3. Planting
After rooting, you can plant them. Put three or four young plants in a flower pot, and the soil in the pot needs to be fertile and loose, so that the plants will not be too dense.
4. Temperature
Plant maintenance also needs to pay attention to temperature. For Chlorophytum comosum that is growing, low temperature will inhibit growth or even cause the plant to die. Therefore, in winter, if the temperature is below 15°C, do not place it outside. Moving it indoors is a good choice.
5. Fertilization
Orange peels and peanut shells left over from meals can be thrown into the pot and decomposed into organic matter, which helps the plant grow. However, fertilization cannot be neglected. You still need to fertilize Chlorophytum comosum at intervals to supplement the nutrients needed for growth, so the plant can grow stronger.
6. Regular watering

Chlorophytum comosum loves water, and it can easily wither without enough water. Therefore, you must pay attention to the soil condition in the pot of Chlorophytum comosum. Generally, you should water it about once a week. Water thoroughly to make the soil fully saturated, and if the surroundings are too dry, you can spray some water on the leaves with a spray bottle.
