How to divide the pots of Chlorophytum

How to divide the pot of Chlorophytum

first step

When dividing the spider plant into pots, wash off the soil at the roots with water, place it in a cool place to dry until you find that the fleshy roots become soft, then find a slightly wider gap between the leaves and cut it with scissors. Be careful not to damage other branches and leaves.

Step 2

After cutting the branches and leaves, gently knock the soil in the pot to loosen it, then take out the spider plant and remove the soil on the roots. At this time, you have to observe carefully. If there are several plants growing together, you have to gently separate the plants with your hands. If it is a large plant that is difficult to break apart with your hands, you need to cut it with a knife in order not to damage the plant.

Step 3

This method of dividing the pots is to first turn the pots upside down, then gently knock them to pour out all the soil and seedlings, and then gently break up and remove the soil clods;

Divide the plants into several clusters according to your preference. You can have one pot per cluster, or one pot per cluster, so that you can divide the pots.

Maintenance of Chlorophytum after Dividing the Pot

First, water the potted spider plants immediately. Just water a small amount to make the soil slightly wet, and then place them in a well-ventilated place for maintenance.

Secondly, pay attention to light. The plants are relatively thin after being divided into pots, so they can be placed in a sunny place to promote their absorption of sunlight and accumulation of nutrients, which helps their growth.

Finally, pay attention to heat preservation. Chlorophytum is not cold-resistant, so be careful not to face the air vent directly when ventilating to avoid frostbite;

Also pay attention to insulation work in low temperature seasons.
