Goldfish Chlorophytum Maintenance Precautions

Precautions for the maintenance of goldfish spider plant

Precautions for the maintenance of goldfish spider plant. As a common herb in life, goldfish spider plant not only has high ornamental value, but also can be placed at home. It can effectively purify the air, but many novices don’t know how to care for it. Now I will share the care precautions for goldfish spider plants. Precautions for the maintenance of goldfish spider plant 1

If you want to keep goldfish spider plant well, regular pruning is the key. Cut off those overlapping, mildewed, sun-burned or color-degraded leaves to facilitate the ventilation of goldfish spider plant. , the roots breathe. Humidity is also the most critical part, and it is also the basis for raising goldfish spider plants. Pay special attention to it in summer and winter, especially in hot summer. Soil with good air permeability can increase the frequency of watering, and more watering means more watering. The humidity increases and the soil is kept moist without water accumulation. This is the guarantee for the goldfish spider plant to spend the summer safely.

Reduce watering frequency in winter and get as much sun as possible. Hang the goldfish spider plant in a sunny place.

Next let’s talk about the soil. The fleshy root system of goldfish spider plant is relatively developed. After a period of maintenance, it often spreads all over the top, bottom and around the pot, so add humus soil or nutrient soil to the pot soil.

In spring and autumn, remember to repot and repot the goldfish spider plant and replace the nutrient soil. The original peat should continue to be used. In theory, the new roots of the goldfish spider plant should not be exposed to the soil. Just add enough fertilizer, such as chicken manure, cake fertilizer, or bean dregs. It is best to add some bone meal. If conditions are not met, you can buy bags of synthetic base fertilizer in the market. A bag is only about 2 yuan. This kind of basic fertilizer is convenient, fast and effective, and has relatively complete ingredients.

In addition, it is necessary to spray the goldfish spider plant from time to time. Some people say that you cannot spray water on the goldfish spider plant leaves. Through cultivation, I found that the goldfish spider plant leaves can actually spray water. At the same time, every time You can also use the opportunity of watering to clean the leaves, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone, but be careful not to accumulate water in the pot. Frequent cleaning of the leaves of the goldfish spider plant will make the texture clearer, and the color will be dark green due to the effect of scattered light, which is more attractive. Goldfish Chlorophytum Maintenance Precautions 2

1. How to prune Goldfish Chlorophytum

Goldfish Chlorophytum is a plant that grows relatively quickly. Only by pruning it properly can the branches of Goldfish Chlorophytum not be absorbed. Excessive nutrients are absorbed, which affects the flowering of the plant, because only when it blooms will it become more ornamental. Otherwise, it will just look like an ordinary plant, just like an ordinary spider plant.

Therefore, it is best for flower lovers to regularly prune the goldfish spider plant. Just cut off all the excess branches, and then remove the seedlings at the top of the plant. This can also effectively restrict the goldfish. Spider plants are very tall, so if you grow them at home, they won't be incompatible with the home environment.

2. How to prune the goldfish spider plant

In order to make the goldfish spider plant have more branches and grow more plump and beautiful, we need to carry out some necessary treatments during its growth period. For example, you can Topping, topping, bud wiping and other methods are used to artificially control its growth shape. This time is generally not fixed, and we can handle it when we need to control its height and length.

At the same time, in order to maintain the healthy growth of the plant as much as possible, we need to clean up some diseased branches and leaves in time. This needs to be cut as needed, so use scissors to cut off every branch of the goldfish spider plant. At the top 1/3 of the branch, what needs to be noted here is that we must deal with the leaves at the cut in time to facilitate the growth of new shoots.

3. Precautions for pruning goldfish spider plants

The time of pruning must be controlled well, not too early. Too early will affect the growth of the root system and lead to weak seedlings. You must wait until the branches It is not too late to prune the branches and leaves when they grow larger and thicker. After each pruning, the goldfish spider plant needs to be placed in a sunny place to prevent the new branches and leaves from growing blindly.

And the number of toppings should be determined according to the growth of the Chlorophytum, but all topping actions should be stopped before the Chlorophytum blooms. Goldfish Chlorophytum blooms multiple times in a year, and the intervals between flowering periods are also different, so you must observe more in your daily life before topping.

To cultivate goldfish spider plants, fertile and loose mixed soil should be selected as the cultivation substrate. It requires a large amount of water. On the premise of ensuring that water logging does not occur, the watering frequency should be adjusted according to seasonal changes. Receive moisture in a bright and sufficient light environment. Move the goldfish spider plant indoors as soon as possible before winter and stabilize the room temperature above 5°C.

1. Growth soil

Goldfish spider plants like to grow and develop in loose, fertile, mixed soil with high air permeability. Peat soil, perlite, and vermiculite are mixed into the soil and humus nutrients are used as base fertilizer to improve soil fertility. After high-temperature sterilization, the soil can be placed in pot soil for cultivation.

2. Adequate watering

Goldfish Chlorophytum has a relatively large water demand. Excessive watering can easily lead to waterlogging in the soil, causing the roots to become rotten. Generally speaking, watering should be done once every 2 to 3 days in spring and autumn, and once in the morning and evening in summer. On weekdays, plants need to be sprayed with water mist to increase humidity. In winter, water once a week.

3. Sufficient light

If you want the goldfish spider plant to grow stronger, you must allow the goldfish spider plant to receive sufficient light. The sunlight in summer is too strong, so it needs to be properly shaded to prevent the goldfish spider plant from getting sunburned. In the remaining three seasons, it can receive moisture under full sun and direct sunlight, allowing for sufficient and healthy photosynthesis.

4. Cold protection and heat preservation

The suitable temperature environment for the growth of goldfish spider plant is between 10 and 30 degrees Celsius. It has a certain tolerance to high temperatures, but its tolerance to low temperatures is relatively poor. Before winter begins, the goldfish spider plant needs to be moved indoors for maintenance as soon as possible, and the appropriate temperature environment should be stabilized above 5°C to avoid freezing damage.

Goldfish spider plants can be propagated by two cutting methods: top branches and stem cuttings. However, the survival rate of stem cuttings is relatively high. You need to pick 10 to 15cm long branches and cut the lower end. Use potassium permanganate for disinfection, and use leaf mold soil, vermiculite, and river sand to prepare soil suitable for growth. After the branches are inserted into the soil, the temperature needs to be controlled at about 20°C.

1. Picking branches

There are two methods for propagating goldfish spider plants by cuttings. They are divided into top branch cuttings and stem cuttings. Top branch cuttings need to be obtained from goldfish. For Chlorophytum lateral branches, strong branches need to be picked, while for stem-cutting cuttings, branches need to be picked from the root part. It is usually best to use stem-cutting cuttings, which have a higher survival rate.

2. Branch processing

Regarding the question of how to cut the goldfish spider plant, you cannot blindly pick the branches every time. You need to choose branches that have grown for more than one year and pick 10 A length of ~15cm is sufficient. Leave 3 to 4 leaves on the upper end of the branch, and soak the lower end in potassium permanganate solution for about 3 minutes. This can prevent the wound from rotting.

3. Prepare the soil

When propagating goldfish spider plants by cuttings, in addition to picking strong branches, you must also prepare a soil suitable for growth and make potted plants for cutting propagation. The best substrate is generally mixed leaf humus soil, vermiculite, and river sand in a ratio of 5:3:2, which is conducive to the rooting and germination of branches.

4. Propagation by cuttings

First insert the processed goldfish spider plant branches into the soil suitable for growth, then cover them with plastic film, and control the temperature at about 20°C. And wait for the soil to dry up, then water it every 3 days, put it under scattered light and maintain it carefully. Wait for about two months and it will take root and sprout.
