How to grow Chlorophytum and Pothos and precautions

Growth habits of Chlorophytum comosum

Chlorophytum comosum likes warm, humid semi-shady environment, and is suitable for growing in loose, fertile, well-drained soil. It cannot tolerate direct sunlight and is best maintained in an environment with strong scattered light. If it is not exposed to the sun for a long time, the internodes will become slender and weak, and the leaves will become thinner and lighter. The best cultivation temperature for Chlorophytum comosum is between 20-24℃.

Chlorophytum comosum cultivation method

Chlorophytum comosum and Chlorophytum comosum cannot tolerate direct sunlight, and are suitable for maintenance in places with sufficient scattered light. During normal maintenance, the soil needs to be kept slightly moist and the temperature can be controlled between 20-24℃. If the temperature is low in winter, measures need to be taken in time to keep warm. Thin fertilizers should be applied in time during the growing season. Foliar fertilizers or liquid fertilizers should be used as the main fertilizer.

Watering Chlorophytum comosum

During the maintenance of spider plants and green radishes, the soil should be kept moist, but water should not accumulate to avoid affecting the growth of the roots. In addition, the frequency of watering can be increased in summer, and the amount of watering should be strictly controlled in winter to keep the soil slightly dry.

Fertilizing Chlorophytum Corydalis

It is best to use granular fertilizer when fertilizing spider plants and green radishes. You can choose organic fertilizer or controlled-release fertilizer, apply small amounts frequently, and apply thin fertilizer each time. Do not use concentrated fertilizer.

Chlorophytum comosum pruning

The dense and long branches and leaves of spider plants and green radishes should be trimmed to promote the sprouting of new branches and maintain the overall shape. The yellow leaves and sick and weak branches of the green radish should also be trimmed regularly to avoid consuming more nutrients. The pruning length should be shortened appropriately in winter. You can cut off one-half to two-thirds of the stems of the plant. New leaves will soon grow and cover the entire palm column.

Precautions for the maintenance of Chlorophytum comosum

Chlorophytum and Chlorophytum need to be repotted in time during their growth period. Stop watering a few days before repotting to facilitate removing the plant from the pot. After taking out the plant, you can keep some of the original soil. Also, be sure to cut off the rotten and dried roots. It is best to soak them in a solution of carbendazim. After drying, you can put them directly into the pot. You can add a little base fertilizer to the soil.
