Does Chlorophytum prefer acidity or alkalinity? What are its requirements for soil?

1. Do you prefer acid or alkaline?

It does not have high requirements for the pH of the soil, but prefers acidity. During the cultivation period, it should be noted that if it is managed in the northern region, the soil and water quality are slightly alkaline. A small amount of vinegar should be added regularly to maintain the acidity. The alkalinity should not be too heavy, otherwise it will affect the growth and various growth problems may occur.

2. What are the requirements for soil?

During breeding, in addition to the pH value of the soil, other aspects should also be paid attention to. Make sure the soil is loose, well-drained, permeable and fertile, so that the plant will grow more vigorously and will be less troublesome to manage in the later stage. You can mix garden soil, peat soil and river sand, and then add an appropriate amount of base fertilizer to increase the nutrients, so that you can meet the needs. In addition, the soil should be moist to a certain degree and water it frequently. During the peak growing season, top dressing should be applied regularly to ensure adequate nutrient supply.

3. Notes

During the management period, you need to repot it every two or three years and replace it with new soil, otherwise the soil quality will deteriorate over time and affect its growth. Every time you repot, you need to replace the soil and re-arrange it. The time for repotting should be in March or April in spring when the climate is suitable, which can reduce damage and resume growth faster.
