Precise Pruning Techniques
Use scissors disinfected with alcohol, cut diagonally along the leaf veins, retaining 1/3 of the healthy tissue at the base. After treatment, wipe the leaf surface with diluted beer weekly, which can supplement nutrients and prevent fungal infections.
Optimization of Care Environment
Maintain an environment temperature of 18-25°C, use a mixture of pine needle soil and perlite (4:1) as the substrate, and apply decomposed soybean cake water monthly. Be especially careful to water slowly along the pot edge to avoid water accumulating in the leaf core.
Key Measures for Revitalizing Chlorophytum comosum
Root Activation Method
After pruning, remove the pot and inspect the roots, cutting off the brown decayed roots. Soak in an aspirin solution (1 tablet/500ml) for 30 minutes, then use a new coconut coir + vermiculite substrate, which can promote the rapid germination of new roots.
Light and Water Regulation
Place it near a north-facing window to receive scattered light. Use the immersion pot method for watering, maintaining air humidity above 60%. After the new leaves have unfolded, spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution every two weeks.

Stem Cutting to Promote Bud Growth Technique
Retain 3-5 bud nodes on the lignified main stem, and apply a healing agent to the cut. During the period of new bud growth, rotate the pot 45 degrees weekly, combined with EM bacteria solution root irrigation, to make the distribution of new branches more even.
Substrate Improvement Plan
Use a mixed substrate of ceramsite base + coarse sand + decomposed leaf soil (1:2:3), adding a small amount of bone meal. Apply slow-release fertilizer monthly in spring and autumn, and stop fertilizing and control water in summer.
Through systematic pruning and maintenance, these plants can usually sprout new buds within 2-3 weeks. The key is to grasp the pruning timing, address the issue before the yellowing area reaches 50%, and simultaneously adjust the environment to achieve perfect revitalization.
