Cultivation Methods and Points for Attention of Lipstick Chlorophytum

It is better to use fleshy peat soil and granular soil, including volcanic stone, medical stone, green zeolite, diatomite, etc., and mix them at will. Usually, succulent seedlings (leaf cuttings) are planted with 50% peat soil and 50% granular soil to promote growth. Large succulent seedlings were planted with 30% peat soil and 70% granular soil to prevent excessive growth. The fleshy old pile is planted with 20% of peat soil and 80% of granular soil to control the shape.

1. Suitable soil

Soil is the most basic factor for breeding lipstick chlorophytum, which can provide loose, fertile and soft soil, and also need good drainage to prevent a large amount of water.It can be mixed with vermiculite, sand and peat soil, and it is required to be slightly acidic.

2. Suitable temperature

The temperature suitable for the growth of lipstick chlorophytum is about 15-25 degrees. I like the warmth more, but I don't like the continuous high temperature weather. I can't stand the cold in winter, so I need to move indoors as soon as possible.

3. Water and Fertilizer Management

Lipstick chlorophytum can not grow without watering and fertilization, in the period of vigorous growth, the soil in the pot should be kept moist, watering two or three times a week, to reduce watering in autumn and winter, and keep the pot soil dry in winter.Apply fertilizer regularly during the growth period to ensure the balance of fertilizer elements, and apply fertilizer in time before and after the flowering period, but pay attention to the concentration, and follow the principle of thin fertilizer application.

4. Reasonable visibility

Although lipstick chlorophytum likes half-shade growth environment, it needs sufficient sunshine in growth, especially in spring, autumn and winter, and strong sunshine in summer, which can be properly shaded.

5. Precautions

In the process of growth and maintenance, we should pay attention to proper pruning, do a good job of pinching and pruning, and prune the residual flowers in time after flowering.Maintain good ventilation at ordinary times to prevent and control the infection of pests and diseases.
