Watering: Chlorophytum is a fleshy root. It has a strong ability to keep water. Even if it doesn't water for 10 and a half days, it won't die. Watering every day may make it rotten! Usually water once every 5 or 6 days. Chlorophytum like humid environment, every morning and evening spray water once, can prevent dry blade.
Light: the Chlorophytum likes the semi overcast environment. It's better to have scattered light. You can put the Chlorophytum at the window of the living room. Chlorophytum had better be put together with other flowers and plants, so the air humidity is high, and it is not easy to dry the yellow leaves.
Fertilizer: fertilizer is essential for Chlorophytum to grow well. Once a month or so pouring thin cake fertilizer water, or compound fertilizer particles buried in the soil can be. Pay attention not to let the compound fertilizer particles touch the root system of Chlorophytum
Time to change basin: the growth of Chlorophytum is relatively fast, and it will change basin once in about 2-3 years. If you don't change the basin, the nutrients in the original basin will be consumed, and the growth of Chlorophytum will also be affected.
To change basin:
1. Take off the basin: after stopping watering for a period of time, carefully take the Chlorophytum out of the basin.
2. Root repair: cut off all old roots, withered roots and residual roots.
3. Base fertilizer application: when changing pots, you can bury some base fertilizer in the bottom of the new flowerpot, such as slow-release fertilizer, chicken manure and other organic fertilizer.
4. Put the hanging orchid in a cool and ventilated place after putting it into the basin again. After the hanging orchid comes slowly, it can be cured normally.
Time of branching: when Chlorophytum grows vigorously, it will branch out and grow into Chlorophytum. We can use these Chlorophytum to branch.
Steps of ramet:
1. Find the newly born small Chlorophytum and cut it.
2. Choose a flowerpot with large permeable hole, put newspaper and tile on the bottom of the flowerpot to cover the permeable hole, and put a layer of ceramsite on the bottom to make a drainage layer.
3. Bury the small Chlorophytum in the loose and fertile soil, do not need to be buried too deep, 1-2cm, and water it thoroughly. Will plant the small Chlorophytum in a cool and ventilated place, after about a week can carry on the normal maintenance.
Treatment method of slight rotten roots: slight rotten roots of Chlorophytum, usually with withered leaves and yellow leaves. If there is a slight rotten root phenomenon in Chlorophytum, it is likely to be the cause of over watering. At this time, you should reduce the frequency of watering, and often take out the flowers to bask in the sun.
Treatment method of serious rotten root: if the rotten root of Chlorophytum is serious, it is necessary to take off the basin first, cut off the rotten root with a sharp knife that has been detoxified, and then smear the rest with rooting agent, replace with new soil, and it will grow a new root soon..
