Temperature: Chlorophytum likes warm environment and has a certain ability to withstand high temperatures. During the high temperature period in summer, you only need to strengthen ventilation and it can basically survive the summer safely. However, its cold resistance is relatively poor. After winter, the temperature is low, especially in the northern region, so you must take anti-cold measures to avoid frostbite. 2. Light: Chlorophytum comosum is shade-tolerant but not sun-tolerant. During maintenance, it should be placed in semi-shade and occasionally receive scattered light. It should not be placed in direct light for a long time, otherwise it will easily get sunburned. Be especially careful with strong sunlight in the summer. 3. Watering: Chlorophytum likes a moist soil environment. If you find the soil is dry, water it in time. Control the amount of water when watering. The soil should be wet. There should be no accumulation of water, otherwise the roots will easily rot. 4. Fertilization: If the soil used during cultivation is rich in fertility, there is basically no need for topdressing during the growth period. However, if the soil used is poor and more nutrients are consumed during the growing season, in order to promote vigorous growth, it is best to apply fertilizer two or three times. It will only grow vigorously if there is sufficient nutrients. |
