When the surface soil is dry or the soil is completely dry, water it. When the leaves are wilting, make up water in time. It is better to use the basin method to make up the water. If the water is directly poured, good drainage performance shall be ensured to avoid ponding. Don't do it at noon when the temperature is very high, generally choose to water it in the evening or in the morning.

How to decide whether to water

If you want to know when the pothos can be watered, you should make a good judgment.

You can insert a small stick into the soil and take it out in a few minutes. If you find that the stick is not wet, you need to water it. If you find that the stick is still wet, don't rush to water it at this time

The second is to see the degree of moisture and dryness of the soil. If the surface soil has dried, then look at the internal soil. If the internal soil has dried more than half, then it needs to be watered. Otherwise, if it's only a little dry, it doesn't need to be watered.

There is to see the leaves, if the leaves are not very spiritual, wilting, that is water shortage.

Precautions

Pay attention to choose the right frequency to water the pothos. Don't always water it, and don't leave it alone for a long time. Otherwise, the pothos is easy to be too dry or too wet, and it's easy to get yellow leaves and rotten roots.

When watering, we should pay attention to the water permeability of the soil. Generally, the soil with good water permeability will be watered more evenly. Otherwise, when watering gently, I think it's enough, but in fact, some places still haven't been watered, I think it's watered enough, but in fact it's not watered completely, which is not good for the plants.

There is also to pay attention to, when watering the pothos, pay attention not to carry out at noon when the temperature is very high, generally choose to water it in the evening or in the morning, and the water temperature should not be too different from the indoor temperature, so it is easy to make the plant get bad stimulation.
