When the Chlorophytum is cultivated, it can be cultivated in muddy flowerpot, plastic basin, porcelain basin and pottery basin. If you want to do hanging cultivation, you should choose flowerpots with hooks. The size of the flowerpot should be selected according to the growth condition of Chlorophytum. Generally, the flowerpot should be slightly larger than the plant to provide the growth space for Chlorophytum.
Chlorophytum has strong adaptability to all kinds of soil and is easy to cultivate. Fertile sandy loam, humus, peat or fine sandy soil can be used as potting soil, and a certain amount of base fertilizer can be applied before planting.
Diaolan is usually replaced once every 2-3 years in March every year.
Diaolan likes semi shade environment and is afraid of direct sunlight. When the sun is strong in summer and autumn, strong light will cause the leaves to wither and even the whole plant to die. Therefore, we should pay attention to shade in summer, put the Chlorophytum in a cool and ventilated place, and keep the environmental humidity. But in winter, let Chlorophytum receive some direct sunlight properly.
Diaolan likes warm climate and can't stand cold and hot summer. Its most suitable growth temperature is 15-25 ℃, and winter temperature can't be lower than 5 ℃. In summer, we need to do a good job in heatstroke prevention, while in winter, when the temperature is lower than 5-7 ℃, we should pay attention to cold prevention and heat preservation.
Diaolan likes the humid environment, so we should keep the basin soil moist. In summer, water should be sufficient, and spray water on the branches and leaves every evening to keep the air moist. In winter, when the temperature is below 5 ℃, water less, and do not over wet the basin soil, or the leaves will turn yellow easily. Normal humidity should be kept at ordinary times, neither dry nor too wet.
In the peak season of spring and autumn, Chlorophytum should be applied with thin liquid fertilizer once a half month, mainly organic fertilizer. During high temperature in summer and dormancy in winter, topdressing should be stopped. The varieties of flowers and leaves should be applied less nitrogen, otherwise the mottling on the leaves will become lighter, which will affect the ornamental effect.
Chlorophytum can be propagated by cutting, splitting and sowing. Cuttage Propagation and branch propagation can be carried out at any time from spring to autumn, and sowing propagation is mainly carried out in March every year.
In the maintenance of Chlorophytum, attention should be paid to pruning at ordinary times. Yellow leaves should be cut at any time. Old roots, rotten roots and redundant fibrous roots can be cut in combination with basin changing. The old leaves of Chlorophytum can be pruned in the first and middle of May every year.
The cultivation of Chlorophytum is not easy to cause diseases and insect pests. However, there will be root rot and root rot caused by stagnant water and poor ventilation in the basin soil, as well as pests such as scale insects, aphids, whiteflies, mites and so on. At this time, it is necessary to spray chemicals in time for prevention and control.
The Chlorophytum is resistant to high temperature and hot sun. If the sun is strong, the Chlorophytum leaves are easy to be burned and need to be shaded in summer. The family can place the Chlorophytum in the bright indoor view. In summer, water supply should be strengthened, and water should be sprinkled frequently to increase air humidity.
Chlorophytum is not cold resistant, and it can survive the winter safely when the room temperature is kept above 5 ℃. When the temperature is low in winter, the Chlorophytum should be placed in full sunlight, and the watering should be less, so that the basin soil is slightly biased, and no fertilizer is applied.
