Goldfish spider plant is much more beautiful than ordinary spider plant


The goldfish plant, also known as the goldfish flower and kangaroo spider plant, is a semi-woody flower with dark green and relatively thick leaves. Its flowers are orange-yellow. It has a small mouth and a big belly. It looks like a little goldfish and is very popular.

The goldfish spider plant comes from the tropics, likes shade and moisture, and is not prone to diseases and insects. Compared with roses and gardenias, it is simply too easy to grow. Now Huahua will introduce how to grow the goldfish spider plant~

Maintenance of goldfish spider plant


Flower Selection

Choose those goldfish plants with full and neat plant shapes, full and translucent leaves, stems that are not too long, and preferably with flower buds. Avoid buying goldfish plants in winter because the temperature is too low and they are easily frozen and do not bloom.

Pot soil

When repotting the goldfish plant, you can use a clay or ceramic pot that is 2 to 3 cm larger in diameter than the original pot.

The goldfish plant likes moisture and has high requirements for soil. It is generally mixed with peat soil, leaf mold and vermiculite in a ratio of 6:3:2.

Ordinary mountain soil and garden soil are not suitable for growing goldfish spider plants as they are easily compacted and have poor water and air permeability.

It is recommended to use some coarse river sand for paving, which can play a role in water retention and air permeability.

Watering

Goldfish Chlorophytum likes moisture, so you need to water it more often in spring, summer and autumn, usually at night, once every 2 to 3 days. Water it when the soil is dry, and control the frequency.

When the temperature is too high in summer, you can use the immersion pot method and place the flower pot in a shallow tray of water to retain moisture. Usually, remember to sprinkle water around the goldfish flower to maintain the air humidity.

When watering, be careful not to water the leaves. Light will be reflected through the water droplets and thin leaves may be sunburned.

illumination

Goldfish Chlorophytum likes shade and needs shade in the summer when there is too much sunlight. Generally, we just put it on the shady window.

When it is about to bloom in winter and spring, pay attention to increasing the light, otherwise it will not bloom. When it is growing too tall, you should also increase the light to inhibit its growth.

Fertilization

When preparing the soil, you can add a little chicken manure or cake fertilizer to increase the nutrition of the potting soil.

Normally, you can dilute the decomposed rice water 20 times and then apply it to the goldfish spider plant, watering it once about half a month.

Be careful not to apply fertilizer during flowering. Before flowering, you can spray some 0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution to promote flowering. After flowering, you can apply nitrogen fertilizer, mainly to nourish the leaves.

prune

If you want to grow the goldfish plant lush, you must pay attention to topping and pinching, otherwise it will easily cause it to grow too tall and not bloom.

Cut off the top branches of the goldfish plant to promote the growth of side branches.

Propagation of Chlorophytum comosum


It is very simple to propagate the goldfish plant by cuttings, you can just use a cut branch.

Cut a branch about 15 cm long, place it in a cool and ventilated place to dry, then insert it into river sand and water it thoroughly. It will take root in two weeks.

After rooting, transplant the goldfish plant seedlings into pots and use the soil mentioned above.

Then you can get another pot of cute little one~
