What fertilizer is good for the yellowing leaves of Epipremnum aureum
Summary: This article provides plant cultivation tips on how to deal with the yellowing leaves of Epipremnum aureum and补救 methods for yellow leaves, with detailed information as follows:
Many potted plants will enter dormancy when temperatures rise in summer, but for Epipremnum aureum and Chlorophytum comosum, it is their peak growing season. During this period, as long as they are supplied with water and fertilizer, the plants can grow a large number of branches and leaves, becoming lush and green.
Recently, some flower enthusiasts have mentioned that their Epipremnum aureum at home is not growing well, with small leaves and some yellowing. Upon inquiry, it turned out that they never fertilize their Epipremnum aureum and have never repotted it. It's no wonder that the plant is not doing well. To make Epipremnum aureum grow vigorously, it is not enough to just water it; it also needs to be supplemented regularly with a dilute compound fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. In the absence of flower fertilizer, you can also ferment some nutrient-rich water to nourish the plant.
Regularly supplement nutrients
1. Soybean water
You should not go too long without fertilizing your Epipremnum aureum. Without flower fertilizer, you can also make some flower care fertilizers at home. For example, soybean meal is commonly used in flower care and is very easy to make. First, cook the soybeans until they are soft, then let them cool before pouring the soybean water, along with the beans, into a plastic bucket. Seal the bucket tightly and place it in a warm area to ferment. Generally, it can be used for flower care after fermenting for 2-3 months in the summer. When using fermented soybean water for Epipremnum aureum, dilute it with about 20 parts water to prevent burning the plant's roots.
2. Rice washing water
Fermented rice washing water is also a good fertilizer for Epipremnum aureum. Fully fermented rice washing water is acidic and rich in nutrients, which is very beneficial for the growth of Epipremnum aureum. Regular use of rice washing water can make the leaves of Epipremnum aureum浓绿硕大 (dark green and large), full of luster.
Some flower enthusiasts directly pour rice washing water into the pot, which ferments in the soil and generates heat, easily burning the roots and causing yellowing leaves.

3. Beer water
If you find it麻烦 (troublesome) to ferment soybean water or rice washing water, you can also use beer to nourish Epipremnum aureum. Open the beer, let it sit for a day or two to let the alcohol evaporate, and then dilute it with 10 parts water to water the plant. You can also frequently wipe the leaves of Epipremnum aureum with beer water, which allows the plant to absorb nutrients from the beer through its leaves, making the leaves larger and more glossy.
Repot every 1-2 years
To make your Epipremnum aureum grow vigorously, in addition to fertilizing it regularly to supplement nutrients, if you don't repot it for a long time, the roots will fill the pot, intertwine with each other, and severely affect the absorption of nutrients. Also, as the plant grows, it will absorb all the nutrients in the potting soil, causing the soil to compact over time, which will also affect growth. Therefore, to make Epipremnum aureum grow more vigorously, it is best to repot and trim the old and weak roots every 1-2 years and replace the potting soil with new soil.
If your Epipremnum aureum is not growing well, you can repot it with new soil and fertilize it regularly during its growth to supplement nutrients. Maintain good ventilation in the environment, frequently spray water on the leaf surface to increase humidity, and the plant will soon grow lush and green leaves.
