The cultivation method and cultivation method of silver-edged spider plant

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: 20 to 30 degrees is more suitable. In addition, the silver-edged spider plant is not very cold-resistant. Based on its habit, it is best to place it in a greenhouse or indoors during the winter, and not in a place that is too cold. In addition, you need to avoid wind.

2. Light: Chlorophytum comosum likes light, but don't let too strong light shine on it. Generally speaking, it should be placed in a shaded place in summer. In other seasons, it can be placed in a location with good diffuse light, and generally no shading is required. If you are indoors, then generally no shade is needed.

3. Watering: Chlorophytum comosum likes moisture, so the substrate must be kept moist in any season and not too dry. Otherwise, its growth rate will be seriously affected. Moreover, in dry and very hot weather, it is necessary to spray a little water.

4. Fertilization: Silver-edged spider plant does not require too much fertilizer, generally once every half a month is enough. The amount does not need to be too much, and it needs to be diluted in advance.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: It can be propagated by division. When using this method, the first step is to choose a strong plant that is as large as possible. You can remove it from the pot and then divide it into three or four parts from the roots, but not too many. Then, prepare different flower pots, fill them with soil, and plant them separately.

2. Repotting: The best time to repot is spring, and it can be done at the same time as breeding. It is best to change it once a year to ensure the quality of the soil. If you don't change it, you also need to loosen the soil and don't let the soil clump too seriously. In addition, when repotting, you can also cut off the dead leaves and rotten roots.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: There may be "anthracnose", which can harm all parts of the plant, so timely prevention is needed. After it happens, you need to use solutions such as thiophanate-methyl immediately. If the condition is not particularly serious, it can basically be cured after two or three uses.

2. Pests: "Aphids" and "scale insects" are quite common and can be brushed off with a brush or wiped off with a rag. However, if there are large numbers of them, they must be treated with pesticides.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: Chlorophytum comosum is non-toxic, and it has a particularly strong ability to absorb toxic gases.

2. Can it be raised at home? It is very suitable. It is both ornamental and can purify the air.
