WHAT TYPE OF SOIL FOR THE EPIPREMNUM GLOBAL GREEN?

A well-draining soil is essential.

Use a mixture composed of potting mix enriched with essential elements, coconut husks, and perlite, to retain moisture while allowing good drainage.

The Epipremnum prefers a slightly acidic to neutral soil pH.

We recommend our "Aroid Substrate" which perfectly meets the requirements of the Epipremnum Global Green.

HOW TO WATER AN EPIPREMNUM GLOBAL GREEN?

Watering should be moderate to avoid root rot.

Let the potting mix dry deep down between waterings. In winter, space out waterings further.

Always use room-temperature water to avoid stressing the plant.

TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL PROPAGATION

The Epipremnum Global Green propagates very easily by stem cuttings.

Choose a healthy stem with at least two nodes.

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

We recommend rooting the cutting in water first, remember to change the water about once a week.

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

Once the cuttings have rooted well, plant them in a pot with drainage holes, preferably transparent, with 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, periods of excessive dryness.

HOW TO PREVENT AND TREAT PESTS?

Epipremnums can be affected by aphids, mealybugs, thrips, and spider mites.

Inspect regularly to prevent any signs of infestation.

In case of infestation, treat with natural and organic methods such as black soap.
