Introduction of Chlorophytum comosumChlorophytum comosum is a plant of the Liliaceae family and Chlorophytum genus. It is distributed in Jilin, Hebei, Shaanxi, Sichuan Province and East China in China. It has broad linear leaves, light green, with thick cylindrical fleshy roots and small white flowers. It can be propagated by cuttings, division, and sowing. How to grow Chlorophytum comosumChlorophytum comosum likes a warm environment and is not cold-resistant. The minimum temperature for wintering is about 10℃. It likes bright light and avoids direct sunlight in summer. Shade measures need to be taken. The soil should be kept moist during the growing period. The number of waterings can be increased in summer, and less watering should be done in winter and rainy season. Fertilizer should be applied once every half a month during the growth period. It is suitable for planting in fertile, loose, and well-drained sandy soil. Watering methodThe soil of Chlorophytum comosum needs to be kept moist during its growth period. The higher the temperature, the more frequently it needs to be watered. Water should also be sprayed around and on the surface of the plant frequently. Watering should be controlled during the rainy season and on cloudy days, and no water should accumulate in the potting soil. Fertilization methodChlorophytum comosum is a fertilizer-loving plant. If it is not fertilized in time, the leaves will lose their original color, the tops will slowly turn yellow, and eventually fall off. Therefore, it is necessary to apply a thin layer of fertilizer every 15 days. Pruning methodsChlorophytum comosum can be pruned every year. It grows fast, so yellow and dead leaves can be pruned in time to reduce nutrient loss. You can also prun it according to personal preference, but you should stop appreciating it for a while after pruning, because the plant may look ugly after pruning. Precautions for growing Chlorophytum comosumChlorophytum comosum cannot tolerate low temperature environments. The winter temperature needs to be kept above ten degrees Celsius to survive the winter safely. The temperature is higher in summer, so shade measures need to be taken and ventilation should be carried out frequently to ensure air circulation. |
