Among the many net red plants, oil painting wedding spider plants and wedding spider plants are very popular foliage plants. Their appearance is very similar to the bamboo and plum blossoms. Do you know how they are related? How can I take care of them and how to promote flowering?
The above three potted flowers are: oil painting wedding spider orchid, wedding spider orchid and rouge cloud.

3. Precautions for the maintenance of oil painting wedding spider plants:
Oil painting wedding spider plants are very easy to grow foliage plants. They like soft scattered light and are afraid of excessive exposure. Raised on a south-facing balcony, except when it is hot in summer, it should be properly shaded, for example, if the temperature exceeds 33 degrees, it should be slightly shaded at noon and afternoon.
In the cool weather season, you can get as much sunlight as possible, which can promote the leaves to grow more beautiful, the plants grow more compact, and have the opportunity to make beautiful flowers.
Maintenance oil painting Wedding spider plants have more than 3 hours of soft light a day, which can meet its growth needs. Be careful not to keep them in excessively dark places, otherwise the stems and leaves will easily grow leggy, the markings on the leaves will become dim, and the plants will grow. If it is particularly thin, the later viewing will be particularly low.
It is not necessary to water too frequently to maintain oil painting wedding spider plants. If the pot soil is occasionally dry, it can also promote the growth of new lateral buds at the bottom, which is also a maintenance technique.
When planting oil painting wedding spider plants in pots, do not "pattern" watering (don't ask how many days to water once), generally wait for 3-5 cm below the soil surface to dry, and then water it once in time.
You can even wait for the soil to dry out before adding water to it to avoid long-term dampness or stagnant water in the potting soil, which will easily lead to root rot.
If there is stagnant water at the bottom of the flowerpot, pay attention to drain it in time, otherwise the soil will remain wet and easily cause root rot.
Potted oil painting wedding spider plants are relatively adaptable to the environment and can endure dry or slightly humid environments.
If the air is humid, pay attention to enhancing ventilation and reducing watering. If the air is particularly dry, you can occasionally spray water around it, and it is better to maintain the relative humidity between 55% and 65%.
Oil painting wedding spider plants are more afraid of cold, the minimum maintenance temperature is kept above 5 degrees, it can survive the winter safely, when the temperature is too low, pay attention to a little water control, when the temperature is too high, pay attention to proper shade.
As mentioned earlier, patterning does not require excessive watering during the maintenance process. It is very afraid of water. When planting, it must be provided with loose, breathable and well-drained soil. , you can use common peat soil and perlite mixed in a ratio of 3:1.
Or use fine coconut bran, coarse coconut bran and perlite, mix in a ratio of 5:3:2, and mix a little slow-release fertilizer into the basin soil to meet its growth needs. In the process, there is no need to fertilize too frequently. You can occasionally sprinkle some slow-release fertilizers. Generally, it is enough to give it once every 2 to 3 months.
Pruning promotes long side shoots
Oil painting Wedding spider plants grow particularly tall, which will affect the viewing, and some are even about to grow into climbing vines, and they do not pay attention to pruning.
If you want to make the oil painting wedding spider plant look fresher, you must pay attention to regular pruning. Proper pruning can also promote the growth of new small branches, which can make the branches and leaves grow more vigorously.
The above is the unpruned oil painting wedding spider plant.

When pruning oil painting wedding spider plants, you can keep some long stems, each section of stem is about 7~9 cm or more, remove the leaves at the bottom of the stem, and dry the wound slightly. It can be cut in loose and well-drained soil (such as peat soil + perlite, a 2:1 ratio), water it once after planting, and place it in a ventilated place with 2 to 3 hours of soft light every day. , Keep a warm and ventilated environment, maintain a certain humidity, and the temperature is between 20 and 25 degrees. The success rate of cutting cultivation is particularly high.
Ceramic hydroponic cutting propagation
You can also choose hydroponics to promote the stem rooting of oil painting wedding spider plants, that is, prepare a little water to remove the leaves at the bottom of the oil painting wedding spider plants to avoid soaking the leaves in water, there are about 2~3 The centimeter is soaked in water and kept in a place with appropriate soft scattered light. The water is changed every 3 to 5 days. After it takes root, it can be transplanted into the potting soil.
