How to cultivate Epipremnum aureum plants
You may not know how to cultivate Epipremnum aureum plants and the small maintenance knowledge of this green plant, but these small experiences of green plant maintenance will definitely be helpful to you. Let's learn about it together!
How to make Epipremnum aureum climb all over the wall?
Epipremnum aureum is a evergreen vine belonging to the麒麟叶属 (Monstera) genus. The leaves of large-leaf Epipremnum aureum are relatively large, while the common Epipremnum aureum leaves are smaller, and there are also variegated Epipremnum aureum. All of them can purify the indoor air, with leaves staying green all year round. It is as easy to raise and propagate as Chlorophytum comosum. Just cut some small branches, put them in water, or in moist potting soil, and white roots will grow out within a week. Originally growing in tropical rainforests, climbing on trees and rocks, it is easy to imagine that it prefers a slightly humid, warm, and diffused light growing environment.
Cultivate Epipremnum aureum with 4 "small steps", and it will grow full in 30 days, climb up the wall in half a year, with glossy green leaves!
To make Epipremnum aureum grow vigorously and cover the wall, the following points need to be achieved:
1. Change the potting soil in time if it is not good
When you first buy Epipremnum aureum, you need to check the potting soil first. If the soil is compacted like stones, or there is only coconut brick soil without leaf mold or peat soil, and the soil is not good, we need to repot and change the soil for it.

2. Place it in a place with diffused light and good ventilation for maintenance
When maintaining Epipremnum aureum, be sure not to expose it to direct sunlight, otherwise the leaves will become white, thin, and unattractive, not green. So, it's fine to keep it in the living room or balcony with diffused light and good ventilation.
3. Increase air humidity but do not let the potting soil accumulate water
Epipremnum aureum likes environments with high air humidity and warm growing conditions. In some cities in the south, Epipremnum aureum thrown randomly on lawns or grown in the open can grow very large leaves and a lot of vines. Therefore, when we grow it at home, we also need to increase the air humidity, and spray water when the air is dry, so that the leaves grow green and glossy.
4. Supplement diluted fertilizer water
Although Epipremnum aureum does not require a lot of fertilizer, it still needs some fertilizer water to promote its rapid growth. Do not water when the potting soil is not dry and not too wet. Fertilizer water is simple, such as expired beer, fermented rice water, soybean water, diluted a bit, and given once every half month during the growing period, which can make it grow vigorously, climb quickly, and have large leaves. Fertilization must be timely during the growing period, and some compound fertilizer water should be sprayed, which must also be diluted. Beer water can be applied on the leaves, making the leaves grow particularly fast, shiny, and green.
