How to Revive Withered Epipremnum aureum
Epipremnum aureum, known as the 'evergreen' in the home green plant world, inevitably faces the crisis of withering during its maintenance. When the leaves turn yellow and the stems wilt, there's no need to panic. With scientific treatment, it can regain its vitality. This article systematically sorts out four key treatment plans, combined with different scenarios of hydroponics and soil cultivation, to help you accurately diagnose the root causes of Epipremnum aureum withering.
Treatment for Fertilizer Damage Withering
When the edges of new leaves appear burnt and old leaves fall off in large areas, it is often due to excessive fertilization. Take three steps for immediate first aid: 1. Water the pot soil thoroughly with room temperature water for three consecutive days to dilute the soil nutrient solution concentration. 2. Tilt the pot 45 degrees to promote drainage and use a fan to speed up water evaporation. 3. For severe fertilizer damage, replace the substrate with coconut bran + perlite (3:1) new soil for planting.
Treatment Plan for Sunburn Withering
Two hours of direct sunlight in summer can cause leaf burn. The best treatment process is: • Immediately move to an indoor scattered light environment. • Use a spray bottle to replenish water to the leaf surface. • Trim leaves that are more than 50% burnt. • Use a shading net for a transition of 3-5 days.
Core Techniques for Water Management
Watering Rules for Soil-Grown Epipremnum aureum
Follow the principle of 'wet when dry': ✓ Water when the top 2cm of soil is dry. ✓ Keep the soil slightly dry in winter. ✓ Use a ceramic pot to enhance breathability. ✓ Immediately pour out any water in the saucer.
Key Points for Hydroponic System Maintenance
• Change the tap water every week. • Regularly clean the inside wall of the container with a brush. • Dilute the nutrient solution by 3 times. • Keep a 1cm air layer at the junction of the root and stem.
Through the above systematic treatment plans, 85% of withered Epipremnum aureum can recover within 2-3 weeks. In daily maintenance, wipe the leaves with beer monthly, which can not only remove dust but also supplement amino acids, keeping the Epipremnum aureum continuously glossy.
