How to grow Chlorophytum comosum

Spring and Autumn Maintenance

Spring maintenance

Spring is the peak growth period of Chlorophytum comosum. During the growth period of Chlorophytum comosum, attention should be paid to keeping the soil and air moist.

To grow Chlorophytum comosum, avoid having the soil too dry; keep the soil in the pot moist and water it sufficiently in spring. When watering, the water temperature should not be too low and there should be no stagnant water in the flowerpot. You can apply well-rotted thin liquid fertilizer or special fertilizer for foliage plants once every half month.

Chlorophytum comosum can be repotted in the spring of each year, and can be propagated by division in combination with repotting. It can also be propagated by cuttings during the vigorous growth period in spring, or by using branches cut during spring pruning for cuttings.

Autumn maintenance

Autumn is also the peak growth period of Chlorophytum comosum, and its maintenance is somewhat similar to that of Chlorophytum comosum in spring.

In autumn, the thousand-leaf spider plant also needs to be watered sufficiently to keep the soil in the pot moist. You can use water close to the air temperature to spray the branches and leaves to prevent the leaves from drying out.

In autumn, Chlorophytum comosum can be fertilized once every half a month. When the temperature is too low, you need to maintain the temperature of the Chlorophytum comosum and can keep it indoors.

The time for cuttings should avoid the high temperatures in summer and the cold seasons in winter. Keep the soil and air moist after cuttings to make it easy for rooting to take place.

Summer and winter maintenance

Summer maintenance

Chlorophytum comosum prefers a warm and humid climate. The suitable growth temperature is between 20-24℃. If the temperature is too high, it will stop growing and the leaves will turn yellow. The temperature is high in summer, so pay attention to ventilation and cooling to ensure the normal growth of Chlorophytum comosum.

The growth of Chlorophytum comosum requires sufficient sunlight. Insufficient light will cause the leaves of Chlorophytum comosum to turn yellow. However, when the sunlight is strong, proper shading is needed to prevent the plant from being burned by the scorching sun.

The high temperature in summer is not suitable for cuttings of Chlorophytum comosum.

Winter maintenance

The temperature in winter is low, which is not suitable for the growth of Chlorophytum comosum. To maintain a high temperature, it can be cultivated indoors. The temperature for wintering should be around 10℃ and not lower than 5℃.

Chlorophytum comosum should be protected from frost and snow in winter, and watering should be reduced. When watering, follow the principle of watering thoroughly. It is best to water at noon, and the water temperature should be consistent with the air temperature. Stop applying fertilizer in winter.

When caring for Chlorophytum comosum in winter, pay attention to lighting and ensure that the Chlorophytum comosum is exposed to sufficient light.
