Pothos is one of the easiest plants to keep indoors. The steps to take into account to ensure a lush crop and strong plant growth are few and simple. Additionally, pothos is also one of the easiest plants to propagate from cuttings out there. You just need to take one in good condition and put it in the water.
Pothos is a plant that grows in height and width so as soon as we arrive we transfer it to a jar. We start with a layer of expanded clay, to promote natural drainage and then we proceed with a mixture of peat and pralite that will help keep the soil well drained for the plant.
Now with our hands we make space and insert the plant. We press well and add another mixture of peat and perlite until the pot is full. We water abundantly.
where to place
This is a climbing plant, so we choose a place where it can grow and descend without obstacles.
It will give you clean air at home because it is a plant with high purifying capabilities that absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen like all plants.
In winter it can be in full sun even outside, but be careful with the wind.
In summer it prefers partially shaded areas but always bright both indoors and outdoors.
Irrigation
We only water when the soil is completely dry. It also resists drought well.
Fertilization
Once a month with liquid fertilizer for green plants with water. Or the slow release granular.
To spread it?
Pothos is one of the easiest plants to propagate out there. You can do this procedure in water or on land, you just have to pay attention to a few simple steps. First we take a cut that has at least two knots, with a pair of scissors. The nodes of the cutting are those little black eyes that we can see along the stem. Remember that there must be beginnings of sprouts for new ones to grow, then put it in a small jar with two inches of water. Let’s remember to change it every 2 weeks or so.
When the first roots appear, we can bury them or plant them in a vase with water.
