Selection of cultivation flowerpots:
(1) flowerpot quality requirements: clay pots, plastic pots, porcelain pots and pottery pots can all be used for cultivation. If you want to do hanging cultivation, you should choose a flowerpot with a hook.
(2) flowerpot size: Chlorophytum can be planted in a pot, and the pot diameter is 14- 18 cm.
02
Selection of pot soil for cultivation;
It is planned to use 3 parts humus soil, 3 parts garden soil, 3 parts sandy soil and 1 part decomposed cake fertilizer (or livestock manure), or mix 4 parts humus soil, 3 parts garden soil (peat soil), 2 parts river sand and 1 part decomposed cake fertilizer.
Change pots in early spring from March to April every year. When changing pots, trim the excess fleshy roots slightly, plant them in a new pot and put them in the shade. After the plants resume their growth, they will be maintained and observed normally.
03
Aquaculture water method:
Chlorophytum likes humid environment, so it is necessary to maintain high air humidity and keep the basin soil moist during growth. However, due to the large amount of water stored in its fleshy roots, it has strong drought resistance and will not die if it is not watered for several days. Water adequately in summer, and spray water on branches and leaves every evening to keep the air moist. 65438+/kloc-moved indoors in early October and put it in the sun. When the temperature is high at noon every 5 ~ 7 days, spray the branches and leaves with clean water close to room temperature. But the soil in the basin should be dry.
04
Fertilization methods for aquaculture:
During the vigorous growth season in spring and autumn, apply 1 times diluted liquid fertilizer every 15 days, preferably fully decomposed cake fertilizer and water with the concentration of10% ~15%; Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer solutions can also be topdressing, and the concentration is 0.1%~ 0.3%; Top dressing should be stopped in summer high temperature and winter dormancy period. Less nitrogen fertilizer should be applied to the mosaic varieties, otherwise the white or yellow markings on the leaves will fade, which will affect the ornamental effect.
05
Lighting requirements for aquaculture:
Zhu Sun likes semi-cloudy environment and is afraid of direct sunlight, especially in the north. You need to block 50% ~ 70% sunlight in spring, summer and autumn, otherwise it will be easy to get sunburned and plant growth will be seriously bad. Especially mosaic varieties, are more afraid of strong sunlight. Mosaic varieties grow more brightly in low light, and the white and yellow parts are more prominent. The light is weak in winter, so it can be placed in a sunny place; Maintenance and management in cool and ventilated places in summer.
06
Propagation method of chlorophytum:
The propagation of chlorophytum is extremely easy, and it is usually divided into plants. From spring to autumn, the small plants on the flower stems can be cut and planted separately, or the old roots can be planted separately in early spring.
Except that the temperature in winter is too low to divide plants, it can be divided into plants in other seasons. Plants that have been potted for 2 ~ 3 years can be divided into pots when changing pots in spring, and watering should be stopped before dividing pots, so that the pot soil can be properly dried to facilitate the emergence of plants; After the plants are taken out of the pot, the old culture soil is removed, divided into several plants and planted in the pot respectively.
When propagating with seedlings with roots at the tips of flower stems, small clumps with roots at the tips of flower stems should be taken down, broken into small plants, and then planted in pots. But planting should not be too deep, which is not conducive to germination and slow growth.

Matters needing attention in aquaculture:
(1) After changing pots in spring, cultivate in semi-shade, and move to the sunny place after survival. Spring is the season of rapid growth of chlorophytum, so it is necessary to ensure sufficient water and fertilizer supply. When the temperature is not high, it can be cultivated in full light, and when the temperature rises, the light around noon can be covered. If the leaves are dull and light green during the growth period, urea 1000 times 1-2 times can be topdressing. If cultivated indoors, when the light is insufficient, the leaf color is easy to appear yellow-green, so it can be removed to increase the light.
(2) Chlorophytum is resistant to high temperature and scorching sun. If the sun is strong, the leaves of chlorophytum cymosum are easily sunburned, so it needs shade in summer. Families can put chlorophytum in a bright room to watch. In summer, water supply should be strengthened, and water should be sprinkled frequently to increase air humidity.
(3) After the temperature is cool in early autumn, the growth of chlorophytum grows faster, and the light should be appropriately increased in the morning and evening, topdressing and water supply should be paid attention to. Because of the dry climate in autumn, we should sprinkle more water to improve the air humidity. After the temperature drops in late autumn, we should pay attention to keep the indoor temperature above 5℃, and gradually move to a sunny place for cultivation to make the soil in the basin moist. When the temperature is high at noon, we should spray water on the leaves and surrounding areas several times.
(4) Chlorophytum is not cold-tolerant, and can safely overwinter at room temperature above 5℃. When the temperature is low in winter, cymes of chlorophytum cymosum should be placed in full light and watered less, so that the pot soil is slightly biased and no fertilizer is applied.
