The spider plant is cut down and it explodes like crazy

Can spider plants also be beheaded?

Everyone knows how to behead succulents, but few know that spider plants can also be beheaded! If you don’t want the spider plant to grow too big, you can cut off its head. One month after cutting off the head, it will become a fresh small pot again.

Beheading steps

1. First, make sure the root system is healthy, and then cut off all the leaves of the spider plant 2 to 3 cm away from the roots.

2. After beheading, sprinkle some wood ash or grain charcoal in the pot, which can serve as fertilizer and sterilizer. But don't rush to water it. Water it after 2 days and a bunch of sprouts will soon emerge.

3. Place the spider plant in a cool and ventilated place, avoid direct sunlight, water it when it is dry, and don't water it too much at one time. After the new leaves grow out, slowly increase the light and watering.

4. After beheading, the spider plant grows very well, basically changing every day, and it will bloom into a full-size pot in 1 to 2 months.

Don’t waste the cut spider plants, they will take root in 2 days of hydroponics

When beheading the plant, a lot of runners will be cut off. Don't waste them. Throw them into water and they will take root in 2 days. They will be very beautiful.

Hydroponics steps

1. Find a few clean containers, glass bottles are best, so that you can easily observe the growth of the roots.

2. Place the small spider plant with aerial roots into a container, and then put some small stones to fix the spider plant. The gaps between the stones are also conducive to the rooting of the spider plant.

3. Add water into the container to cover the stones, and leave half of the aerial roots of the spider plant above the water surface to avoid root rot.

4. Place the spider plant in a ventilated and well-lit place. Add some water when the water is almost dry. Then you don’t have to worry about it and just wait for it to bloom.

Chlorophytum comosum grows into weeds? Change the pot!

After growing wildly, spider plants will look very shapeless, like a pile of weeds. After repotting, the shape of the plant will gradually become more beautiful!

Determine the timing of repotting

Turn the pot over and find that many roots have emerged from the bottom of the pot, which means it is time to change the pot. The bigger the pot, the more wildly the spider plant will grow.

Repotting steps

1. Put some pebbles or expanded clay at the bottom of the pot to ensure good air permeability and prevent root rot.

2. The soil should be loose and breathable, mixed with leaf mold and river sand. It is best to add some dried crushed eggshells.

3. Take the spider plant out of the pot, cut off the diseased roots, old roots and necrotic roots, and place it in a cool place to dry for a few hours after pruning before putting it in the pot.

4. The flowerpot should be one size larger than the original one. First fill 1/3 of the soil, then move the spider plant in, compact the soil, cover it with a layer of loose soil, then water it thoroughly, and place it in a ventilated and cool place to slow down the potting.

4. It is best to change the pot once a year. Apply bean cake fertilizer once a month after changing the pot, and stop fertilizing after winter.
