The large pothos is a common indoor foliage plant that can absorb harmful substances in the air and has the effect of beautifying the environment. However, to ensure the healthy growth of large pothos, proper watering methods are very important. This article will introduce in detail how to water large pothos correctly.
1. Understand the characteristics and water requirements of large pothos
Large pothos likes to grow in a humid environment, but too much water will also affect its growth. We need to understand the characteristics and water requirements of large pothos. Generally speaking, large pothos prefers a warm and humid environment and has a high water demand.
2. Pay attention to watering time and frequency
The growth of large pothos requires an appropriate amount of water, but it cannot be watered too frequently, otherwise it will make the soil too moist and cause root rot. The best time for watering is generally in the morning or evening. When watering each time, it is enough to keep the soil surface moist.
3. Choose suitable watering tools
We can use spray bottles, watering cans, or buckets to water, but it should be noted that these tools must be kept clean to avoid polluting the water source or damaging plant growth.
4. Pay attention to the amount and flow rate of watering
The amount of water for each watering should be adjusted according to the plant's growth and ambient temperature. The flow rate should also be slower to prevent the water from draining from the soil too quickly, affecting the plant's growth.
5. Understand the differences in water requirements for large pothos in different seasons
In different seasons, the water requirements of large pothos are also different. In summer, due to the high temperature, large pothos needs more water to maintain its growth; in winter, it is necessary to appropriately reduce the amount of watering to avoid creating an overly humid environment.
6. Avoid water accumulation on the leaves
Water accumulation on the leaves can lead to the growth of bacteria and fungi on the plant leaves, causing diseases. When watering, avoid having water on the leaves.
7. Choose soil with good breathability
In order to ensure the healthy and smooth growth of large pothos, we need to choose soil with good breathability and pay attention to replacing the soil in a timely manner.
8. Understand the water absorption capacity of large pothos
The water absorption capacity of each plant is different, and the amount of water that large pothos can absorb is also limited. We need to adjust the amount of water according to the plant's actual water demand when watering.
9. Avoid overwatering or underwatering
Large pothos likes a humid environment, but too much or too little water will have an adverse effect on its growth. When watering, it is important to control the amount of water used to avoid negative effects.
10. Pay attention to watering time and frequency
Watering time and frequency are one of the important factors that determine the quality of large pothos growth. We need to adjust the watering time and frequency according to the ambient temperature and humidity of the plant.
11. Master watering techniques
Watering also has certain skills. We need to master the tools and watering methods used each time to ensure the quality of large pothos growth.
12. Pay attention to drainage
Large pothos grows in a pot, so it is necessary to pay attention to the smoothness of the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot. When there is too much watering or the soil is too wet, the accumulated water at the bottom of the pot should be cleaned up in time.
13. Avoid watering near the plant
Placing containers with accumulated water next to the large pothos can easily cause water accumulation on the plant's leaves, aggraving the occurrence of plant diseases.
14. Master watering techniques
When watering, we need to master the tools and watering methods used each time to ensure the quality of large pothos growth.
15.
Correct watering methods are one of the important factors to ensure the healthy growth of large pothos. We need to adjust the time, frequency, amount, and flow rate of watering according to the characteristics and water requirements of the plant, and avoid overwatering or underwatering. At the same time, we also need to choose suitable soil and tools, and master the skills and precautions of watering, and keep the environment clean, so that the large pothos can grow healthily.
