Chlorophytum cutting time

Chlorophytum can be propagated by cuttings from spring to autumn. The survival rate will be higher when the temperature and humidity are suitable. Cuttings can also be carried out in winter.

Chlorophytum cutting method

The method of propagating spider plants by cuttings is to first cut off the stems and leaves of the spider plant, and then plant it directly into the soil. The next step is to water it. Be sure to water it thoroughly to keep the soil moist. Do not bury it too deep when propagating, otherwise it will easily rot. It is recommended to water the spider plant enough at one time and not too frequently.

Chlorophytum cutting rooting

It is best to choose small plants with many aerial roots. After choosing, you need to cut it off from the stolons, and then you need to cut off its excess leaves. This can prevent the leaves from absorbing too much nutrients. When choosing the soil, you can use relatively loose nutrient soil and garden soil, and dig a small hole of about 4 to 5 cm in the soil. After digging, you can plant it. After the small plant is fixed in the soil, you need to use a spray bottle to spray water on the soil.
