Sunshine: Chlorophytum prefers a cool growing environment. It's better to breed it in the place of astigmatism. Watering: it likes the humid growing environment. It needs to keep the soil slightly moist when it is maintained. Temperature: 20-24 ℃. If the temperature is too low, measures should be taken to keep warm in time to prevent it from stopping growing. Fertilization: fertilizer should be applied to it in the growing season, mainly leaf fertilizer or liquid fertilizer.

I. maintenance method

1. Sunshine: Chlorophytum is a relatively shade loving plant, which can be kept out of sight for a short time when breeding. When the sun is strong in summer, it should be kept out of sight. It can be placed in half shade at ordinary times.

2. Watering: when breeding, try to keep it in a moist state. It likes the humid growing environment very much, and hydroponics is also OK. If it's soil culture, it's better not to generate water, especially in winter, more strictly control the amount of water.

3. Temperature: it is a plant that likes warm and humid environment. The best breeding temperature is between 20-24 ℃. Pay attention to the temperature control in winter and summer. Too high will lead to yellow leaves, too low will lead to even stop growing

4. Fertilization: in spring and summer, it's the season of vigorous growth. At this time, we need to apply enough fertilizer to it. In autumn and winter, its growth begins to slow down. At this time, it's mainly based on leaf fertilizer or liquid fertilizer, and we need to reduce the amount of fertilizer.

2. Cultivation techniques

1. Pruning: Generally speaking, the growth of Chlorophytum is more casual. Usually, when pruning, we need to pay too much attention to the problem of modeling to ensure its growth quality. When its branches grow too long, we can reduce the length of more than 20cm.

2. Change basin: the steps of changing basin of Chlorophytum are also very simple. First, take it out of the original soil, gently drain the soil at the root, and it doesn't matter to keep it at all. Also, pay attention to cut off the rotten and dried roots. It's better to soak it in carbendazim solution. After drying, you can directly put it in the basin. It's better to add some organic fertilizer to the new soil.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Yellow leaves: there are many reasons for the yellow leaves. It is more common that there are too many fertilizers, or the water is not enough, or the long-term accumulation of water may cause the formation of rotten roots. If the fertilizer burns the roots seriously, it is necessary to change the soil. It is OK to properly control the water imbalance.

2. Disease: common root rot and leaf spot disease of Chlorophytum. Most of the reasons are due to the lack of ventilation when breeding. Cut off the diseased leaves and spray carbendazim solution in time, and keep the ventilation of the breeding environment.

4. Other issues

1. Can you raise it in the bedroom? It's OK to raise it in any place as an ornamental at ordinary times, but we should pay attention to that it will consume oxygen at night. If the bedroom space is small, it's better to open a window for ventilation or not to raise it.

2. Toxicity: there is no problem in daily breeding, but its juice is slightly toxic. If it touches the skin, it will appear redness, swelling and itching. You need to pay more attention at ordinary times
