A comprehensive introduction to the knowledge of epipremnum aureum cultivation at home. Can ordinary soil be used to grow epipremnum aureum? Let's take a look!
Epipremnum aureum is one of the most common types of green plants. In most cases, we do not need to consider the soil problem and can use the soil that comes with it. Some gardening friends have asked if ordinary soil can be used to grow epipremnum aureum. Here we talk about what kind of soil is better for growing epipremnum aureum.
Ordinary soil, each gardening friend has a different definition. Here we will roughly explain. If you think of ordinary soil as direct garden soil, it is not suitable for growing epipremnum aureum. Even if epipremnum aureum can survive, its growth will be very slow. If you consider ordinary soil to be organic media like decomposed leaf soil, then this soil can be used to grow epipremnum aureum. Although it is slightly worse than peat, it will not greatly hinder the growth of epipremnum aureum.
So, what kind of soil is better for growing epipremnum aureum?
This question can be easily answered by looking at the potted epipremnum aureum in the flower market. Almost all potted epipremnum aureum use a mix of peat and perlite.

Epipremnum aureum is a tropical plant that generally grows well in high temperature and humidity environments. If you want epipremnum aureum to grow dense, you first need to check how many epipremnum aureum plants are in the pot. The foundation for dense growth is high-density branches. If there are only a few branches in the pot, no matter how you grow it, it will not look dense. If the branches are sparse in the pot, we can cut the branches and plant them in the pot. With normal management, epipremnum aureum will gradually become dense. The epipremnum aureum in the picture below is the bottom of the picture above. We can see the density of the branches.
