Are the leaves of the spider plant turning yellow, drying up, and wilting? Don’t worry, here’s one trick to help you solve it!

What should I do with the dry tips of spider plants?

Solution:

1. Cut off the dried areas with scissors.

2. Place it in a cool and ventilated place, such as a living room with north-south ventilation, or a north balcony with windows.

3. Spray water on the leaves of the spider plant and the surrounding ground every morning and evening to increase the air humidity.

4. Watering should be timely, about once every 3 to 5 days.

What should I do if the leaves of spider plant turn yellow?

Solution:

1. Cut off all the yellow leaves of the spider plant.

2. Think carefully about whether you have applied fertilizer recently. If you have, water the plants with clean water and let the excess fertilizer flow through the small holes at the bottom. Generally, watering 2 to 3 times will be enough.

3. If no fertilizer is applied, check whether the soil is very moist. Think back to your recent watering frequency. If you usually water it once every 1 to 3 days, then you must have watered it too much. Loosen the soil for the spider plant and place it in a place with good ventilation and light, such as a south balcony, to speed up the evaporation of water.

4. If you haven't watered it for 1 to 2 weeks, it is definitely lacking water. Just water it thoroughly until you see water flowing out from the small holes at the bottom.

5. Then check the environment of the spider plant. It may also be caused by poor lighting. Dark places like the bathroom or open-air exposure to the sun can cause the leaves of the spider plant to turn yellow.

Chlorophytum is more suitable to be placed in places with good diffuse light, such as living rooms, or balconies separated by glass, etc.

What should I do if my spider plant wilts?

1. The most appropriate way to treat the wilting of spider plants is to shave their heads, and then the spider plants will grow healthy leaves again.

When shaving, start from about 3-4cm from the surface of the potting soil and cut off all the leaves above until it looks like the one in the picture below.

2. After shaving, place the spider plant in a cooler place indoors for maintenance, away from direct sunlight, and keep the soil moist. If it was previously raised outdoors, it is best to bring it indoors during this period.

3. Wait for a while and new buds will grow. When it grows vigorously, you can let the spider plant gradually see the light, for example, slowly move it from the living room to the balcony.

What should I do if the golden and silver edges of the spider plant fade?

reason:

Because there is too little light, the golden-edged or silver-edged spider plants cannot use photosynthesis to produce more nutrients, so the original golden edges or silver edges will turn green to increase the area available for photosynthesis.

Another reason is that there is too much nitrogen fertilizer in the fertilizer, which can also cause the leaves of spider plants to turn yellow.

Solution:

1. You can let the spider plant bask in the sun for 1 to 2 hours in the morning or evening.

2. When applying fertilizer, choose phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, such as fully decomposed rice water, fish intestine water, water for washing milk bottles, wood ash, etc.

What should I do if the spider plant doesn’t grow?

1. The root system is not well developed

Some small divisions have not grown well in their root systems after being transplanted, so the spider plant will first grow roots, so it looks like it has not grown at all. At this time, it should be placed in a cool place to take root. Once the roots are well grown, the spider plant will slowly grow up.

2. Apply fertilizer

Chlorophytum comosum likes fertilizer very much. If it is not supplemented with enough fertilizer, it will easily fail to grow.

Apply compound organic liquid fertilizer to spider plants once every 8-10 days. Note that lace varieties of spider plants such as golden heart and golden edge should use less nitrogen fertilizer. Please refer to the above item for what distance to use.

You can choose to buy fertilizers, or you can choose organic fertilizers such as egg shells, bone meal, bean dregs, etc. that you make yourself. They need to be fully fermented, and then the upper clear liquid can be diluted with water for watering.

What should I do if the spider plant’s roots are rotten?

1. Remove the spider plant with rotten roots from the pot and clean the soil around the roots.

2. Cut off all the rotten roots of the spider plant, leaving only the white healthy roots. Then soak the wound in carbendazim solution for disinfection and then let it dry.

3. Put the spider plant back into the pot and mix the soil with humus and sand in the ratio of 5:1 or 5:2. But please note that before putting it back into the pot, put a layer of expanded clay or broken tiles at the bottom of the pot to avoid water accumulation.

4. Of course, if the roots of the spider plant are all rotten, you can directly use the new small spider plants on the creeping stems to re-root them.

5. Cut off the small buds on the creeping stems and soak the roots in water. They will take root in about 10 days.

6. When the root system grows stronger, you can transplant it. If you don’t want to transplant it, you can also grow it in water directly.
