It is recommended to use loose soil for raising pothos, which is more conducive to the respiration of its root system; it is recommended to use soil with high humus content, which can provide it with sufficient nutrients; it is recommended to add perlite to adjust the pH of the soil. Specifically, its soil can be formulated by mixing peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite together.

1. Soil conditions

1. Drainage: Most plants are suitable for growing in soil with good drainage, and pothos is no exception. If water cannot penetrate or water accumulates easily, the plant will be short of water or the water will flood the roots, which is detrimental to its growth. Adding river sand to potting soil can improve its drainage.

2. Breathability: The breathing of Pothos still depends on the roots. , so it is also necessary for the soil to have good air permeability. If the soil is compacted, it will cause the roots to breathe poorly and easily cause the plant to wilt. Regular loosening of the soil can solve ventilation problems.

3. Nutrition: In addition to fertilizing to supplement nutrients, the rich humus in the soil itself can also provide nutrients. Adding an appropriate amount of humus soil to the flower pot can meet the nutrients needed for plant growth.

4. Acidity: Pothos is suitable in slightly acidic soil grow. If the soil is severely alkaline, it is easy for the leaves to turn yellow and wither. You can mix perlite into the potting soil, or pour ferrous sulfate solution to improve it.

2. How to prepare

For seedlings or cuttings, the soil should be leaf rot soil or humus soil. Perlite can be added to leaf humus soil to improve soil pH and improve air permeability. Sand can be added to the humus soil to enhance drainage.

For grown Pothos, peat soil and pearls are generally used Rock and vermiculite are mixed in a ratio of 3:1:1.
