Nowadays, there is a lot of knowledge about Epipremnum aureum, and its popularity is quite high. Everyone knows that it is easy to grow, but many gardening enthusiasts are not very clear on how to make it grow fast and flourish. Moreover, Epipremnum aureum tends to become sparse and thin after being kept for a long time, as shown in the following picture.
The new Epipremnum aureum we buy, whether in small or large pots, is very lush and in good condition. However, after keeping it for a while, we find that it does not grow fast and is not as lush. What is the reason for this?
In the editor's view, there are two reasons for this problem with Epipremnum aureum: one is the environmental issue, and the other is the fertility of the soil.
Firstly, let's talk about the environmental issue. Epipremnum aureum was originally grown in greenhouses or other high-humidity environments. In such environments, not only Epipremnum aureum but almost all plants can grow lush.
Then, let's discuss the issue of soil fertility. When we buy a pot of Epipremnum aureum, there are usually several plants in it. Since Epipremnum aureum grows relatively fast and has high fertilizer requirements, if the fertilizer is not sufficient, the plant will not grow well.
Alright, let's talk about how to plant Epipremnum aureum to make it grow fast and flourish.
1. Usually, there is no need to water excessively; just keep the potting soil slightly moist, but spray water on the leaves of Epipremnum aureum frequently, which helps with the absorption of water. There is another way to water, which is the half-soil and half-water method. Use non-transparent pots, fill them with water, and let the water overflow the soil. This method also works and Epipremnum aureum grows quickly this way.
2. We should develop the habit of fertilizing. For Epipremnum aureum, nitrogen fertilizer is the main type. We usually follow the principle of applying thin fertilizer frequently. Organic fertilizer is even better.
3. Often place Epipremnum aureum in a slightly better-lit place for a few days to let it get some sunlight and ventilation, which also helps with its growth.
4. We know that Epipremnum aureum has aerial roots. In nature, it climbs to where the roots can reach. Because of this, the roots of Epipremnum aureum can easily wither and age. Therefore, we should develop the habit of cutting and propagating, which allows for the replacement of old with new, making the potted Epipremnum aureum look lush.
