The cultivation management of chlorophytum should be strengthened from watering, lighting, fertilization and pruning.
Lighting: It can be cultivated in a semi-cool environment. In summer, direct sunlight should be avoided and proper shading should be provided.
Temperature: when the temperature is 20-24℃, it grows fastest; Low temperature, slow growth or hibernation; When the temperature is lower than 5℃, chilling injury is easy to occur.
Watering: the growing environment is easy to keep moist, and the soil in the basin is often sprayed with water, which is conducive to rooting.
Pruning: cut off dead leaves and yellow leaves in time, and cut off some old leaves of chlorophytum in the growing season to promote the germination of new branches and enhance the appreciation.
Chlorophytum purpurea, like Chlorophytum purpurea, has conjoined branches and leaves on each node, but the petioles are purple, the leaves are thick and shiny, and they are drooping. They bloom from June to 10 every year, and the color is pink.
Chlorophytum purpurea has strong adaptability, drought tolerance and cold tolerance. It grows better in loose and fertile sandy soil with good drainage, which has nothing to do with the soil. Matters needing attention in daily maintenance are as follows:
Light and temperature
Chlorophytum purpurea has no strict requirements on light, and can grow in scattered light, and can be cultivated in semi-cloudy environment every day. Avoid direct sunlight in spring and autumn, and pay attention to shading when the sunshine is particularly strong in summer, otherwise the tip of the blade will be extremely dry. Flower friends in the north raise purple leaf chlorophytum indoors to let it see more sunshine, so it is best to put it in Nanyang terrace, otherwise the leaves will lose luster or even wither.
When the temperature is 20-24℃, the plant grows fastest, and when the room temperature is above 12℃ in winter, the plant can grow and bloom normally. Low temperature, slow growth or dormancy; When the temperature is lower than 5℃, chilling injury is easy to occur.
The combination of watering and spraying helps the soil in the basin to take root when it is wet.
The growth environment of chlorophytum purpurea is easy to keep moist, and the pot soil is often sprayed with water, which is conducive to rooting.
Adequate watering should be done in summer, and water should be sprayed on the branches and leaves at noon and night, which is beneficial to the bright leaves. It should be noted that when the indoor temperature is lower than 5℃ in winter, it is necessary to water less, keep the pot soil slightly dry, and promote root respiration and extension, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow easily.
Properly fertilized, purple is bright.
Purple night chlorophytum likes to be fat, and the color is purple with plenty of fertilizer and water, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow and lose ornamental value. In late spring and early autumn, liquid fertilizer can be applied once every half month. After self-made organic fertilizer is diluted, thin fertilizer is often applied to make flowers and leaves bright. When the indoor temperature is below 5℃ in winter, less chemical fertilizer should be applied, otherwise the roots will be easily burned.
Prune in time to keep the plant shape.
Cut off dead leaves and yellow leaves in time for daily maintenance to maintain the ornamental value of potted plants. In order to promote the germination of new branches, some old leaves of chlorophytum can be cut off during the growing season to promote its germination.
The root system of chlorophytum is quite developed, so the flowerpot should be replaced in time after breeding for a period of time to avoid root accumulation and cause yellowing and withering of chlorophytum leaves. The flowerpot should be trimmed in time, and the old roots and rotten roots should be cut off in time.
