Cultivation Methods of Chlorophytum comosum
1. Appropriate lighting: Chlorophytum comosum prefers a semi-shaded environment and is sensitive to light. If exposed to direct sunlight in summer and autumn, the leaves will turn yellow and even the whole plant may die. Therefore, it should be kept away from strong sunlight and placed in a cool and well-ventilated area, with attention to maintaining environmental humidity. It can only receive some oblique sunlight in the morning and evening. In winter, since the sunlight is not strong, Chlorophytum comosum can be exposed to some direct sunlight.
2. Temperature: Chlorophytum comosum prefers a warm, humid, and semi-shaded environment and is adaptable. The minimum temperature for overwintering is about 10°C, and the room temperature during the growing period should be maintained at around 20°C.
3. It grows better in well-drained, loose, and fertile sandy soil.
4. Appropriate watering: Chlorophytum comosum prefers a humid environment and the potting soil should be kept moist. In summer, water should be abundant, and water should be sprayed on the branches and leaves in the morning and evening to prevent leaf drying. Indoor dust can affect growth and damage the freshness and beauty of the leaves, so the branches and leaves should be sprayed and cleaned regularly to maintain their bright and beautiful appearance. Dead and yellow leaves should be removed promptly, and the humidity should be maintained, neither too dry nor too wet.
5. Soil and pot replacement: To ensure lush growth, Chlorophytum comosum should be repotted and the soil replaced once a year around April. If the pot is deep and the base fertilizer is sufficient, it can be repotted every two years. When repotting, remove the plant from the pot, cut off the decayed and excess roots, replace it with new fertile soil rich in humus, and apply animal hoof or decomposed cake fertilizer as a base fertilizer.
6. Disease and pest control: Chlorophytum comosum is generally not prone to diseases and pests. If a disease occurs, it is usually due to accumulated water in the potting soil and poor ventilation, causing root rot. In this case, it should be sprayed with medicine for prevention and control.
Precautions for Raising Chlorophytum comosum
1. After repotting in spring, place it in a semi-shaded area for cultivation. Once it has survived, it can be moved to a sunny area. Spring is the season when Chlorophytum comosum grows faster, and adequate water and fertilizer should be ensured. When the temperature is not high, it can be cultivated in full sunlight, and the sunlight should be blocked during the middle of the day when the temperature rises. If the leaves become dull and light green during the growing period, urea at a concentration of 1000 times can be applied 1-2 times. If cultivated indoors with insufficient light, the leaves may turn yellow-green, and they can be moved outside to increase sunlight.
2. In summer, avoid direct sunlight and keep the potting soil moist. Water with liquid fertilizer every 15-20 days.
3. In dry summer and autumn weather, increase the humidity around the plant by spraying water.
4. Chlorophytum comosum is not cold-resistant, and it can safely overwinter if the room temperature is kept above 5°C. When the temperature is low in winter, Chlorophytum comosum should be placed in full sunlight, with less watering to keep the potting soil slightly dry and no fertilizer should be applied.
