How to grow soil-grown spider plants in summer

1. Appropriate lighting

Chlorophytum needs appropriate light to grow, but considering that the light is relatively strong in summer, it is best not to place it in a place with direct sunlight. A south-facing balcony is not suitable for spider plants because the light is too strong and it can be stuffy. It can be placed in a place with appropriate amount of scattered light. If there is too strong light, be sure to provide shade or move to a backlit location.

2. Repotting

Repotting should be done in advance before the hottest time of summer. Replace with new soil. If the soil is still suitable at this time and does not need to be replaced, you can just loosen the soil.

3. Watering

Water evaporates quickly in summer, and spider plants themselves like moisture, so we need to ensure sufficient water. If you observe that the leaves are curling, it means that the spider plant needs water and should be replenished in time. Water thoroughly each time. In addition, spider plants also have requirements for air humidity. If the surrounding area is too dry, spray water. During the hottest times, this should be done twice a day to ensure the surrounding environment is suitable.

4. Prevention and control of pests and diseases

Because the temperature is high and the humidity is high in summer, it is easy for bacteria to breed and cause diseases. Some pests also reproduce very quickly and easily cause insect pests. Therefore, timely prevention is necessary and appropriate amount of pesticide should be used to spray leaves and other parts. Use pesticides or fungicides to treat it immediately after discovery.
