Can the spider plant survive if its leaves wilt?

1. Can I still live?

Chlorophytum is a plant with relatively strong vitality, so if you want to make it live again, there is no big problem. However, its ornamental value lies in its leaves, so during the remedial period after the leaves wilt, its ornamental value is not as high as before.

If there is no problem with its root system, and it is just because the maintenance factors are not controlled well, it is relatively easy to remedy. However, it is more prone to root rot, so you need to dig out the plant and trim its rotten roots.

2. Solutions to root rot

1. Dig out the plant slowly, shake off the old soil next to its roots, trim the old roots, and also trim some fibrous roots that are growing too long and too densely.

2. Then cut off the black and rotten roots. Be careful to be gentle and not to damage the main roots, which will affect replanting.

3. Clean the rotten parts slowly with clean water, dip them in fungicide, and place them in a cool place to wait for them to dry.

4. Choose a flower pot with good air permeability, preferably a clay pot, and make sure it is of appropriate size. Replant the plant and add soil around it and compact it.

5. After completion, carry out normal maintenance and do not rush to expose it to sunlight.
