WHAT TYPE OF SOIL FOR EPIPREMNUM N'JOY?

A light, rich and well-draining potting mix is ​​ideal.

A mixture composed of potting soil , perlite , and pine bark or coconut chips promotes good root aeration and efficient drainage, thus avoiding the risk of rot.

We recommend our " Araceae Substrate " which will perfectly suit the needs of the Pothos N'Joy !

HOW TO WATER AN EPIPREMNUM N'JOY?

Watering should be moderate , allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

In summer , monitor the soil moisture more frequently and water accordingly.

In winter, space out waterings to allow the soil to dry out more and for several days.

HOW TO PROPAGATE A POTHOS N'JOY?

Epipremnum N'Joy is easily propagated by stem cuttings.

Choose a healthy stem with at least two nodes.

Cut below a node and place the cutting in water or directly into suitable potting soil.

We advise you to root the cutting first in water , remember to change the water about once a week.

Keep the cutting in a warm place with indirect light until roots develop, usually within a few weeks.

Once the cuttings have rooted well, plant them in a pot with drainage holes , preferably transparent , with a suitable substrate.

The transparent pot will allow you to observe the development of the root system and easily monitor the moisture of the substrate, thus helping to avoid overwatering or, conversely, excessively long periods of drought.

Inspect regularly to prevent any signs of mealybugs, thrips or spider mites.
