4. Lighting management

Pothos is shade-tolerant and has strong adaptability, but an appropriate amount of scattered light can help it grow faster and avoid yellowing leaves and root rot. It is recommended to place the green radish in places with scattered light such as windowsills.

5. Cutting propagation

It is easy to propagate the green radish by cuttings. Cut 10-15cm branches, insert them into the soil and water them thoroughly. Keep the soil moist and it will take root. Through cuttings, the green radish can fill the pot faster and improve the ornamental effect.

In short, if you want to grow green ivy well, you must pay attention to every step, and only the correct watering method can make the green ivy more lush.
