Pothos is the most common flower species in daily life. Its leaves are green all year round with a glossy surface. The leaves are in the shape of a cute heart. The dense and soft branches hang naturally from the flower pot, looking full of vitality. Not only does it have high ornamental value, but it also has the ability to purify the air. It can be said that it is a must-have green plant for every household.
Even if you don’t like to grow flowers, you will always keep a few pots of pothos as decoration at home. But a family has a large space, with living room, bedroom, kitchen and other different locations. When we grow pothos, which location is the most suitable? Today we will talk about this issue in detail for you.
The growth habits of Pothos
Pothos is native to the tropical rain forest and grows in the shade of tall trees, thus allowing it to develop the habit of a tropical shade plant. It likes a warm and humid environment, and the most suitable growing temperature is between 18 and 25 degrees. It likes to grow in a semi-shady place with sufficient scattered light, and cannot accept direct sunlight, otherwise it will be sunburned. The root system is shallow but has strong vitality. It needs loose, breathable, slightly acidic soil rich in humus. You can directly use commercially available nutrient soil. Pothos is not tolerant to severe cold. When the temperature is close to 10 degrees in autumn and winter, it needs to be moved to a warm room for maintenance.
Where to place the green radish
The seemingly ordinary green radish is actually a very "versatile" green plant. Placing a pot in the room can add greenery and vitality to the space, making it an indispensable variety in home greening.
Living room
The space in the living room is relatively large. Pothos is a small green plant. When growing in the living room, it usually needs to be paired with medium and large green plants such as Money Tree , Money Tree . The most common method is to put some flower stands in the corner and grow the pothos in the corner. Pothos likes moist spaces and has strong shade tolerance. Dark and moist corners are very suitable for its growth.
Green plant walls
In recent years, it has been particularly popular to decorate green walls at home. This method was first popular abroad, and then gradually spread to China. Professional green walls are very expensive and out of reach for ordinary families. We can make a simple green wall using pothos.
Buy a few wooden display stands from Taobao, or build a few shelves yourself with antiseptic wood and nail the shelves to the wall. Then pull the pothos vines on the wooden frame and let the vines climb all over the wall. Add a few other plants to create a beautiful green wall.
Hanging planting
The branches of Pothos are very soft and will naturally droop when they grow to a certain length. We can take advantage of this feature to plant Pothos hanging. Place the pothos pots on the top of bookshelves or wardrobes, and let the branches of the pothos hang down from high places. Or plant pothos in a hanging pot and hang the hanging pot in the room. This way it doesn't take up much space, and there's a different kind of beauty when you look up and appreciate the pothos.
Study room
Many people who like reading will set up a study room at home for reading and studying. After reading for a long time, your eyes will be particularly dry. Put one or two pots of green radish in the study room, and admire the lush and green branches and leaves from time to time, which can help your eyes relax.
Locations with lots of family activities
The leaves of pothos can absorb a variety of harmful gases such as formaldehyde, benzene, carbon dioxide and trichlorethylene in the air. While purifying indoor air, they can also produce a large amount of oxygen through photosynthesis. Placing pothos in places where family members are more active, such as next to the sofa, on the coffee table, or next to the dining table, not only embellishes the home, but also purifies the surrounding air, which is beneficial to the health of the family.
Bathroom
Bathrooms usually have small spaces, poor lighting, and are extremely humid. It is difficult for ordinary plants to survive in such an environment. Pothos happens to like a humid environment and is very tolerant of shade, so the bathroom is just in line with its habits. Keep a few pots of pothos in the bathroom. The moist ones can promote the growth of the leaves. While the leaves are growing, they can also absorb odors and purify the air, killing two birds with one stone.
A small pot of green radish can play different roles when placed in different locations in the home. Have you learned it?
