First, avoid direct sunlight
Especially when the temperature is high, during hot summers, and when the air is dry, direct sunlight combined with low humidity can cause the leaf tips to dry up and the leaves to turn yellow. Although Chlorophytum comosum enjoys sunlight, it should not be placed in direct sunlight during the hot season.
It can be placed in a shaded area of the balcony, on the inner side of the window sill, or in a place with scattered light, or under other potted plants and trees on the terrace, where it is shielded from intense direct sunlight.
In this way, it will remain in good condition throughout the summer, without dried leaf tips or yellow leaves, staying green and eye-catching with lush foliage. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to sun protection in the summer, which can ensure that every leaf is perfect and flawless.
Second, fertile potting soil
Poor and compacted potting soil is one of the reasons why Chlorophytum comosum does not grow well and is prone to dried leaf tips and yellow leaves. Especially when planted with only sand or ordinary garden soil without sufficient humus and organic fertilizer, poor-quality soil or overly compacted soil can cause Chlorophytum comosum to grow poorly, with sparse leaves and prone to yellowing and dried leaf tips.
