Cultivation techniques of goldfish spider plant

Pot soil

Goldfish spider plant is suitable for planting in a greenhouse, and the substrate used for planting is mostly good for root drainage and aeration. To prevent water leakage during watering, you can use a round, beautiful flowerpot for planting, cover the bottom of the pot with coarse grains and stones, and then add a small amount of mixed culture soil.

Colonization

In order to improve the survival rate, you must pay attention to the position of the flower branches when planting, which can enhance the ornamental value of the goldfish spider plant.

Select fresh branches with full root systems, plant them evenly in the culture soil, and fill the pot with soil before planting is completed. You can add suitable fertilizer to the potting soil, and when the branches grow, they will hang down around the pot.

When the potted flowers are in full bloom, each plant will have more than a dozen goldfish flowers. When new branches grow, you can pinch off the tips, which can make the plant shape more symmetrical and grow more beautiful.

Fertilizer

The golden jade spider plant has high requirements for water and needs to be watered appropriately in spring, summer and autumn, and the surrounding area needs to be watered frequently to maintain humidity. During the hot summer season, it is best to place the flower pot in a shallow tray of water. These measures can prevent leaves from falling due to dry air. Goldfish flowers should also be watered more before blooming in winter and spring, so that the flowers can bloom fully and the colors will be bright.

During the growth period of the goldfish spider plant, apply a thin organic fertilizer solution once every 1 to 2 weeks to make it grow vigorously; before flowering, phosphorus fertilizer should be added to make it produce more buds and flowers, enhancing its ornamental effect; do not fertilize when it is flowering, and pruned and shaped after the flowers fade, and apply more nitrogen-containing fertilizers.

Lighting and ventilation

Except for the winter when the goldfish spider plant needs sufficient sunlight, it needs more shade in other seasons. In spring, summer and autumn, 60% to 70% of the sunlight should be blocked, or it should be hung in an outdoor shade shed or in a cool, ventilated place under the shade of a big tree to receive more scattered light without direct sunlight.

Such an environment is very suitable for its growth. Before the goldfish plant blooms in winter, the light should be appropriately increased so that the flowers can bloom in abundance and with bright colors.

Reproduction method

Goldfish spider plant is propagated by cuttings. In spring and autumn, cut branches about 10 cm long and with 3 to 4 nodes as cuttings, and insert them in a planting bed with coarse sand as the substrate. Maintain a high humidity and a temperature of around 20°C so that they are easy to root and survive.
