Today, let's introduce an easy-to-care indoor green plant, "Epipremnum pinnatum 'Silver Pothos'". As a perennial evergreen vine plant, keeping it indoors can not only enrich the overall home decoration characteristics but also absorb some formaldehyde and purify the air.
In the flower market, "Epipremnum pinnatum 'Silver Pothos'" is mainly grown in pots and through hydroponics. Due to its extremely low difficulty in maintenance, it has been favored by novice flower enthusiasts in recent years. The usual placement can be on a bookshelf, behind a sofa, or on both sides of a TV cabinet. Because it is not delicate at all and only needs moderate moisture, it generally lives well. In terms of specific maintenance, Epipremnum pinnatum 'Silver Pothos' likes diffused light. During the day, it can be placed near a window to let it absorb non-direct sunlight, which helps keep its leaves glossy and green. In summer, pay attention to the strong sunlight at noon to avoid burning the leaves.
The reason why Epipremnum pinnatum 'Silver Pothos' is easy to care for is that the suitable temperature is moderate. It can live well as long as the high temperature does not exceed 30 degrees Celsius and the low temperature does not fall below 10 degrees Celsius. In extremely cold winters, it can be placed in areas with high humidity such as bathrooms or kitchens, or place some wet stones around the potted plant or regularly use a sprayer to increase air humidity. In high-temperature weather, ventilation should be strengthened and spraying water should be used to cool down.
In terms of watering, it likes humidity and avoids drought. The watering principle is to water when the soil is dry to the touch and water thoroughly. After each watering, make sure there is no accumulated water at the bottom of the flower pot. At the same time, keep fresh air circulating as much as possible. Do not place it in a sealed space to avoid the occurrence of pests and diseases.
In terms of soil, Epipremnum pinnatum 'Silver Pothos' likes slightly acidic soil. For hydroponic maintenance, attention should be paid to water quality. If tap water is used, it is best to let it stand for one night before using it. Before taking root, change the water once a day. After taking root, change the water in time if there is less water or the water is turbid.
Finally, when maintaining evergreen plants, a common problem is that the leaves turn white or yellow. When the leaves turn white, it may be caused by excessive light or too little watering. Therefore, for treatment, you can first place it in a relatively warm place, which can alleviate the situation to some extent. When encountering yellowing leaves, it is usually caused by excessive watering and root rot. The fastest treatment method is to first cut off the yellowing parts of the leaves and then reduce the amount of watering.
