Please note : these are practical tips that I have gathered from several gardening sites. I am not a botanist. These are non-exhaustive advice, since each plant will react differently depending on its environment. If your plant is doing very well and your care does not follow this sheet to the letter, don't change anything. Be attentive to the moods of your plants before anything else !
Obviously these are the same care tips as for each Pothos.
It's on my wishlist !
Family: Araceae
Exposure : Bright if you want the leaves to be very silver but will be able to survive well with subdued light - no direct sunlight.
Mist : regularly throughout the year, more in summer, and in winter if there is heating.
Humidity : It will appreciate clay balls at the bottom of the pot. Also the company of other plants. However, it can be done at the hygrometry of our interiors (as long as there is not too much heating, which makes the air very dry).
Watering in spring / summer : once a week; wait until the substrate is dry on the surface. (we can even wait until it is completely dry, it is better to forget to water it than to water it too much)
Watering in autumn / winter : reduce slowly then increase from 1 to 2 times per month.
Temperature : Ideal between 20-27 ° (68F-80.6F). Must not drop below 16 ° (60.8F).
Repotting : In the spring every two to three years if the plant is cramped (roots sticking out); but this is a plant that generally likes to be in a small space, so you should not repot more than 4cm of additional diameter.
Surfacing : once a year.
Soil : Potting soil for green plants or sand and peat / well-drained houseplant. The best being an intermediate araceous mixture, 25% potting soil (preferably organic), 25% sphagnum moss, 40% coconut bark (between 10 and 20 mm) and 10% perlite (20% if your climate is rather temperate / cool).
Liquid fertilizer : if used, from May to October once or twice a month, then stop completely. Useless if the soil is recent and already contains fertilizer (wait at least a month). Liquid fertilizer should always be administered on a soil previously watered.
Concerns :
-If the leaves turn yellow or have brown spots : excess water or fertilizer / or draft / or cold.
-If the leaves dry : not enough water. The leaves can also curl in extreme drought.
-If the veins become discolored : lack of light.
Subject to red spiders (mites). Mist in anticipation.
Overall very resistant to pests.
To know : poisonous plant. Watch out for children & animals.
If the plant has roots that come out from above, called aerial roots, it is advisable not to cut them. During a possible repotting, they should not be covered.
Using a moss stake to help the plant climb up will result in much larger leaves.
There is a lot of care and advice that generally applies to almost all houseplants, such as avoiding drafts, putting clay balls at the bottom of the pot, avoiding installing near springs heat, avoid direct sun ... To find out about them, I advise you to read my article Basic tips for indoor plants. Otherwise, generally speaking, the articles on the Basic Tips page.
Depolluting
