Can spider plants be transplanted in winter?

Chlorophytum is not cold-resistant and the temperature in winter is relatively low. If the temperature can be well controlled, it can be transplanted in winter and will survive. If the temperature is difficult to control and is below 5 degrees, try not to plant it, as it will basically not survive.

It is necessary to choose a suitable time to transplant spider plants. Generally speaking, the temperature in spring and autumn is moderate and the air humidity is appropriate. Therefore, transplanting in spring and autumn can effectively increase the survival rate. On the contrary, if transplanted in summer and winter, extreme weather conditions can easily lead to death.

How to transplant spider plants in winter

1. New soil configuration

First of all, the new soil must be kept clean and loose, and have good air permeability and water permeability. Mix river sand with peat soil, and then add some garden soil to make new soil. In order to inhibit the evaporation of water too quickly, you can also put some pebbles on the potting soil after transplantation.

2. Cut off water and remove basin

Before transplanting, the spider plant needs to be cut off from water 3-5 days in advance, and then repotted after the soil is slightly dry to prevent the soil from being too wet and damaging the roots. Then loosen the potting soil with a shovel, gently take out the spider plant, and remove the soil attached to the roots.

3. Division and root pruning

After removing the spider plant from the pot, gently separate the roots of each plant. If you find any rotten or shriveled roots, cut them off in time, spray the cut site with carbendazim disinfectant solution, and then place the spider plant in a cool and ventilated place to dry.

4. Transplanting method

Place the spider plant in the prepared new potting soil, fill the gaps with soil, press the soil firmly with your hands, and finally water the spider plant thoroughly to make the soil completely moist.

Precautions for transplanting spider plants

After removing the spider plant from the pot and pruning it, you need to wait for the wound to dry before putting it back into the pot to avoid bacterial growth. Only 2-3 plants can be planted in one pot, and they should not be too dense to prevent the spider plant from wilting and becoming weak in the later growth process.

After the spider plant is transplanted, it needs to be carefully cared for for a period of time. When the spider plant is fully adapted to the new pot soil environment, maintenance will be easier. When watering, just keep it slightly moist, but not too much. Avoid direct sunlight and keep it diffuse. The surrounding temperature is best controlled above 20 degrees and below 25 degrees.
