Placing pothos in the home is a favorite decoration for many people, which not only adds vitality and vitality, but also absorbs harmful substances in the air and makes the home environment fresher. However, did you know that not all locations are suitable for pothos. Here I will tell you four locations to avoid them! This is not a superstitious statement, but a conclusion based on my own experience and expertise.
Section 1: Bedroom bedside tables
The story begins at the home of my friend Emily. She is a person who pays great attention to decoration and every corner of the bedroom is beautifully furnished. Recently, however, she had a strange sleep problem, having trouble falling asleep every night and waking up with headaches and fatigue. When I was fortunate enough to learn about her condition, I immediately went to find out.
Walking into her bedroom, I immediately noticed a possible problem - pothos on her bedside table. While pothos looks lush and healthy, it can have negative effects when placed on a bedside table. I explained to Emily that pothos release oxygen at night, but they also release some carbon dioxide. If pothos is placed on the bedside table, it may cause a lack of oxygen, affecting Emily's sleep quality.
After listening to my explanation, Emily quickly moved the pothos off the bedside table and rearranged it in the rest of the bedroom. Over time, her sleep quality gradually improved, and her headaches and fatigue disappeared.
Section 2: Kitchen stoves
In my own home, I once made a mistake by placing pothos. It was a sunny morning and I was preparing breakfast in the kitchen when suddenly, I smelled a strange smell, as if it was burnt. When I approached the stove, it turned out that the pothos leaf I had placed there accidentally touched the stove, causing the stove to smoke.
This scene made me realize an important problem: it is very dangerous to have pothos in the kitchen. The leaves of pothos can be easily scalded by heat sources and even start fires. Therefore, neither a gas stove nor an induction cooker is suitable as a place for pothos.
I quickly moved the pothos to the windowsill of the kitchen, away from the danger of the stove. Since then, I haven't had a similar accident in the kitchen.
Session 3: Computer desk in the study
The study room is one of my favorite places, it has my favorite books and computers, and it is a place for me to study and work. However, I once made a mistake of placing pothos, which brought a lot of trouble to my studies and work.
At first, I thought that having a pot of pothos on the computer desk in my study would add a touch of freshness, but I quickly discovered the problem. Due to the long operation of the computer, the heat and radiation emitted will cause damage to the pothos, causing its leaves to turn yellow and even wilt.
As soon as I realized the problem, I moved the pothos to a different part of the study, away from the computer desk. Since then, my pothos has thrived and I have enjoyed a better learning and working environment in my study.
Section 4: TV cabinet in the living room
The last position, and one I would like to remind everyone to avoid, is the TV cabinet in the living room. A TV cabinet is often the entertainment center of the home, but it is also a place that is not suitable for pothos.
I once had a friend who placed a pot of pothos on the TV cabinet in the living room, and as a result, the leaves of the pothos turned wilted after a while, which seriously affected the overall appearance of the living room.
After some investigation and analysis, I found that the TV cabinet in the living room is usually affected by the radiation and heat of electronic devices such as TVs and stereos, which is not conducive to the growth of pothos. Therefore, if you want to place pothos in the living room, it is best to choose a place away from the TV cabinet so as not to affect the growth and health of the pothos.
epilogue
Through the above stories and experiences, I believe you have understood which positions to avoid when placing pothos. Although pothos is a suitable plant for home decoration, it also needs to be carefully cared for and placed. I hope my experience and lessons can help you and make your home environment more fresh and comfortable!
