thinned to thin its dense branches, directly cut off the dense branches that grow in it, and cut off the excess branches and useless branches to keep it well transparent and ventilated, so that it can grow healthily.

If the pothos branches grow too long, after its length exceeds 20cm, it can be shortened and pruned, and the branches that exceed the length can be directly cut off, and the branches below 20cm can be retained, so that the pothos can grow normally and avoid nutrient consumption.

How to prune the yellow or diseased pothos leaves, cut the diseased yellow leaves directly with scissors to avoid its breeding bacteria affecting the health of the pothos, and sterilize and disinfect the pothos after pruning to keep it away from the threat of disease.

Usually do a good job of pruning the roots of pothos, depot the pothos when changing pots, then clean the roots of pothos, prune the long roots, diseased roots, and rotten roots, and then dry the wounds such as disinfection and sterilization, and then replant and maintain.

In addition to daily pruning, you can also prune the pothos modeling, first design the desired shape, and then cut off the branches of the pothos according to the shape, so that it maintains a good plant shape and looks more ornamental.

Modeling For other plants, pruning can promote flowering and new branches, but pothos is different, the biggest purpose of pruning is modeling, the shape of each pot of pothos is not the same, there are pothos columns, there are hanging pots, if you want to maintain his original shape, you have to prune frequently.

Long new pothos grows over time, the branches and leaves will grow thinner and thinner, and the branches and leaves at the bottom will gradually age and turn yellow, if you don't prune in time, I'm afraid your pothos will become old dill!

The hanging pothos has no brown columns, and the pruning is based on potting soil. Generally, the branches and leaves 20 cm away from the potting soil are cut off, and after the new leaves of equal length are grown, the old leaves at the bottom are cut off. To prune, make sure that all branches and leaves are renewed.

Note that after pruning the branches and leaves, it is necessary to take more care to benefit the growth of pothos.
