Growth habits of goldfish spider plant

Goldfish Chlorophytum likes high temperature, high humidity, and negative environment. If it is placed in the sun for a long time, it will cause leaves to fall if it is too dry or the temperature is too low in winter. The suitable temperature for growth is 18-26℃. Generally, it can be placed in a bright window indoors or on a shady balcony. The cultivation soil needs to be loose and well-drained. The soil should not contain lime and is preferably acidic.

Goldfish Chlorophytum Cultivation Method

Soil: It needs to grow in fertile, loose, breathable and well-drained soil. For home breeding, humus soil mixed with garden soil and river sand can be used as the breeding matrix, with a mixing ratio of 4:3:2.

Lighting: When basking in the sun at home, be sure to shade the goldfish hanging plant and place it in a place with diffused light indoors.

Temperature: The temperature during the entire growth process should be maintained between 10-28 degrees Celsius. When the temperature is low, the plant is prone to frost damage, so in winter it is best to move the goldfish spider plant to a warm indoor place for breeding.

Watering: Be sure to give it plenty of water, especially in the summer when the temperature is relatively high. You can choose to use the immersion pot method to spray some water around it to moisturize it. When watering, do not pour water directly on the leaves, because light can be reflected by water droplets. If placed outdoors, the leaves are likely to be sunburned by the light.

Fertilization: When planting, you can add some nutrient soil to the soil to increase the nutrients in the soil, and apply some organic fertilizers during the growth period, such as fermented rice water, chicken manure, sheep manure, etc. Applying some phosphorus fertilizer before flowering can make the goldfish spider plant bloom more flowers and the petals more colorful.

Pruning: It is necessary to trim the branches of the goldfish spider plant from time to time, and also cut off all the branches on the top of the goldfish spider plant. If the middle part grows too densely, it will not get sunlight. After a long time, the leaves will turn yellow and fall off, so the branches in the middle must also be pruned.

Precautions for breeding goldfish spider plants

Repotting: The goldfish plant is usually repotted every 2 to 3 years. If the branches and leaves in the container grow too crowded, it is necessary to repot. Each time, a larger container should be selected to ensure that the plant has a larger space to grow, which is conducive to promoting continuous blooming.

Pests and diseases: Chlorophytum comosum is easily infected with spider mites in dry or hot environments. During normal maintenance, the environment must be ventilated and disinfectants must be used regularly to avoid fungal diseases. When watering, be careful to avoid waterlogging or excessive moisture in the soil.
