The money plant, also known as pothos, is a plant that’s easy to grow at home. It not only enhances the beauty of your home, but is also believed to bring happiness, prosperity, and positivity. If you’re limited on space or just starting out, growing it in a glass bottle is a great way to do it. This will give your balcony a fresh and beautiful look.
Let us know how you can grow money plant in a glass bottle in your balcony.
First, you’ll need to select a healthy money plant cutting. Choose a branch with at least two to three nodes. The node is where the leaf emerges. These nodes will develop roots in water. Make sure the cutting is fresh and green.
Now, take a clean and beautiful glass bottle or jar. You can choose bottles of different shapes and colors to match your balcony’s decor. Make sure the bottle is clean to prevent germs from growing in it.
Fill the bottle with clean water. You can also use filtered water. Dirty water can damage the roots and cause algae to grow in the bottle.
Now place the selected cutting in the bottle so that its nodes are submerged in water. The top leaves remain outside the water. If the cutting is very long, you can cut it into several pieces and plant it.
The money plant doesn’t need direct sunlight. Place it in a spot on the balcony that receives filtered sunlight. Too much heat or direct sunlight can burn the leaves. Choose a well-ventilated area.
The best way to care for a money plant is to change its water regularly. It’s best to change it every 3-4 days. This maintains oxygen levels in the water and prevents algae from forming. If you’d like, you can also add a few drops of liquid fertilizer to the water once a month.
This method will not only bring greenery into your home but will also transform your balcony into a serene and beautiful place.
