How to care for a newly bought golden edge spider plant
One, soil: It has low requirements for soil quality, as long as it is loose sandy soil, it can be mixed with some potting soil, river sand, and humus soil, making the base soil breathable, with good drainage and rich in nutrients from river sand and decomposed leaves. Usually, there is no need to divide the plant when you first bring it home.
Two, environment: When you bring it home, provide it with a comfortable environment, with better indoor ventilation. It can grow normally in a well-lit area. If you want it to grow faster, you can expose it to a moderate amount of sunlight, but be sure to avoid direct sunlight in the summer. The only requirement for temperature is that it should overwinter in temperatures above 10°C, and normal indoor temperatures can meet its temperature requirements at other times.
Three, watering: After arranging it at home, do not water it thoroughly the first time. It needs some time to recover its growth rate, and the water requirement is not high, just a little to keep it moist. Increase watering frequency during the growing season, water more in the summer to increase humidity, and reduce watering in the winter to prevent waterlogging and frostbite.
Four, fertilizing: There is no need to fertilize when you first bring it home. Once it has fully adapted, it is necessary to fertilize every two weeks during the growing season. If growth is slow, you can add an extra 20% of fertilizer each time. If fertilizing is not done properly, the leaves will lose their green color, and the leaf tips will turn yellow and dry. It is best to moderately apply a thin layer of fertilizer at the bottom when repotting, as a base fertilizer for the growing season.
