How to grow golden heart spider plant

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Golden Heart Chlorophytum is suitable for growing in a warm environment. The temperature can usually be kept between 15 and 25 degrees. However, it should be noted that the high temperature in summer cannot exceed 30 degrees, otherwise it will become dehydrated and withered. It needs to be cooled in hot weather and cannot be placed directly outdoors. The low temperature in winter must also be controlled and cannot be lower than 10 degrees to avoid frostbite.

2. Watering: Golden Heart Chlorophytum has a relatively high demand for water. It needs to be watered frequently during the cultivation period, especially in summer. The roots absorb water very quickly. More watering can allow more branches. Water the plants every two days in spring to avoid waterlogging in winter.

3. Light: It will grow faster under warm and sufficient light, but be careful not to be exposed to strong light. If exposed to strong light, some irregular black spots will appear, so four hours of warm light a day will be enough.

4. Fertilization: When growing golden heart spider plants, you must insist on applying thin fertilizers frequently. You can apply thin compound fertilizers once every twenty days or so during the growth period. In winter, you should stop fertilizing or apply a small amount of fertilizer to prevent excessive growth.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Cuttings and divisions are the two most important methods. Cuttings can be carried out in any season. Simply pick some small plants that branch out from the plant and cut them into pots. Then pay attention to watering. This method has the highest survival rate. Division can be done when repotting. The mother plant can be divided into several parts and then replanted.

2. Pruning: Golden Heart Chlorophytum is a foliage ornamental plant. Although there is no need to prune its branches and leaves, the free-growing state is the most ornamental. However, during the cultivation period, some sunburned or withered leaves need to be cut off in time.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: Diseases of Golden Heart Chlorophytum are rare, but the leaves will turn yellow if there is insufficient wind and light. This can be alleviated by adjusting its cultivation location and environment.

2. Pests: Scale insects will occur. You can manually cut off the infested branches and leaves, or spray DDT solution several times continuously.
