It's an evergreen plant with roots and fleshy roots. Like to grow in a warm and humid place, it's better to be in a semi shaded environment without strong direct light. This kind of plant is not suitable for too cold climate, and its ability to resist cold is poor. Moreover, it needs to grow healthily on the soil with good drainage and very fertile sand. This kind of plant can be made into medicine, which has the functions of clearing away heat and detoxification, and can also stop coughing and dissolving thick phlegm.

1. Light

This kind of plant likes to stay in the half shade environment at ordinary times. It is sensitive to the light. Especially in the summer and autumn when the sun is strong, it can't be directly exposed to the strong light, otherwise it will cause yellow. In winter, it can be properly exposed to the sun. Generally speaking, we can put it in a cool and ventilated place, at the same time, we should pay attention to keep the humidity of the environment.

2. Temperature

This kind of plant usually likes to grow in a warm and humid place, and can't accept too cold climate or too hot temperature. The most suitable temperature for its growth is about 15 to 25 degrees, especially in winter, the temperature in the house can't be lower than 5 degrees. When the temperature is too high, pay attention not to let it be illuminated by the strong light, and have an environment to dredge the shade; when the temperature is low, let it touch the sun more, so that its leaf color will look good.

3. Moisture

This kind of plant likes water very much, but because its root is fleshy and has a strong ability of water storage, it also has a strong adaptability to the arid environment. But in the months from 3 to September, we needed a lot of water when we were growing vigorously, so we had to sprinkling water and spray regularly, so that it could increase its humidity and ensure that the soil in the basin should be completely moist. In winter, when it is in dormancy, we can see by naked eyes that when the soil in the basin is about 1 cm thick, it will be drenched again.

4. Fertilizer

This is a kind of plant that can tolerate fertilizer, but if the fertilizer and water are not enough, it will easily scorch and grow old, and the leaves will change, so it has no ornamental value at all. We can fertilize the Chlorophytum which has already grown small plants every half a month. If the growth state is better, no application is needed.

5. Attention

We should pay attention to not too much sun in summer and autumn.

Pay attention to cooling in summer and heat preservation in winter.
