In addition to the all-green leaves, the common cultivars of spider plants also include golden-edged or silvery-white golden-edged spider plants and silver-edged spider plants. These varieties are elegant and unique, with great ornamental value, and are one of the common flowers in home furnishings.

Spider plants can be cultivated on easily fertile, well-drained sandy soils. In order to make the stems and leaves lush, it is necessary to repot and change the soil in March and April every year, combined with pruning, to remove blackened and excess roots. After repotting, place the potted plants in a cool place.

When the plants have regained growth, hang the pots on balconies, corridors and indoor places with fine lead wires. Spider plants like a semi-shady environment, the temperature is 20 to 25 degrees Celsius when the growth is good, and pay attention to proper light and ventilation, in spring and autumn can be placed on sunny windowsills, balconies. 6 In early September, the weather is hot, and if the balcony is exposed to direct sunlight, the leaves will be whitish and scorched, and if they are left indoors with low light for a long time, the leaves will grow.

Therefore, it is more suitable to place spider plants under ventilated corridors or balconies. The requirements for fertilizer are not strict, and it is enough to apply 20 rotted soybean cake fertilizer water or human feces and urine about once every two weeks. If you find a dead leaf in the lower part, you can cut it off at any time.

In winter, it should be watered at noon, and the temperature of the water should be close to the air temperature, otherwise, it is easy to get frostbite.

The leaves should be washed frequently in summer, so that it can photosynthesize better and grow better.

2. Illumination. 3. Temperature.

The temperature in winter is relatively low, and it is generally necessary to keep the temperature above 10, and only when the temperature is suitable for it can it safely overwinter and grow better. When the temperature is relatively high in summer, appropriate cooling measures can be taken, and if the environment is well ventilated, the cooling can be ignored.

4. Fertilization. For Phnom Penh spider plants to grow better, fertilization is essential. In the growing period, a thin fertilizer can be applied once in 10-15 days, and the frequency of fertilization should not be too frequent to avoid fertilizer damage. Of course, it is not possible to go without fertilization for a long time, and the leaf color will become lighter due to insufficient nutrients.

The key to raising Phnom Penh spider plant is not to apply excessive nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise the line spots on the leaves will become inconspicuous, that is, it will become only green and lose its golden color.

Phnom Penh spider plant likes semi-shady environment, if the light is too strong or insufficient at the place, the leaves are easy to turn pale green or yellow-green, lack of vitality, lose due ornamental value, and even wither and die; If direct sunlight and dry air, it is most likely to cause spider plant scorching, so it should be placed in a cool and ventilated place, but it is not enough to put it in a cool environment, and attention should be paid to maintaining environmental humidity.

At present, in addition to pure green leaves, there are three kinds of horticultural varieties of spider plant: large-leaved spider plant, golden-hearted spider plant and Phnom Penh spider plant. The leaf margins of the first two are green, while the middle of the leaf is yellowish-white; On the other hand, the Phnom Penh spider plant has yellowish-white stripes on both sides of the edges of the green leaves. Among them, the large-leaved spider plant has a larger plant type, wider leaves, and soft leaf color, which belongs to an elegant indoor foliage plant.

Spider plants like semi-shady environments. Spring and autumn should avoid strong direct sunlight, the summer sun is particularly strong, can only see some oblique light in the morning and evening, 50%-70% of the sun needs to be shaded during the day, otherwise the leaf tips will dry up, especially the flowering and leaf varieties, more afraid of strong sunlight, Phnom Penh spider plant will grow more beautiful in weak light, yellow Phnom Penh is more obvious, and the leaves are brighter. However, in winter, it should be given more sunlight to keep the leaves soft and green.

Home potted spider plants should be placed in front of the south window, otherwise the leaves will lose their luster or even wilt. Spider plants can be propagated by cuttings, branching, sowing and other methods. The repotting of spider plants can be repotted in spring as needed.

Propagation by cuttings and ramets can be carried out at any time from spring to autumn. Spider plants have strong adaptability, high survival rate, and are generally easy to reproduce. When cuttings, as long as the stolons with new shoots are inserted into the soil for 5 10 cm, about a week can take root, about 20 days can be transplanted on the pot, watered through the water and put in the shade for maintenance.

When dividing, the spider plant plant can be lifted out of the pot, the old soil and rotten roots can be removed, and the old roots are cut open, so that there are three stems left on the divided plants, and then transplanted and cultivated respectively. You can also cut the clusters of stems and leaves on the stolons of the spider plant (in fact, it is a new plant larvae, with leaves on it and aerial roots below), and plant it directly in a pot for cultivation.

Seed propagation of spider plants can be carried out in March every year. Because its seed particles are not large, the covering soil on the top should not be thick after sowing the seeds, generally 0 5 cm can be. At a temperature of 15, the seeds can germinate in about 2 weeks, and then transplant and cultivate after the seedlings are formed.

"Its maintenance method is very simple, there is almost no requirement for soil, but it can give good water performance, fertile soil will grow more vigorously, and you can prepare nutrient soil by yourself. It is drought tolerant, but consumes a lot of water during the growing season, so it should be watered frequently, but avoid stagnant water. It is best to give it a temperature of 15-25 degrees at ordinary times, it is not cold-tolerant, and the temperature should be controlled in winter.

In addition, it likes light, but is afraid of strong light, so pay more attention to the light, and block it in time when it is strong, and do not expose it to the sun. ”
