How to propagate violet spider plant and what to pay attention to

How to propagate violet spider plant

There are four common methods of propagating violet spider plants, namely seed propagation, leaf cutting propagation, stem cutting propagation, and tissue culture propagation. Among these planting methods, the most suitable planting method is leaf cutting propagation, which is not only simple and fast, but also has a high survival rate. After planting, roots will grow after a period of time.

Violet Chlorophytum Seed Propagation

The seeds of violet spider plant can be propagated, but they are generally not used because the process is too slow and it is difficult to remove the seeds.

The natural way for violet spider plant to reproduce is by seed propagation, but it is not recommended because it is more troublesome to plant.

Violet Chlorophytum breeding time

If you use leaf cuttings to propagate violet spider plants, you can plant them in spring and autumn every year, because their growth rate is relatively fast during this period, and the temperature and climate are more suitable for their growth. You can usually place them in a place with better lighting environment for maintenance.

Violet Chlorophytum division propagation

When violet spider plants are propagated by division, they grow faster and have a higher survival rate. This is a planting method that maintains the characteristics of the original excellent variety. When maintaining it, it needs to be in a cool environment.

Violet Chlorophytum cutting propagation

When propagating violet spider plants by cuttings, you need to use loose and fertile soil, and water it moist, and then choose thick branches that are free of diseases and dead leaves for planting.

Violet Chlorophytum Seed Propagation

Violet spider plant can be propagated by sowing, which has the highest germination rate. The sowing time is usually between August and October. Its seeds are relatively small, so be sure to choose full and healthy grains for planting.

Violet Chlorophytum leaf cutting propagation

The leaf cutting propagation of violet spider plant is generally carried out in June and July every year. The leaves used should be taken from the healthy mother plant, and after cleaning and disinfection, they are inserted into moist sandy loam.

Hydroponic Violet Chlorophytum propagation

When growing violet spider plants in water, you first need to pick 10-15cm strong branches from the base, retain all the leaves on the upper end of the branches, and then prepare a container. Insert the processed branches into two-thirds of the container, change the water every week, and then wait for the branches to grow new roots.

Things to note when breeding violet spider plants

Violet spider plant needs to be provided with a warm environment during the cultivation period. The temperature between 18 and 24 degrees is more suitable. The high temperature in summer and the low temperature in winter must be controlled, otherwise it will affect the growth. Water it thoroughly at ordinary times and keep the soil slightly moist during the growing season, but there should be no waterlogging, otherwise the roots will easily rot.
