1. Drainage: most of the plants are suitable for growing in the soil with good drainage, including the pothos. If the water is unable to penetrate, or it is easy to accumulate water, it will cause the plant to lack of water or submerge the root, which is harmful to its growth. Adding river sand to basin soil can improve its drainage.
2. Air permeability: the respiration of the pothos depends on the root, so it is necessary to have good air permeability of the soil. If the soil hardens, it will lead to poor respiration of the root, which will easily cause the plant to wither. Regular loosening can solve the problem of air permeability.
3. Nutrition: in addition to fertilization, the humus rich in the soil itself can also provide nutrition. Add some humus to the flowerpot, which can meet the needs of plant growth.
4. Acidity: Chloranthus is suitable for growing in slightly acidic soil. If the soil alkalization is serious, it is easy to make the leaves yellow and wither. Perlite can be mixed into the basin soil, or poured with ferrous sulfate solution to improve
For seedlings or cuttings, the soil should be saprophytic soil or humus soil. Perlite can be added to saprophytic soil to improve the pH value of soil and improve the air permeability. Humus can be added to the sand to enhance the drainage.
For the growing pothos, peat soil, perlite and vermiculite are generally selected and mixed in the proportion of 3:1:1.
