How to grow Diamond Emerald Chlorophytum

2. Soil

The growing soil for Diamond Emerald Chlorophytum needs to be loose and breathable. Such soil has good drainage and can prevent excessive moisture in the soil from causing root rot of the plant. Therefore, garden soil plus an appropriate amount of perlite can be used as the growing soil.

It is better to use less rather than more, just keep the soil moist. In winter, when the room temperature is too low, the amount of watering should be reduced.

5. Lighting

Because the sunlight is not strong in winter, the Diamond Emerald Chlorophytum can be placed on a sunny windowsill to receive direct sunlight, thus ensuring that the plant enjoys sufficient sunlight. In spring, summer and autumn, the sunlight is strong and direct exposure will burn the leaves of the plant. The plant can be placed outdoors and provided with appropriate shade.
