How to grow spider plants more vigorously in summer

Chlorophytum, also known as creeping grass, is green all year round. Growing it at home can absorb formaldehyde and purify the air. In summer, the temperature is generally high in both the north and south of my country. Although Chlorophytum likes warmth and sunshine, once the temperature is too high or the sunlight is too strong, it will affect its growth.

Key points for growing spider plants in summer

1. Watering

Chlorophytum is a relatively drought-resistant plant, but in the high temperatures of summer, Chlorophytum grows fast and its transpiration is enhanced, so it needs sufficient water to ensure normal growth. You should always pay attention to the dryness and wetness of the Chlorophytum soil. You cannot wait until it is completely dry before watering it. You must ensure that the soil remains moist at all times. You can also spray some water around the Chlorophytum plant to maintain humidity.

2. Fertilization

Chlorophytum grows fast in summer and has relatively high requirements for nutrients. You can apply a small amount of multi-element controlled-release fertilizer granules in the pot, or water the Chlorophytum with some thin fertilizer water in the cooler mornings and evenings.

3. Lighting

Although spider plants like sunlight, the strong light in summer can easily burn their leaves and cause the tips and edges of the leaves to dry out. Spider plants should be placed in a place with scattered light. If they cannot be moved, they need to be shaded.

Precautions for growing spider plants in summer

Chlorophytum may suffer from root rot due to water or fertilizer accumulation in the soil of the pot, poor ventilation, etc. It may also be infected by pests such as aphids and mites. Once a problem occurs, the plant needs to be removed from the pot, the rotten roots and branches and leaves infected by pests cut off, and the plant should be disinfected with polysaccharide before planting and maintenance.
