How to cultivate Epipremnum aureum
This article provides an introduction to the cultivation and care of Epipremnum aureum, detailing the steps for growing this green plant. Let's take a look together.
Recently, I've noticed that many friends have joined the ranks of flower planting enthusiasts, which makes me very happy. There are many benefits to growing flowering plants, apart from relaxing the mind and body, one can also explore the wonderful world of plants. To provide a more systematic explanation of plant cultivation, I will once again discuss the planting methods of Epipremnum aureum, hoping that everyone can understand the growth principles of plants and apply them accordingly.
Before preparing to plant a pot of plants, it is essential to understand the growth habits of the plant you are cultivating. Taking Epipremnum aureum as an example, it grows long vines, but these vines are different from traditional climbing plants. Its branches are round and smooth, and when it is growing vigorously, many heart-shaped leaves emerge on the branches. The distance between the leaves is even, and they look very beautiful.
It originally grows in warm climates where high humidity is most suitable, but this does not mean that it needs to be watered frequently. As long as the temperature is maintained between 10 to 30 degrees Celsius, Epipremnum aureum can grow well.
Firstly, let's talk about the placement of the Epipremnum aureum pot. Many friends like to hang it directly on the balcony, but this method is not entirely correct. Epipremnum aureum prefers to grow in semi-shaded areas where sunlight is not too abundant, as excessive sunlight can easily burn its skin and cause the leaves to turn yellow. Especially for newly planted Epipremnum aureum, it should be placed in a shaded area.
How to cultivate Epipremnum aureum
I recommend that everyone hang the pot of Epipremnum aureum upside down. After a period of growth, many branches will climb out from the edge of the pot. The hanging appearance looks like a curtain full of pearls, which is very beautiful, swaying gently with the breeze.
Next, a crucial point in the cultivation of Epipremnum aureum is to master the watering method. Those who have planted Epipremnum aureum know that its roots are very developed, and if the pot is too small, the white roots will tightly wrap around each other. Therefore, when watering, do not pour too much water; just wet the soil thoroughly. Otherwise, the roots may rot if they are completely soaked in water. If black spots appear on the branches and leaves of Epipremnum aureum, it indicates that the roots may have rotted.
When the roots of Epipremnum aureum rot, the best solution is to replace the soil and cut off the blackened parts of the roots with scissors to allow them to regrow. Alternatively, cut off healthy branches for hydroponics, which is also a good method of replanting.
The final point is the fertilizing method for Epipremnum aureum. When the weather warms up, Epipremnum aureum grows very fast and consumes a lot of nutrients, so it needs to be fertilized once every two weeks during this period. We often use compound fertilizers as its fertilizer. I recommend that everyone simply spread the fertilizer on the surface of the soil, as placing it in the soil can easily touch the roots.
The above is a comprehensive explanation of how to cultivate Epipremnum aureum and the steps for its care and cultivation, hoping to solve your problems with green plants.
