How long does it take for Chlorophytum to adapt to the pot?

Chlorophytum acclimatization time

The length of time it takes for spider plants to acclimate after being potted mainly depends on the environment in which they are kept during the acclimatization period. If, after repotting, it is placed in an environment of about 20°C with scattered light, it will acclimate smoothly in about 5-7 days. However, if the maintenance environment is not good, it may take 15-20 days or even longer to acclimate.

Acclimation performance : You can gently push the spider plant to see if it can be moved. If not, it means it has adapted to the pot. You can also observe its growth. If it grows taller or crooked, it is also a sign of acclimation.

How to make spider plants adapt to the pot quickly

When repotting, you should prepare a pot that is one size larger than the original one so that the roots of the spider plant can breathe better. It is also best to disinfect and sterilize the pot. After repotting, it needs to be placed in a well-ventilated, scattered light area for maintenance and should not be exposed directly to the sun.

Chlorophytum maintenance during the acclimatization period

1. During the acclimatization period of the spider plant, you should pay attention to the maintenance methods. Don't rush to expose it to the sun. It doesn't need to be watered frequently at this time, and you don't need to apply fertilizer. It should be placed in a place with scattered light and ventilation. It does not need to be watered if the soil is slightly moist. It should be allowed to acclimate for a week before applying fertilizer. When the growth resumes, you can manage it normally.

2. If the soil in the pot is relatively soft and moist, it is recommended not to water it. Wait until the soil in the pot is a little drier before watering it to allow the roots of the spider plant time to heal themselves. When the roots are injured, a lot of watering will delay the progress of the spider plant and prolong the time it takes to heal.

3. After repotting the spider plant, you must not apply fertilizer. You must wait until it resumes normal growth and follow the principle of "applying small amounts of fertilizer frequently" to fertilize it.

4. When the spider plant is repotted, the root system is damaged and the water absorption is reduced. At this time, sun exposure will increase the evaporation of water from the leaves, and the water absorbed by the roots cannot be provided to the leaves in time, causing the leaves to lose water and become soft, which can severely cause the death of the spider plant. Usually, the newly transplanted spider plant should be placed in a sunny and ventilated place indoors to facilitate its recovery and growth.
