Does the "spider plant" grow well
As a star plant that purifies indoor air, spider plants often trouble flower friends because of their yellow leaves and stems. The key to restoring the vitality of the spider plant is to improve the nutrient structure of the soil. This article will reveal the maintenance secrets of hanging orchids from the two dimensions of fertilization and pruning. Organic fertilizer improvement plan Soybean cake fertilizer deeply nourishes fermented soybean cake fertilizer contains 18% nitrogen and a variety of trace elements. 50g of cake fertilizer is buried in the edge of the pot soil every month to continuously release nutrients. Pay attention to avoid direct contact with the roots, and cooperate with watering to extend the fertilizer efficiency to 3 months. Tips for selecting animal manure worm manure contains 5% humic acid and has a neutral pH value, making it safer than chicken manure. It is recommended to mix earthworm manure with garden soil at a ratio of 1:3 and use it as base fertilizer when changing pots every season. Sheep dung needs to be exposed to the sun for 7 days to sterilize, and then buried shallowly in topsoil every month. The golden pruning time window of the plant pruning system is heavy pruning from the sting to the vernal equinox, and retaining 5 cm of stalks can stimulate the germination of dormant buds. The pruning shears disinfected with alcohol are chamfered at 45°, and the wounds are smeared with plant ash to prevent infection. In conjunction with the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, 7-10 new buds can be promoted. Daily maintenance points rotate the flowerpot 90° every week to ensure even lighting. When the air humidity is less than 40%, spray is needed to moisturize. When the leaf tips are found to be withered, the diseased leaves will be cut off immediately, and the roots will be irrigated with 800 times carbendazim solution to prevent fungal infection. The four-season maintenance rhythm maintains the growth temperature of 15-25℃ in spring and autumn, avoids noon strong light in summer, and maintains above 10℃ in winter. Following the principle of "applying thin fertilizer frequently", add liquid fertilizer twice a month during the growing period, and stop fertilizer and control water during the dormant period.
Through the three core strategies of organic fertilizer improvement, scientific pruning and seasonal management, combined with correct water and light control, we can not only solve the problem of yellow leaves of spider plants, but also achieve a three-fold annual increase. It is recommended to check the root condition every six months and replace the nutritious soil rich in humus in time so that the spider plant can continue to maintain its strong vitality.
