Chlorophytum has "6 fears". No wonder the leaves are easy to bend and they can't be kept well. You can avoid them when you see

Chlorophytum is native to South Africa. It is a perennial green herb with oblique or flat rhizomes. It has many tender and succulent succulent roots. With proper care, its root system grows very fast and can fill a large pot in half a year. There are many varieties of Chlorophytum, the most common ones are the common Phnom Penh Chlorophytum , Golden Heart Chlorophytum , Silver Edge Chlorophytum , Silver Heart Chlorophytum and Green Leaf Chlorophytum , the leaves of these species of Chlorophytum are elegant and elegant. , Keeping a pot at home can not only beautify the home, but also absorb harmful gases in the air, absorb dust, and increase air humidity and oxygen. It is a very practical ornamental plant, so many people will keep a pot of spider plants at home.

Chlorophytum is strong in nature and easy to maintain, but many people who have raised Chlorophytum will find that it is not easy to die, but it is not easy to maintain. I can't maintain a good state, why is this? What many people don't know is that spider plants have "6 fears". It is no wonder that leaves easily bent.

01, afraid of soil airtight

Spider plant has a lot of juicy flesh, such a root system has certain requirements on the soil, Although the spider plant is strong in nature, it can also grow in ordinary soil, but ordinary Garden soil has certain requirements for breeding technology, because a little improper, it will make its root system rot and cause the death of the whole plant, so when we raise spider plants, especially potted spider plants, it is best to use loose and breathable ones nutrient soil .

For example, leaf humus , peat soil , sandy loam, and then add some decomposed organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer as base fertilizer , which is extremely beneficial to its later growth. Just planted spider plants, if the soil is used correctly, And added some base hanging fertilizer, it can grow robustly without fertilization within half a year.

02, I am afraid of not changing pots and soil

At the beginning, we said that with proper maintenance, the roots of Chlorophytum grow very quickly, and the pots can be full in seven or eight months. When changing the pot, after removing the pot, you will find that flowerpot is full of its root system, and there is almost no soil. The growth is extremely unfavorable. After a long time, it will have yellow leaves, dry tips and shriveled roots.

Therefore, in order to promote the growth of potted Chlorophytum, it is best to change the pot and soil every year. If the pot is deep and the base fertilizer is sufficient, it can be once every 2 years, but not for a long time.

When turning the pot, take the plant out of the pot, cut off the withered roots and some roots that grow too densely. If you don’t want to cut more strong roots, you can change to a larger flower pot. If you don’t want to change the pot, you can also Divide the plants, one pot becomes more pots. When planting, add new nutrient soil, and add some decomposed cake fertilizer as the substrate. After planting, water it well, put it in a cool and ventilated place, and slow down the seedlings. Generally, it can be maintained normally in 7-10 days.

03, I am afraid that the growth environment is not suitable for

Chlorophytum plants, the demand for light is not high, but it cannot be without light for a long time, the light is too strong, the leaves will turn yellow, dry tips, lack of light, its leaves will Soft but not firm, easy to bend, Therefore, if you want Chlorophytum to grow robustly, it must be placed in a place suitable for its growth. It is recommended to place it in the living room and balcony with sufficient scattered light and good ventilation for indoor maintenance. Do not place it in a poorly ventilated place Don't keep it in the kitchen with too much oil smoke, and place it in the bathroom with poor lighting and ventilation.

It is early summer now. Except for in the south of , the temperature in most areas is not very high, and the light is not at its strongest. At this time, the spider plants can be raised without shading, but when the temperature is higher than 32 degrees , Chlorophytum must be properly shaded, and remember not to be exposed to strong light, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow soon.

04. Fear of improper watering.

Chlorophytum likes a humid environment, but is also afraid of water accumulation. The best situation is that the soil is moist but not wet, and the air humidity is around 60%. If the air is dry, the spider plants are prone to dry tips.

For watering spider plants, generally, the soil in the basin is 50 to 60% dry, and then you can water it, and then water it thoroughly. Do not accumulate water in the basin. After watering, allow more ventilation. Usually, you can spray more on the leaves of the spider orchid and the surrounding air. Moisture to improve the air humidity can make the leaves of the spider plant more green, the texture is clearer, and the growth is more vigorous.

05, I am afraid of not fertilizing for a long time.

The demand for fertilizer is not very large. If basal fertilizer is added, it can grow robustly without fertilizing for half a year. If it is not fertilized throughout the year, after its base fertilizer is used up, the soil will be easily alkalized and hardened without the adjustment of fertilizers. In this case, the growth of spider plants will definitely slow down, and then the yellow leaves will be dull, and the ornamental value will become more and more. lower.

If you want Chlorophytum to grow strong, the leaves are green and shiny, not bent or yellow, you must apply thin fertilizers frequently, 2-3 times a month with compound fertilizer, or nutrient solution for foliage plants, It can meet its growth needs, it is very simple.

06, afraid of drying wind

Spiderwort likes a humid air environment, and in many areas in summer, the temperature is high and the air is dry. In such a case, if you keep blowing it dry, its leaves will be quickly dehydrated , the phenomenon of dry tip will appear soon , so when the weather is hot and the air is dry, we must spray some water mist on its leaves, or place a pot of water next to it. If you add some water to the tray of the flowerpot, increase the air humidity and make its leaves more green, not bent, dry and pointed, and yellow leaves.

The above is what I shared today: "Chlorophytum has "6 fears", no wonder the leaves are easy to bend, and it can't be maintained well. I can avoid it when I see it", I hope you like it, see you in the next issue!
