Purple spider plant cultivation method

Purple spider plant is actually quite easy to grow. First of all, keep the soil in the pot moist. Do not water too much each time to avoid water accumulation. Keep it in a warm environment all year round and avoid high or low temperature environments. It can receive sufficient sunlight every day to promote the growth of branches and leaves. Finally, take good fertilization measures to promote colorful flowers.

1. Temperature

  Purple spider plant is not adaptable to both low and high temperatures, so it needs to be cultivated at a suitable temperature, generally room temperature. However, purple spider plant is not adaptable to high or low temperatures in summer and winter, so it needs to be adjusted appropriately to make it grow better.

2. Sunlight

  Purple spider plant needs enough sunlight. Because its leaves are relatively large, it needs enough light to make it grow better. Therefore, sufficient light must be ensured, but strong light must be avoided. In summer, purple spider plant should be avoided from direct sunlight, otherwise it will grow worse.

3. Moisture

  If you want the purple spider plant to grow more luxuriantly, you need to add more water to it. During the cultivation process, you need to keep the soil slightly moist so that the roots can grow better. When the air is relatively dry, you should also spray it with water appropriately, which will make the leaves grow faster.

4. Fertilization

If you want the leaves of the purple spider plant to be more lush, you need to fertilize it. However, when fertilizing, be careful not to get the fertilizer on the leaves of the purple spider plant, otherwise it will easily cause the leaves to wither. Also, do not apply too much fertilizer at one time, otherwise the purple spider plant will be inactivated due to too much fertilizer.

5. Pruning

The growth rate of purple spider plant is very fast, so its branches and leaves should be pruned in time, otherwise it will affect the overall beauty. The cut branches and leaves can also be re-rooted, which can make the purple spider plant grow better. Regular pruning of the branches and leaves of purple spider plant can make it grow more lush.

Things to note when growing purple spider plants

When cultivating it, pay attention to loosening the soil and repotting it every year, provide fertile, loose, organic-rich soil, trim and disinfect its roots, and then replant it to enable it to grow better.

2. Pest and disease control: To cultivate purple spider plants well, it is necessary to do a good job of disease and pest control. The leaves of purple spider plants are often attacked by pests. It is necessary to expel pests in time, spray pesticides to kill pests, and spray bactericidal solutions to kill bacteria and prevent poisons to prevent the growth of pathogens.
