In the past two years, many florists have followed the trend and bought an internet celebrity plant - oil painting wedding spider plant.
The leaves of the oil painting wedding spider plant are gradient colors of purple, pink, green, and gray and white. It is colorful and has its own fairy spirit. No wonder flower lovers fall in love with it at first sight.
I thought that this advanced plant was not easy to grow. Only after I really took care of it did I feel "really fragrant".
Oil painting Wedding Chlorophytum is not only beautiful in appearance, but also sturdy and easy to maintain. It belongs to the ranks of "lazy people's plants". You can cut a pot by pinching a few branches and give it to neighbors and friends. It's a good deal. How can it not be liked?
However, some florists have discovered that after entering summer, the oil painting wedding spider plant fades and turns green. This is actually a "help" signal it releases, indicating that there is something wrong with your maintenance method. If you don't correct it, it will be too late.
Factor 1 for fading and returning to green: lack of light
An oil painting wedding with colorful leaves. Compared with ordinary spider plants, it prefers light.
The light intensity in summer is high, and the oil painting wedding cannot withstand exposure to the sun. The leaves begin to turn gray, the leaves turn yellow, and even black spots appear on the leaves. You must move away quickly.
If the growth environment of oil painting wedding is too dark and there is no direct light, then its leaves will quickly fade and turn green, which is caused by insufficient photosynthesis.
Therefore, in summer, we should place the oil painting wedding in a brightly lit or astigmatic location. It should not be exposed to the sun, but should also receive reasonable light exposure in order to maintain the colorful appearance.
Pay attention to rotating the flower pot at regular intervals to allow the plants to receive even light.
Factor 2 of fading and returning to green: Too much water
Summer temperatures are high and water evaporates quickly. Oil painting weddings drink more water. It is correct to increase the frequency of adding water appropriately.
If you do not pay attention to the dryness and wetness of the pot soil before watering, and water blindly, it is likely to cause the pot soil to be in a wet state for a long time. At this time, the first manifestation of the oil painting wedding is that the leaves fade and turn green, and the gloss reduce.
If it is not taken care of in time, the roots will become stuffy and rotten, leaving only an empty pot.
Touch the leaves of the oil painting wedding spider plant. They are slightly thicker and fleshy, and the branches are relatively strong. These two characteristics indicate that it can withstand a certain degree of drought.
Therefore, we don’t have to worry about it getting thirsty. Before watering, touch the soil in the pot. The 3-4 cm below the soil layer will be completely dry. It’s not too late to water it thoroughly.
If the ambient temperature is relatively high and the air is relatively dry, you may wish to spray water on the oil painting wedding every day, which can not only reduce the temperature, but also hydrate the leaves, killing two birds with one stone.
It should be noted that ventilation should be paid attention to whether after watering or spraying water.
Fading and greening factor three: Flower fertilizers with high nitrogen content
Fertilize foliage plants. Many flower lovers like to use flower fertilizers with relatively high nitrogen content, which can quickly promote the growth of branches and leaves.
However, the oil painting wedding spider plant is an exception.
Its leaves are colorful. If only nitrogen fertilizer is applied, the leaves will fade and turn green.
If you want to keep the bright colors of your oil painting wedding, you should pay attention to the amount of phosphorus and potassium used.
You can use flower fertilizers with balanced nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content, such as Huaduoduo No. 1 water-soluble fertilizer, granular compound fertilizer, etc.
If you find that the oil painting wedding has faded and turned green due to nutrient reasons, such as being exposed to rain (rainwater contains high nitrogen content) or misuse of nitrogen fertilizer, you can topdress 1-2 times with thin phosphorus and potassium fertilizer , which can improve this. question.
Because the leaves of the oil painting wedding spider plant have low chlorophyll content, the nutrients accumulated for photosynthesis are relatively small, because daily fertilization is very necessary, otherwise the growth will be slow and the leaves will be very small.
Can oil painting wedding leaves turn back to color after fading and returning to green?
The leaves of the wedding spider plant fade and turn green, which is not a disease. As long as the root cause of the turn to green is found and targeted solutions are taken, it can completely turn back to color.
If there are yellow leaves or sun spots on the leaves, the leaves are injured. In this case, the leaves cannot return to normal leaves. If it affects the appearance, they can be trimmed off.
