How to grow spider plants and what should you pay attention to?

Chlorophytum is widely loved for its evergreen nature and slender and beautiful leaves, making it an ideal indoor ornamental plant. But many friends often kill spider plants. Let’s learn what methods and precautions to take when growing spider plants.

1. Reasonable fertilization

When planting or repotting, add organic fertilizer to the bottom of the pot as base fertilizer. During the peak growing season in spring and autumn, apply a thin liquid fertilizer once a week, which can be combined with foliar fertilizer . Growth is slow in winter, so stop fertilizing. Pay attention to the golden edge spider plant variety and reduce the application of nitrogen fertilizer to prevent the leaf color from becoming lighter.

2. Water at the right time

In spring and autumn, water 1 to 2 times a week. Water every day in summer and reduce the frequency of watering in winter. In dry seasons, spray water on the surrounding environment to keep the air moist. Check soil moisture before watering and make sure the soil is dry before watering.

3. Suitable lighting

Chlorophytum likes semi-shady environment and avoids strong direct sunlight. Maintain under scattered light to promote photosynthesis and prevent leaves from drying out. Turn the flower pots regularly to ensure that the plants receive even light and improve their ornamental value.

4. Soil selection

Chlorophytum is suitable for loose, fertile, permeable and well-drained soil. You can use garden soil, sandy soil and perlite mixed in a ratio of 2:2:1, or mix 1 part each of leaf mold, garden soil and river sand.

5. Notes

Stop fertilizing during high temperatures in summer (>30°C) and low temperatures in winter (<5°C) to avoid root damage. When fertilizing, avoid splashing fertilizer onto the leaves, especially new shoots, to prevent rot. It is recommended to water slowly along the edge of the pot to ensure that the fertilizer is evenly distributed.

The above are the cultivation methods and precautions for spider plants. By following these simple maintenance methods and precautions, spider plants will thrive and have lush green leaves.
