Conservation management
illumination
Hanging hi hi semi-shade environment, spring and autumn should avoid strong direct sunlight, the summer sun is particularly strong, can only see some of the oblique light, sooner or later, during the day need to cover 50% -70% of the sun, or leaves will tip dry, especially Is a mosaic of varieties, more afraid of strong sunlight, Phnom Penh spider plants in the light of the weak places will grow more beautiful, yellow Phnom Penh is more obvious, more shiny leaves. But winter should make it more common sunlight, in order to keep the leaves soft and fresh green. Family potted spider plant should be placed in front of the south window, or leaves will lose their luster, or even wither. When conditions permit, it is best to turn the flowerpot to a fixed direction of about 15 ° per week to ensure the same degree of sapling droop.
Watering
Chlorophytum like moist environment, easy to keep moist basin soil. Watering should be adequate in summer, around noon and evening should also be sprayed on the branches and leaves, timely cleaning of leaves on the dust to prevent dry leaves. However, the fleshy root of spider plants can store large amounts of water, so it has strong drought resistance ability and will not die for a few days without watering. When the temperature is below 5 ℃ in winter, it should be less water and not too wet in the basin soil, otherwise the leaves will be yellow easily.
Fertilization
Chlorophytum is more resistant to foliage foliage plants, if the lack of fertilizer, easy to senescence head, yellow leaves, loss of ornamental value. From the late spring to early autumn, organic fertilizer can be applied once every 7-10 days. However, nitrogen fertilizer should be applied to mosaic varieties such as Phnom Penh and Golden Heart, so as to avoid the color of the mosaic becoming pale or even disappearing, which will affect the appearance. Appropriate application of bone meal, eggshell system made of organic fertilizer, to be fully fermented, take the appropriate amount of diluent, pouring once every 10-15 days, make bright and beautiful mosaic.
Apply liquid fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season. Mosaic varieties should be less nitrogen fertilizer, or leaves on the white or yellow markings will become obvious Ambient temperature below 4 ℃ to stop fertilization.
prune
Usually cut off yellow leaves at any time. Each year in March can turn the basin once, cut the roots, roots and excess fibrous roots. In May, the middle of the old leaves will cut some Chlorophytum, will promote the germination of more new leaves and small Chlorophytum.
Chlorophyt a very well-developed roots, aquaculture after a period of time should be replaced pots, so as to avoid accumulation of root system, resulting in yellow leaves of Chlorophytum, withered and so on.
