When growing Chlorophytum comosum at home, we may find that a potted plant suddenly looks unattractive, especially since Chlorophytum comosum is a foliage plant. The flowering period is short, and the flowers are not as beautiful and pleasing to the eye as the leaves. Therefore, to care for Chlorophytum comosum well, it is essential to maintain perfect, lush green leaves.
The condition of Chlorophytum comosum is mainly judged by the leaves. If the leaves turn yellow or the leaf tips dry out, they look unattractive. There must be a reason for this. There are several causes, and we can avoid them and pay attention to some details during the maintenance process.
By doing so, you can make your Chlorophytum comosum grow robust and lush, filling the pot and transforming significantly in just a few months. Every leaf will be beautiful, green, and perfect, and it will also bloom, producing many hanging Chlorophytum comosum and creeping stems, becoming lush and visually appealing.
First, avoid direct sunlight
Especially during high temperatures, in hot summers, and when the air is dry, direct sunlight combined with low humidity can cause the leaf tips to dry out and the leaves to turn yellow. Although Chlorophytum comosum likes sunlight, it should not be placed in direct sunlight during the hot season.
You can place it in a shaded area on the balcony, on the inside of a windowsill, or in a place with scattered light, or under other potted plants or trees on the patio, where it is shielded from strong direct sunlight.
In this way, it will remain in good condition throughout the summer, without dry tips or yellow leaves, always green and visually appealing, with lush foliage. Therefore, it is important to protect it from the sun during the summer, which ensures that every leaf is perfect and flawless.
Second, fertile potting soil
Poor and compacted potting soil is the reason for Chlorophytum comosum's poor growth and tendency to have dry tips and yellow leaves, especially when planted in sand or ordinary garden soil without sufficient humus or organic fertilizer. Poor soil or compacted soil will cause Chlorophytum comosum to grow poorly, with sparse leaves and prone to yellowing and dry tips.
