Light: Chlorophytum Chiba needs enough sunlight during its growth. Temperature: the suitable growth temperature is 20-24 ℃. Moisture: adequate watering in spring and autumn, moist soil in the basin, frequent spray in summer to increase humidity, and gradual reduction of water in autumn. Fertilizer: thin liquid fertilizer shall be applied once every half a month in the growth season, and topdressing shall be stopped in winter.

Culture method

Light and temperature

Cymbidium philoxeroides likes semi shade environment, and needs sufficient sunshine in the process of growth. However, it should be noted that the light is too strong or insufficient, and the leaves are easy to fade and turn yellow. In summer, when the sun is strong, we should pay attention to shade, so as not to burn the plant. In winter, it is necessary to question how to keep the light of insects, so as to avoid the lack of light and the fading of leaf color.

Chlorophytum is fond of warm and humid climate, not cold resistant. The suitable growth temperature is 20-24 ℃. If the temperature is too high, the leaves are easy to turn yellow and dry. In summer, attention should be paid to cooling and ventilation. In winter, the temperature is low, so a certain overwintering temperature should be maintained, not lower than 5 ℃.

Water and fertilizer management

Chlorophytum can grow vigorously in spring and autumn, so water should be sufficient, and the basin soil should be kept moist, but not ponding. In summer, high temperature should be sprayed regularly to increase humidity. In autumn, water volume should be gradually reduced.

In the peak growing season, Chlorophytum Chiba can be applied with thin liquid fertilizer once a half month, and topdressing should be stopped in winter.

Pruning and changing Basin

The growth speed of chlorophylla is very fast. With the passage of time, the plant can grow vigorously. In order to maintain a good plant shape, it is necessary to often reshape, cut off the branches that affect the plant shape, keep the plant shape beautiful, and prune can also sprout many new branches to make the plant shape fuller.

Because of its fast growth, Chlorophytum is easy to grow in a full basin, and should be replaced every two years. The best time to change basin is spring. The basin soil should be sandy soil with rich humus, loose and fertile, and good drainage and permeability.
