1 Morphological characteristics editing

It is a large evergreen herbaceous vine that often climbs and grows on rocks and tree trunks. It can grow up to 20 meters with a vine diameter of 4 centimeters. The indoor planting height can reach about 2 meters. Pothos vines are several meters long, and the vines can reach more than ten meters in length. There are aerial roots between nodes. As the growth age increases, the stems become thicker and the leaves become larger and larger. Young branches are whip-like, slender, with larger leaves on the lower side, papery, broadly ovate, short acuminate, and heart-shaped at the base; petioles on mature branches are thick, leaves are thin leathery, emerald green, with irregular pure yellow spots. Block, entire margin, ovate or ovate-oblong with unequal sides, apex acuminate, base deeply heart-shaped. [2] The largest leaves can reach 100 cm long and 45 cm wide (young plants are generally less than 20 cm).

Pothos

Pothos has thick stems and vines that can be several meters long, with aerial roots at the stem nodes. The young leaves are oval and heart-shaped. The leaves of newly propagated seedlings are smaller and lighter in color. As the age of the plant increases, the mature leaves become long oval, about 30cm long and 10cm wide. The dark green leaves are inlaid with yellow-white irregular spots or stripes.

Due to differences in fertilizer and water conditions, the size of the leaves varies. Pothos has luxuriant branches and leaves, good shade tolerance, evergreen and shiny all year round. In winter, outdoor vegetation withers and withers, but indoor pothos is lush and green, so it is a good indoor foliage plant.

Because the stems and vines of Pothos grow quickly, people often cultivate it in the post-vine style, that is, erect a pillar in the center of the flower pot, and wrap some brown hair on the pillar. The diameter of the pillar is up to

22~12cm, then plant 3~4 seedlings in the pot so that their stems and vines can climb and grow around the pillar. There are also pothos plants planted in flower pots and placed on flower stands, with their stems and vines hanging down like green curtains, which is unique and interesting. And

it has certain formaldehyde adsorption effect. Suitable for home and office planting. [3]
