How to transfer hydroponic Chlorophytum comosum to soil
The editor will share some small experiences on how to transfer hydroponic Chlorophytum comosum to soil and the precautions for planting Chlorophytum comosum. Please see the detailed introduction below.
Chlorophytum comosum is an especially easy-to-propagate potted green plant and is a common indoor ornamental leaf plant. It is simple to maintain, requiring only keeping the potting soil dry and wet, and ensuring the maintenance location has proper sunlight. Moreover, as long as it is kept in a warm environment all year round and avoids frost, it can maintain a vigorous growth state.
Propagating Chlorophytum comosum usually involves using its creeping branches. Chlorophytum comosum is not only beautiful because of the patterns on its leaves or its ability to hang over the pot, but also because it can continuously grow creeping branches. These branches can keep growing longer, and after they grow long enough, they can produce small creeping branches again, making it look particularly beautiful.
When these creeping branches of Chlorophytum comosum are properly maintained, they can produce small white flowers in the summer, which may not have great ornamental value but look fresh.
To propagate Chlorophytum comosum, its creeping branches are usually used for cutting propagation. When the creeping branches grow to about 5 centimeters in size, they can be cut directly and, after the wound is dried, can be soaked in clean water for hydroponic rooting.

If these branches are not cut in time and allowed to continue growing on the mother plant, the creeping branches can continuously grow aerial roots, which will become stronger and stronger. If the aerial roots are cut when they are fully grown, these branches can be directly planted in soil, turning into new potted plants.
Of course, there is also a more conservative propagation method. After these creeping branches of Chlorophytum comosum grow out, some small seedling trays and well-draining sandy soil can be prepared. The creeping branches are pressed slightly into the soil, with a little soil covering the bottom of the branches. Regular watering, keeping the potting soil dry and wet, after one or two months, the creeping branches can be cut off, and they can become independent small potted plants.
When propagating Chlorophytum comosum, these cut creeping branches are usually soaked in clean water, changing the water every two or three days. Place them by a well-ventilated and sunny window sill, maintaining a warm environment and a certain level of humidity. Of course, the leaves or leaf hearts of the branches should not be soaked in water, only allowing the base of the rootstock to slightly touch the water.
When the roots grow vigorously, it can be transplanted into the potting soil, which can ensure a higher survival rate. When Chlorophytum comosum is newly transplanted, do not rush to expose it to the sun. Keep the soil slightly moist and gradually expose it to light.
