Chlorophytum is an evergreen herb with clustered cylindrical fleshy fibrous roots and short rhizomes; leaves are narrow and soft strips, apex acuminate, about 30 cm long and 1-2 cm wide; mature plants grow out of stems to form pedicels, slender and curved, extending from leaf axils beyond leaves, 30-60 cm long, apex grows small plants with aerial roots; flowers are small, white, perianth 2 in 6, stamens 6; fruits are sharply triangular; seeds are flat or saucer-shaped; Flowering generally in spring, summer, winter, indoor can also flower.

Second, how can the spider orchid be raised to be more vigorous? Introduction to breeding methods and precautions

If you want to keep the orchid thriving, you must master the soil, moisture, light, fertilizer, temperature and other factors in the breeding process. Therefore, we should pay attention to the following breeding methods and precautions:

1, flowerpot: according to the size of the plant to choose the appropriate flowerpot, generally choose clay flowerpot, plastic pot, porcelain pot, pottery pot cultivation.

2, soil: we want to let the spider plant grow prosperous, then the cultivation soil must choose to contain rich humus, and the spider plant has strong adaptability to the soil, fertile sandy loam, humus soil, peat soil, or fine sand soil can be used for potting soil, and a certain amount of base fertilizer is applied before planting.

3, light and temperature: spider orchid likes warm and humid, semi-cloudy environment; growth temperature is 15℃-25℃, not lower than 5℃ can safely overwinter. Summer should do a good job of heatstroke prevention and cooling, winter should pay attention to cold insulation; summer should pay attention to shade not direct sunlight, otherwise it is most likely to cause leaf tip scorch, should be placed in a cool and ventilated place, and pay attention to maintaining environmental humidity; spring can block 50% sunlight, or placed in a semi-shady place cultivation; autumn can be appropriately illuminated.

4. Watering: The spider plant likes a humid environment. It should be watered more during the production period to keep the pot soil moist, but it should not accumulate water. In summer watering should be sufficient, spray water on branches and leaves every evening to keep the air moist; winter temperature below 5℃, less watering, pot soil should not be too wet, otherwise the leaves will be easy to yellow; usually to maintain normal humidity, watering time to be flexible control, plants are generally dry should not be wet, do 'do not dry not water, water is poured through'.

Fertilization: In the spring and autumn growth season, organic fertilizer should be applied every 15 days or so. During high temperature in summer and dormancy in winter, topdressing should be stopped.

6, pruning: hanging orchid cultivation usually more pruning, at any time to cut off yellow leaves, every year in mid-May can be pruned old leaves.

7, pest control: spider orchid sometimes due to pot water, poor ventilation caused by root rot, and scale insects, aphids, whiteflies, mites and other pests harm, then should be timely spraying control.

3. What about yellow leaves?

The yellow leaves of spider orchid are caused by many reasons, specifically the following reasons:

1. Excessive fertilization: Although the spider plant likes fertilizer, it cannot be excessive, which will lead to fertilizer that the spider plant cannot absorb, and the remaining fertilizer will burn the root system of the spider plant, resulting in yellowing of the leaves.

Rescue method: immediately stop fertilization, irrigate clean water to wash away fertilizer, or turn over the pot to change soil again, follow-up cultivation needs to pay attention to thin fertilizer and apply fertilizer corresponding to the effect.

2, improper watering: hanging orchid likes a humid environment, too much watering will lead to ponding, roots can not breathe or long-term watering impervious, resulting in the root of hanging orchid water loss, resulting in yellow leaves.

Rescue method: watering too much to loosen soil and control moisture in time, depending on the dry summer watering, each time to fully irrigate, every evening also need to spray water on the branches and leaves, winter to water less.

3, temperature discomfort: the growth temperature of spider orchid can not be lower than 5℃, resulting in yellow leaves.

Rescue method: give appropriate temperature to spider orchid, the suitable temperature for growth is 15℃-25℃, and stop growing above 30℃ and enter dormancy period.

4. Insufficient nutrition: If the spider plant does not change the pot soil for a long time, it will make the nutrients in the soil become less, so that the spider plant does not get the nutrients needed for growth, resulting in yellowing of the leaves.

Rescue method: replace the pot soil, replace the appropriate soil for pot culture.

5, too much light: spider orchid can not be exposed to the sun, which will lead to the reduction of chlorophyll in the leaves of spider orchid, resulting in yellow leaves.

Rescue method: placed in the shade of cultivation, summer should pay attention to shade can not direct sunlight.

4. Can the spider plant be placed in the bedroom?

The spider plant can be placed in the bedroom. Many people worry about the release of carbon dioxide at night, in fact, the release of carbon dioxide can be ignored, do not worry, but put one or two pots to help relax mood, keep indoor air fresh. However, it is not suitable for long-term placement in the bedroom. After all, the spider also needs light. Usually, the spider can be placed in a place with good light to slow down, which will help the healthy growth of the spider.

Conclusion: Through the introduction of this article, I think everyone also knows the cultivation methods and precautions of hanging orchids. As long as you master the correct watering method, properly fertilize and give sufficient sunshine, hanging orchids will be raised vigorously.
