1. Trimming leavesDuring its growth process, it may have yellow leaves, diseased leaves, dead leaves, leggy leaves or broken leaves, which should be pruned in time upon discovery. When pruning, do not cut straight but cut diagonally. It is best to cut diagonally on each side so that it will look more natural. Cutting off some old leaves in early to mid-May will encourage the spider plant to grow new leaves faster. 2. Pruning the runnersNew stems and leaves will grow on the plant's runners, which you can choose to cut off or keep. You can shorten or directly cut off the longer runners, and they will sprout new stems and leaves after being cut off. 3. Pruning the root systemChlorophytum is a perennial plant with a well-developed root system. The potting soil should be replaced after it has been cultivated for a period of time to prevent the roots from becoming too dense, which may cause the leaves of the Chlorophytum to turn yellow and wither. It is generally necessary to change the potting soil every 2-3 years. When changing the potting soil, you can trim the old roots, rotten roots and excess roots of the spider plant. 4. Pruning managementChlorophytum likes warm, humid and semi-shady environment. After pruning, put it in a ventilated and cool place. The suitable temperature for its growth is 15-25℃, and it is best kept indoors. |
