How to propagate the oil painting spider plant by cuttings

1. Cutting time

To take cuttings of Chlorophytum comosum, it is best to choose spring April-May, or autumn September-November , because the temperature is higher during these two periods and the plants survive better after cuttings.

2. Cutting treatment

When cuttings of Chlorophytum comosum, first use a pair of sterilized sharp scissors to cut a 15-20 cm branch from a virus-free plant, then apply rooting powder to the bottom of the branch to allow the roots to grow better.

3. Soil conditions

After cutting the branches of a painting spider plant, choose loose, fertile, well-drained soil, add some peat and rotten leaves to the soil to increase soil fertility. Then plant the plant in the soil and water it every 3-5 days to meet its growth needs and maintain normal growth of the plant.

Chlorophytum consumes a lot of nutrients during its growth process, so when cultivating it, it is best to apply nitrogen-diluted fertilizer once every half a month to supplement the nutrients needed for plant growth and make the flowers grow better.

Precautions for cuttings of Chlorophytum comosum

After the cuttings are completed, the plants should be placed in a ventilated place with an ambient temperature between 15-25℃. Do not water too much at the beginning and do not fertilize. Wait until new roots grow before increasing the watering appropriately to prevent the bottom from rotting and affecting rooting.
