How to care for Chlorophytum comosum in winter? Does it need pruning?

1. How to maintain in winter

1. Temperature: Its cold resistance is relatively poor. When the temperature drops in winter, it should be moved indoors in time and the temperature should be controlled. The minimum temperature must be above 5 degrees. If necessary, wrap it with film to keep warm and avoid frostbite.

2. Light: It is usually kept indoors in winter. It is recommended to place it on a balcony or windowsill and let it get more sun so that it can spend the winter safely. In addition, attention should be paid to ventilation. Keep windows open frequently and ventilate the room to avoid infection by pests and diseases.

3. Watering: In winter, its growth rate slows down, and it may even stop growing. It requires less water, so watering is not needed too frequently, and water should be controlled. When you find the soil in the pot is dry, water it appropriately, and do it during the high temperature at noon. This can reduce damage to the root system, reduce stimulation, and avoid frostbite.

2. Is pruning necessary in winter?

When caring for Chlorophytum comosum in winter, it needs to be pruned. At this time, it will enter a dormant stage and the plant will stop growing. Overlapping branches, diseased and insect-infested branches, thin and weak branches, parallel branches, aging branches, and leggy branches should all be cut off. This will not only save a lot of nutrients, but also be beneficial for wintering. It will also be beneficial to next year's growth and flowering, the plant shape will be fuller and the beauty will be improved.
