To care for spider plants, the old man has a trick: just water them with this kind of water each time, and the branches will grow unstoppably!

For example, Huahua knows a retired old man who has no other hobbies but to grow flowers, especially spider plants. The spider plants in his house all have long branches and green leaves. Huahua asked him for the maintenance secrets, but the old man said there was no secret at all, just water the plants every time. Later she found out that the water was "specially made" and it was particularly effective for growing spider plants!

The raw material for making the "special water" that the old man mentioned is the willow branches that we usually see on the roadside. We all know that willow trees have strong vitality. If you pick a branch and stick it in the soil, it will survive. The reason why willow trees are so easy to grow is that they contain a large amount of salicylic acid and nutrients, which promote rooting and germination. We use this kind of water to grow flowers, which not only promotes growth but also prevents rot. In fact, the process of making willow branch water is very simple!

We first remove the willow leaves from the collected willow branches, leaving only the branches. Then we trim the branches into small pieces of about 8 cm and soak them in water to clean them. The purpose of cleaning willow branches is to remove bacteria and dust on the surface to prevent infection during use. After cleaning the willow branches, you can put them into a sealed container, pour water until it is 80% full, and finally move it to a cool place to wait for fermentation. The fermentation time is generally half a month.

The fermented willow branch water can be used directly for spider plants, and the frequency of use is basically once every half a month. In addition to watering flowers, willow branch water can also be used to dip the bottom of plants when they are grafted, which will help them take root and sprout faster! I never knew that willow branches made into water were so effective for growing flowers.

Although we have found special nutrient water that can be used to care for spider plants, we cannot be careless in our daily care. Chlorophytum is strictly prohibited from being exposed to strong light under normal circumstances. A gentle scattered light source is enough, otherwise yellow leaves will appear. Chlorophytum likes water, so it is necessary to keep the soil in the pot moist during the growth period, especially in the summer when evaporation is high. It is also necessary to spray water mist to increase the humidity in the air when necessary.

The branches of spider plants can be pruned regularly to ensure a balance of nutrients and prevent the branches from growing too long. Mature spider plants need to be repotted almost every year to ensure sufficient growing space. Having said so much, I believe everyone has a general understanding of how to care for spider plants. If you care for them in this way, I believe your spider plants will bloom like crazy!
