How to remedy the yellowing leaves of large-leaf green pothos
This article brings you the knowledge of how to remedy the yellowing leaves of large-leaf green pothos and the reasons and solutions for yellowing leaves in the field of green plants and flowers. Next, the editor will introduce them.
Large-leaf green pothos (Epipremnum aureum) grows in a columnar shape, which is a common growth form and is also known as the large-leaf green pothos column (Pothos pole). If you want to promote the columnar growth of large-leaf green pothos, you can try the following methods:
1. Create support: The large-leaf green pothos column needs a support to grow along. You can use materials such as bamboo stakes, wooden sticks, or vines as supports, insert them into the soil, and place them close to the plant, allowing the stems and vines of the large-leaf green pothos to wrap or climb up.
2. Pruning and trimming: By cutting off the top of the large-leaf green pothos, you can stimulate the growth of its lateral branches, making it more likely to form columnar growth. After cutting off the top, make sure to maintain a certain number of leaves and length of the stems and vines to keep the plant healthy and beautiful.
3. Provide a suitable environment: Large-leaf green pothos has relatively low requirements for light and temperature, but still needs moderate bright indirect light to promote healthy growth. At the same time, maintaining a suitable temperature range (15-25 degrees Celsius) helps the plant grow and form a columnar shape.
4. Moderate fertilization: Large-leaf green pothos does not require too much fertilizer, as excessive fertilization can lead to fragile and rapid stem and vine growth. Regularly apply a moderate amount of indoor plant fertilizer, following the instructions for fertilization, to provide necessary nutrients.
5. Regular tidying: As the large-leaf green pothos grows, the stems and vines may become tangled or messy. Regularly tidy the stems and vines, correcting them and winding them around the support to maintain tidiness and a columnar shape.
In the summer, large-leaf green pothos (Epipremnum aureum) needs special attention to maintain a suitable growing environment. Here are some methods to safely survive the summer:
1. Avoid direct sunlight: Large-leaf green pothos enjoys bright indirect light, but direct sunlight can cause leaf burns. Place the large-leaf green pothos indoors or in a semi-shaded position, avoiding exposure to strong sunlight.
2. Maintain a suitable temperature: Large-leaf green pothos prefers a warm environment, with the most suitable temperature range being 15-25 degrees Celsius. Ensure that the plant is in suitable temperature conditions and avoid exposure to extreme high or low temperatures.
3. Moderately increase humidity: With the increase in summer temperatures and dry air, it is easy for the leaves of large-leaf green pothos to dry out. You can increase the humidity around the plant, for example, by spraying mist or placing a water tray next to the plant. Avoid spraying water directly on the leaves to prevent diseases.
4. Moderate watering: High summer temperatures can easily cause overwatering or excessive drying. Ensure that the soil remains moderately moist but do not overwater. Before watering, check the soil moisture and water again when the surface is slightly dry.
5. Pay attention to ventilation: Good air circulation helps prevent the plant from being infected by fungi or pests. In the summer, ensure sufficient ventilation and avoid dense plant arrangements to promote air circulation.
6. Control the amount of fertilizer: Although the growth rate of large-leaf green pothos is fast in the summer, it is not suitable to over-fertilize. Apply indoor plant fertilizer moderately, following the instructions for fertilization, and avoid excessive fertilization that could lead to an excess of nutrients.
7. Regularly clean the leaves: Regularly use a damp cloth or a soft brush to gently clean the surface of the leaves, removing dust and debris, which helps maintain the leaf's light absorption and respiratory function.
The above sharing on how to remedy the yellowing leaves of large-leaf green pothos and the reasons and solutions for yellowing leaves can serve as a reference for everyone.
