What to pay attention to when cultivating Epipremnum aureum in summer
The editor will introduce what to pay attention to when cultivating Epipremnum aureum in summer and the details of Epipremnum aureum summer maintenance precautions, followed by an introduction to the green plant cultivation content for everyone.
Almost every modern family will have some green plants, which can not only bring some greenery to the living space but also purify the air, which is beneficial to the health of the family. Speaking of the most common family green plants, Epipremnum aureum undoubtedly ranks first. Whether it is in ordinary people's living rooms, bathrooms, bedrooms, or public places such as offices, meeting rooms, and hotels, it can almost be seen everywhere.
As summer approaches and temperatures continue to rise, more attention should be paid to the maintenance of Epipremnum aureum. Epipremnum aureum has "3 fears" in summer. If they cannot be completely avoided, it is easy to have yellow leaves, rotting roots, and even plant death.
1. Fear of strong sunlight exposure
Epipremnum aureum belongs to the tropical rainforest plants. Wild Epipremnum aureum climbs on the bottom of tall trees with their long vines, mainly growing under the tree shade, so it is a shade-loving flower. There are some special cases where Epipremnum aureum can be exposed to direct sunlight, such as in winter when the UV rays are very weak and won't burn the Epipremnum aureum, so it can be exposed to the sun. But in most cases, Epipremnum aureum should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
As summer approaches, the UV rays from the sun become particularly strong, and even humans can't bear to be exposed to the sun for a long time, let alone the shade-loving Epipremnum aureum. If Epipremnum aureum is accidentally exposed to direct sunlight, its leaves can be sunburned within a few hours, and the exposed parts will turn yellow and wither, looking ugly. Therefore, in summer, gardening enthusiasts must pay attention to shading Epipremnum aureum, placing the pot in a bright room or on a balcony without direct strong sunlight to avoid sunburn.

2. Fear of poor ventilation
Many gardening enthusiasts find that their Epipremnum aureum is fine in other seasons, but as soon as summer comes, the old leaves at the bottom of the plant start to turn yellow, and in severe cases, the yellowing starts from the old leaves and extends to the top new leaves. Even some branches will rot and soften. These manifestations are all caused by poor ventilation.
The soil of Epipremnum aureum is relatively moist, and there is also a lot of evaporation of water vapor in high temperatures. If the environment has poor ventilation, the evaporation of a large amount of water vapor can cause the humidity around the leaves to be too high, leading to yellow leaves and withered leaves. If ventilation is not improved after watering Epipremnum aureum, it can cause root rot.
Solving this problem is simple; it just requires us to be more diligent, often opening windows for ventilation in the room, or placing Epipremnum aureum in a well-ventilated position such as a north-facing balcony. As long as the air circulates frequently, there is no need to worry about yellow leaves caused by high humidity.
