Here’s how you should go about watering potus to keep it lusher than ever.
Watering plants is one of the most important cares.
Since it is this maintenance that provides the right moisture conditions for the species to establish, develop and thrive. Thus, when deciding to have a specimen such as these inside the home or garden, it is essential to recognize very well what is the way and frequency with which water should be added to the substrate.About this, it is very important to understand that a single type of form and frequency of irrigation cannot be applied to all specimens, because in reality this care is specific to each plant and also depends on the conditions in which it is at that time, because we must take into account that during the growing season, plants require a significant amount of water, however, there are other times, such as winter time, in which most specimens require minimal moisture.
In this sense, with regard to the potus plant, widely distinguished for being a climbing plant of very simple care that grows quickly developing more leaves, although this is a very simple maintenance, consider that if you do not provide adequate moisture conditions, it can perish. Thus, if you have a specimen like this at home or you are thinking of adding one to your collection, we suggest you follow the following watering tips to make it grow much faster and give splendid leaves.
The potus is a specimen that is characterized by requiring medium and constant humidity.
It is not resistant to drought, much less to excess moisture in the roots, which could lead to early rotting. This means that, in general, it requires a certain frequency of watering, but this should not be excessive or cause the substrate to become waterlogged.
Thus, to establish an adequate watering frequency, it is best to base it on the state of the substrate. For this, we recommend that you water your specimen every time you notice that the first 5 centimeters of the substrate are already dry, in addition, when doing so, it is preferable to use rainwater or treated water, to avoid adverse effects of the minerals contained in tap water.
On the other hand, when watering, consider that you should add plenty of water until you notice that it begins to come out of the drainage holes, at which time you will stop watering, because you will have added enough water. Thus, by following these simple watering tips, you will be able to keep your potus growing quickly and with splendid and lush leaves.
