Should I use a large or small pot for the goldfish plant?

The goldfish spider plant is prone to outgrowing the pot when it is being cared for, so you can plant it in a large pot. The pot only needs to be slightly larger than the plant. If it is planted in a small pot, you will need to change the pot frequently.

Growth environment: Goldfish Chlorophytum prefers a warm and humid environment. The best temperature for growth is around 15-25 degrees. In summer, it needs to be shaded and cooled, and water needs to be sprayed into the air when watering.

Repotting time: The goldfish spider plant is generally repotted every other year. It is usually most appropriate to repot it around March in spring. It can also be repotted in autumn or after the flowering period, because the goldfish spider plant will recover faster during these periods.

Should I use a deep or shallow pot for the goldfish plant?

The roots of the goldfish spider plant grow relatively shallowly, so it can generally be maintained in a shallow pot. If it is maintained in a deep pot, the roots of the goldfish spider plant will absorb water and fertilizer more slowly, and the nutrients absorbed will not be comprehensive.

When planting goldfish spider plants, the requirements for flower pots are not very high. They can be maintained in ordinary flower pots or hanging pots. Usually, when maintaining them in ordinary flower pots, you can use ceramic pots or clay pots with good air permeability.

How to repot the goldfish plant

1. Remove from the basin

The goldfish spider plant needs to be removed from the pot before repotting. After removing the pot, the soil on the roots needs to be cleaned, the old roots need to be trimmed off, and the original root ball needs to be trimmed around the outside.

2. Put it in the basin

After removing the goldfish spider plant from the pot, you can use a new pot for maintenance. Generally, when using a new pot for maintenance, you need to lay some tiles at the bottom of the pot to increase air permeability and drainage, and then add some diluted fertilizer water when adding soil.
