What to do if the leaves of the spider plant are too long

1. Too much fertilization

If there is sufficient nutrients in the potting soil, the spider plant will easily develop "rich man's disease", causing the plant to grow wildly. This leaf growth caused by excessive fertilization should stop applying nitrogen fertilizer immediately, and other phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should also be gradually reduced, and then the spider plant should be allowed to slowly return to normal.

2. Too much light

Adequate light will allow the spider plant to carry out photosynthesis and promote its growth. To promote faster growth and reproduction of spider plants, therefore, just provide them with appropriate light. Place the spider plants in a location with scattered light indoors and allow them to receive 1-2 hours of light every day.

3. Maintenance methods

Chlorophytum likes a moist and warm environment, and the soil in the pot should be kept moist. But it has strong drought resistance and will not die even if it is not watered for a few days. When the weather is cold in winter, water less, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow easily. Apply less fertilizer, especially not too much nitrogen fertilizer. It is best to fertilize once every half a month. You can also use ordinary household waste as flower fertilizer, such as egg shells, bone meal, etc., ferment it for a period of time, and then dilute it with water.
