In autumn, you need to reduce the frequency of watering for Chlorophytum, every 2-3 days. The compound fertilizer with more nitrogen elements should be applied twice a month, but it should be diluted before application. In addition, if you want to propagate, you can also cut off the buds from the base of the plant at this time and cultivate them separately to form new plants.

1. Reduce watering

In summer, because the evaporation rate of water is relatively fast, the frequency of watering for Chlorophytum is also relatively high. But in autumn, because the evaporation rate of water slows down and the growth of plants is not particularly vigorous, it is necessary to slightly reduce the frequency of watering to prevent it from waterlogging. Specifically, you can water every 2 - 3 days.

2. Proper fertilization

After autumn, some flower fertilizer should be applied properly to support the growth of plants. But we should pay attention to that because it doesn't like fertilizer very much, so we must not apply concentrated fertilizer, nor fertilize it too often. Specifically, it is better to apply fertilizer twice a month. Flower fertilizer can choose compound fertilizer with more nitrogen elements.

3. Breeding

In autumn, many small plants grow at the stem base of the plant. At this time, they can be cut off, treated with rooting powder, and planted in a new flower soil with good permeability, and then placed in a place with soft light for slow maintenance. During this period, pay more attention to the condition of flower soil and timely pour some water to keep it in a slightly wet state. After they grow new roots, they can slowly increase the light. Soon, they will grow into new plants.
