Chlorophytum has the characteristics of all orchids. It likes warm and semi overcast environment, and does not require strict light. It likes the soil with loose and strong air permeability, especially when it is maintained indoors. Otherwise, it is easy to wither and die in summer due to rotten roots.

I. illumination

Chlorophytum is most suitable for indoor potting, like half shade. Although the temperature is not high in spring and autumn, direct sunlight should also be avoided. Some scattered light can make its leaves bright and shiny and grow better. In the hot summer, we need to do more shade treatment, and receive some scattered light in the morning and evening every day, or the tip of the leaf will be easily scorched. In winter, the sunshine is relatively mild, which can be placed in the nearby sunward area. Sufficient sunshine can make it spend the cold winter better.

II. Soil

Chlorophytum has strong adaptability to soil and is easy to feed. It likes loose, strong permeability of soil, indoor maintenance of soil permeability requirements are more stringent. In order to make it grow faster, you can choose some fertile humus soil, and a small amount of river sand, vermiculite to increase drainage, permeability. In the absence of ponding and hardening, its root system can be rooted deeper, and its nutrient absorption will be especially much.

III. water content

Chlorophytum is a kind of plant that likes humidity and has strong drought resistance. In spring and autumn, the soil should be kept moist, and water should be poured once every 3-5 days. It will grow better if it has enough water; it is hot in summer and evaporates fast, so it's better to water it once a day, and spray the branches and leaves in the evening to increase the humidity and achieve the purpose of cooling down; in winter, the amount of water should be reduced, and the soil can be slightly wet, and if the indoor temperature is lower than 3 degrees, it needs to keep the soil dry, with less water, so as to prevent the plants from freezing.

Four. Fertilization

You can sprinkle some base fertilizer before you go to the basin, so that the soil can have a lasting fertilizer effect. From the beginning of autumn, potassium fertilizer should be applied to Chlorophytum once a week, and nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer should be applied once a week. Be sure to apply fertilizer thinly, not too much at a time.
