How to grow Epipremnum aureum well
If you want to know how to grow Epipremnum aureum well and the correct way to care for it, let's take a look together.
Placing a pot of Epipremnum aureum at home, whether in the living room, balcony, or bathroom, is quite suitable. The leaves are numerous and lush, making the space fresh and pleasing to the eye. They can also climb, growing long and twisty. Keeping it indoors can freshen the air. Moreover, compared to other potted plants like Podocarpus macrophyllus and Phalaenopsis, which are either expensive or become unhealthy or die after some time, Epipremnum aureum is resilient, easy to care for, and has a long lifespan. It can also climb onto other supports or ropes, creating a magnificent green backdrop.
Epipremnum aureum is also very easy to propagate, simply by cutting a section of the stem or several sections and planting them in soil, they can take root and grow. If you want to quickly have a full pot of Epipremnum aureum, you can prepare a flower pot and get more stems to plant directly into the pot. After a few months, it will grow into a full pot. Even a pot of Epipremnum aureum costing only five yuan can be cared for for many years. A friend has had an Epipremnum aureum for nearly twenty years without much care, and it has always grown well. So, what are the tips for growing a good Epipremnum aureum pot plant?
One, Epipremnum aureum likes diffused light
Actually, Epipremnum aureum does not have a large plant structure like roses or hydrangeas and does not require abundant sunlight or a full-day growth environment. It should be placed in a position with diffused light as it does not tolerate direct sunlight. Too much sun can cause the leaves to turn yellow. In winter, a little more light is beneficial, but otherwise, avoid direct sunlight.

In fact, if we place it in the living room or on the inside of the balcony, where there is no direct sunlight, it is very easy to care for. You can simply ignore its existence, and water it only when the soil is dry. Watering Epipremnum aureum doesn't need to be too frequent, and a slightly dry potting mix is fine. In spring, summer, and autumn, when growth is faster, you can water a bit more, while in winter, you should control the watering.
Two, how to fertilize Epipremnum aureum
A friend of Xiaoya, who keeps a pot of Epipremnum aureum on the north-facing windowsill in the office, has never given any fertilizer, just occasionally pouring some leftover tea water into it. Unexpectedly, it grows very well, with lush green leaves that shine. It even needs to be pruned once a year to prevent it from becoming too long and taking up space due to its abundant growth. Alternatively, if you have leftover beer at home, dilute it with water and occasionally pour it into the pot during the growing season, and it will grow especially well.
There is also a very simple method of fertilizing: if you have compound fertilizer at home, you can give a little. This stuff is very cheap and won't cost much. After sprinkling a small amount of compound fertilizer and watering thoroughly, one application can last for half a year without needing to fertilize again, and the plant will still grow lush and green.
Three, Epipremnum aureum is a bit cold-sensitive
Remember that it does not tolerate cold well and has a lower cold tolerance than Chlorophytum comosum. Therefore, in autumn and winter, it should be placed on the indoor balcony to increase light exposure, reduce watering, stop fertilizing and pruning, and avoid repotting, allowing it to survive the winter smoothly. As long as it can survive the winter, it will sprout new branches and leaves in the spring, growing very lush. This way, the Epipremnum aureum in your home can be cared for continuously, staying lush and vibrant.
