Epipremnum Aureum, Pothos - Natural Window Grilles Cover

Natural Window Grilles Cover with Pothos

I read thru the net and saw many people share the advantage of growing Pothos at home. Some of the benefits is Pothos help to purify the air, capture dust, lower down the temperature, beautify the your house and in FengShui's theory its bring in fortune.

To fulfill all the benefit listed above, the best location to grow this plant will be onto my room window grilles. Firstly, dust came from the window, so it can help to block of the dust. Secondly it can block of the sunlight and still allow wind to breeze thru, I believe that will reduce the temperature and lastly beautify the place.

My understanding of FengShui is if a environment make a person feel good it will attract a lot of positive energy and this will lead to prosperity. and other factor that benefit the plant, Pothos is a indoor house plant, it a climber vines type plant so window grilles is a good planting spot and its a indoor environment.

Pothos have characteristic to absorb the water from the air using their aerial roots, but that amount of water is not enough to make them flourish. They will move around the window grilles, normally toward the light. To make proper cover, guide the vines to where you wanted. Frequent watering is still required, preferably mix in some diluted fertilizer to boost the growth.

When the leaf is not expose to sunlight the leaf will be green.

When the leaf is expose to sunlight the leaf will have different shades of green.

Note: The leaves will have different shades of green depending on exposure to the sunlight (see pic above). Following the law of the nature, plant fight for resources too, so some of the Pothos will have very nice shades of green, big leaves and thick stem. Try to distribute the water and fertilizer evenly to avoid this situation or try planting it in different pots.

The downside of this planting method is ants or insects love to mingle around with the plants, especially when you are planting it with soil. These might scare off your ladies friends.

Second (theory part) the plant give you oxygen in the day and fight for your oxygen in the night, so is not really a good idea to plant it in your sleeping area.
