The appearance of the spider plant is fresh and elegant, with a full vitality, and is loved by many people. Especially for novice friends who love flowers, they will choose spider plants for maintenance because their maintenance is relatively low. There is no difficult place to maintain spider plants and it is very easy to survive, but it is not easy to maintain them beautifully and beautifully.
Many friends will find that it grows very fast after caring for spider plants at home. However, the entire plant has no shape and grows tilted. In fact, if you want to cultivate spider plants, you also need to pay attention to the method. What should you pay attention to?
1, how to choose soil for raising spider plants
The vitality of spider plants is strong. Even if the soil with relatively poor soil quality is raised in the pastoral soil, it can grow normally. However, if you think it is more ornamental, it is best to choose loose and breathable soil. Before planting, you can add some breathable substrate to the bottom of the pot. We can put some pine needles, charcoal or some small gravel on the bottom of the pot, so that the permeability of the bottom of the pot can be greatly improved.
not only prevents the occurrence of water accumulation, but also is more conducive to the growth of the roots of the spider plant. The root system of the spider plant is very thick radish roots, and the deep-tipping ability is not strong. Only when the soil is loose and breathable can the root system grow vigorously, and it will naturally grow the leaves of the spider plant well. Some friends will also add roots to the spider plant to increase the beauty and develop the appearance of a small bonsai, which is also very good.
2, raise spider plants, choose the environment
spider plants This plant does not have very high requirements for sunlight, and it is afraid of the fierce sunlight. For example, when we are caring for spider plants in autumn, the sunlight is not too strong, and we can appropriately increase the sunshine time. However, we also need to adjust appropriately according to the situation. Sometimes the temperature is quite high at noon in autumn, so don’t put the spider plants outdoors at this time.
And in winter, even at noon, the ultraviolet rays are relatively weak and the temperature is low. At this time, we can place the spider plant in a sunny place and let it shine into the sun throughout the day. If the light is too strong, the leaves of the spider plant will be burned, causing dry tips, yellow leaves and leaves to wither.
However, if you raise a spider plant, if there is insufficient light, it will grow too long over time, the leaves will break and be uneven, which will be too ugly. Therefore, if you raise a spider plant well, you must choose the lighting well. It is best to keep it in a semi-shady place. The leaves are tall and strong, wide and green, which is the most ornamental value.
3, change the pots appropriately
In autumn, we can also change the pots of spider plants. At this time, the temperature is not high or low, which is suitable for the rapid growth of spider plants. At this time, its roots grow very fast. Generally speaking, the pot soil for planting spider plants will basically be exhausted in two years, and the plants will grow a lot.
can be replaced with a large flower pot. Of course, if the plant is too big and it takes up a lot of space at home, it is okay to throw it away directly. Cut the hanging spider plants and re-cut them. You can get a beautiful spider plants in one or two months. More stylish than older plants.
If you want to change the spider plant to a large pot, when changing the pot, we need to clean up some root systems at its roots that have poor growth or broken growth. For those roots that are entangled together, we must also sort out them out. When necessary, we can trim them so that their roots can be completely stretched in the new pot soil, so that their roots can be absorbed by nutrients and their growth conditions will be better.
4, replenish more water in summer
Because the temperature in summer is high, spider plants grow very fast and consume a lot of water. Therefore, in this season, spider plants should be watered appropriately. If the pot soil starts to dry, water it in time. Generally speaking, watering at least twice a day. To ensure the humidity of the pot soil, we also need to spray some water mist around the spider plant to nourish its leaves.
However, it should be noted here that the above watering frequency is only suitable for outdoor maintenance spider plants. If it is indoor maintenance, do not water too diligently in summer. Because the ventilation inside is not as good as the outdoors, if too much water is poured, it is easy to cause water accumulation.
5, supplement nutrients in autumn and winter
0 The temperature in these two seasons is not high, and it is the time period for spider plants to grow rapidly. Therefore, we can fertilize it once a week. The fertilizers used are mainly potassium fertilizer and phosphorus nitrogen fertilizer , and are used alternately in the process. In addition, be careful not to use too much portions each time.
In these two seasons, it is best for friends to adjust the position of the spider plant according to changes in the environment and temperature. If the sunlight is not particularly strong, you can place it outdoors for maintenance. If the temperature is not stable during the seasons, then put it in a half-day environment.
6. Reduce moisture in winter using
In winter, the growth of spider plants is relatively slow, especially when the temperature is below 5 degrees. Spider plants will stop growing in this environment, and we should not water it at this time. If the place where we plant spider plants is cold and the temperature has fallen below zero in winter, we must be cautious even if the soil is already very dry. Of course, if there is heating in your friends' home, it is best to keep it indoors in winter.
Spinaceous plants are neatly planted, with green leaves, wide and green, and are particularly appreciated. If your spinaceous plants are always raised, or have dry tips, yellow leaves, you might as well try these methods.
