What kind of potted plants are better in the basement? Air improvement

Chlorophyte. Chlorophytum is one of the most traditional indoor hanging plants. Its leaves are slender and soft, and there are small plants on the little stems drawn from the axils of the leaves, which droop from the edge of the basin and stretch like flowers, and are evergreen all year round; Combining rigidity and softness, it looks like a crane spreading its wings and jumping, so it was called "Folding Crane Orchid" in ancient times. In short, its special shape constitutes a unique hanging landscape and three-dimensional aesthetic feeling, which can play a unique decorative effect.

Chlorophytum is not only an excellent indoor hanging leaf plant, but also a good indoor air purification flower. Chlorophytum has a strong function of absorbing toxic gases. Generally, L-2 pots of chlorophytum are raised indoors, and the toxic gases in the air can be completely absorbed, so chlorophytum is also called "green purifier".

Cultivation methods and matters needing attention of chlorophytum

First of all, light

When breeding, it needs to be placed in a semi-shady place, for fear of direct sunlight. Plants of Phnom Penh, Jinxin and other varieties will be degraded by flowers and leaves under strong light, so they should be kept indoors in an environment with bright light and no direct sunlight.

Second, the soil

The roots of chlorophytum are fleshy roots, so its drought tolerance is quite strong, and the selected soil needs the kind of loose loam with good ventilation and drainage.

Third, water.

When watering, you should master the principle, not not not watering, but watering thoroughly. Too frequent watering will cause water accumulation in the basin soil, make the leaves appear dry and sharp, and even yellow leaves appear.

Fourth, fertilization.

During the maintenance period, the demand for fertilizer is not too great, and it can be met by applying "Woye water-soluble fertilizer" every 10 ~ 15 days during the growth period.

Verb (short for verb) temperature

The optimum growth temperature of chlorophytum is between 15 and 35 degrees. Above 5 degrees, it can overwinter normally. If the temperature is too low, it will do harm to plants. For example, leaves below 5 degrees may be injured, and roots below 0 degrees may also be injured.

Sixth, change the pot

In the process of maintenance, pots should be changed once every one or two years, otherwise the root system will grow too large, resulting in the reduction of pot soil and nutrients can not meet its growth needs. It is more appropriate to change pots in early spring. Clear the garden soil, remove some dead and rotten old roots, and put them in the shade with new soil until it recovers.

Seven, matters needing attention

The surface should pay attention to direct sunlight and have enough air humidity. If the humidity is not enough, the phenomenon of dry tip will appear. More watering at this time will further aggravate the problem.
