Pothos, as a common indoor ornamental leaf plant, is deeply loved by many plant enthusiasts for its unique air purification ability and beautiful appearance. Water culture pothos is even more popular due to its simple maintenance method. This article will introduce you to the method of caring for pothos in water culture, helping you easily own a pot of lush pothos.

Select healthy pothos plants

When choosing pothos for water culture, it is first necessary to select healthy plants free from diseases and pests. Observe whether the leaves are fresh and green, intact, and whether the roots are clean and non-rotten. Healthy pothos plants are the foundation for successful water culture.

Prepare water culture containers and tools

The containers for pothos water culture can be transparent glass bottles, plastic bottles, or ceramic bottles, etc. The size of the container should be slightly larger than the pothos roots, and some water culture-specific tools such as tweezers and scissors need to be prepared.

Clean the pothos roots

Before placing the pothos plant in the container, use scissors to cut off the rotting and blackened roots and rinse them with clean water. This can prevent bacterial growth and ensure the healthy growth of pothos in water culture.

Add clean water and nutrient solution

Place the processed pothos plant in the container, add clean water to fully immerse the roots in water, ensure the water level is not too high to avoid root hypoxia, and then add an appropriate amount of water culture-specific nutrient solution to provide ample nutrition for the pothos.

Maintain suitable lighting and temperature

Pothos prefers scattered light and should be kept away from direct sunlight. Place the water culture pothos in a bright indoor area, such as a windowsill or balcony, and maintain the indoor temperature between 18-28℃ to promote the growth of the pothos.

Regularly replace water and replenish nutrients

The roots of pothos in water culture have high requirements for water quality and should be regularly replaced with clean water, usually once a week. If the water quality is poor, the replacement cycle can be appropriately shortened. Replenish the water culture-specific nutrient solution according to the growth of the pothos.

Pay attention to observation and care

During the maintenance process, closely monitor the growth of the pothos. If you find yellow leaves, rotting roots, or other issues, address them promptly. Regularly prune the withered leaves to maintain the beauty of the pothos.

The method of caring for pothos in water culture is relatively simple. By mastering the above points, you can easily own a pot of lush pothos. Water culture pothos is not only beautiful but also has the function of purifying the air and beautifying the environment. Let's take action and enjoy the beauty brought by pothos in water culture!
