How to grow Chlorophytum comosum in summer

1. Temperature

Chlorophytum comosum is afraid of high temperatures and cannot tolerate cold. The most suitable temperature for its growth is between 15 and 25 degrees.

2. Light

Except for the midday in midsummer when plants need to be shaded, they should be given sufficient sunlight at other times and seasons, especially in the cold winter when there is less light. If the Chlorophytum comosum is placed in an environment with too strong light or too little light, the leaves of the plant will not be able to absorb the sunlight that sustains its life, and the leaves will turn light green or even yellow. In severe cases, they will lose their ornamental value. If the sunlight is too strong but the indoor temperature is low, it is most likely to cause the plant to wilt. At the same time, there is a special phenomenon with the Chlorophytum comosum: when there is insufficient light but sufficient fertilizer and water, it is easy for only leaves to grow. Everyone would be disappointed to see the lush green leaves without even a flower. Therefore, in order to avoid this phenomenon, the grower needs to place the Chlorophytum comosum in the sun and water it appropriately.

3. Water volume

Spring and autumn are the times when Chlorophytum comosum grows most vigorously. During this period, we need to add more water to ensure the water use of the plants, especially at noon in midsummer, water should be given in time to increase the humidity of the potted plants. Remember, there should be no accumulation of water in the potting soil.

4. Soil

Choose soil that is breathable and well-drained, preferably sandy soil, and loosen the soil in time.

5. Fertilization

It likes thin fertilizer, so the grower should apply some fertilizer appropriately, not too heavy, just thin fertilizer. It is beneficial to the healthy growth of plants. In addition, pinching off the top of the plants appropriately can reduce the height of the plants, which can effectively make them grow lush and is also beneficial for the formation of flower buds.

6. Pests and diseases

Although this plant is easy to maintain, in order to reduce the incidence rate, do not give it too much water, ensure there is no water accumulation in the flowerpot, ensure good ventilation and pay attention to spraying pesticides for prevention and control, which will greatly reduce the incidence of root rot and root decay.
Special attention should be paid to the following: Excessive watering may cause root rot or even necrosis, and in severe cases, death may occur. It does not require much fertilizer and water. From spring to autumn, growers can fertilize the plants once a month depending on the situation. At the same time, in daily life, trim the yellow leaves and dead leaves more frequently, and make sure to remove the excess fibrous roots.
