How to reproduce the purple leaf spider plant, how to breed the purple spider plant

Spider plants can be propagated by cuttings, branching, sowing and other methods.

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, it can take root in about a week, and it can be transplanted into a pot in about 20 days, and it can be watered thoroughly and placed in a shady place 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 after sowing the seeds should not be thick, generally centimeters. At a temperature of 15, the seeds can germinate in about 2 weeks, and then transplant and cultivate after the seedlings are formed.

Propagation by cuttings. Break a branch and insert it into the soil, it can be used in any season, and it is very lively.

Cultivating purple spider plant needs to control the temperature in the environment of 20, daily use of soft light, spring and autumn can be watered every 3 days, summer can be watered every 2 days, in addition, in order to maintain the aesthetics of the plant, it is also necessary to prune in time, the long and yellowed branches and leaves are pruned off.

1. Light temperature

Purple spider plant needs to be kept in a suitable temperature environment in the breeding process, the temperature is controlled at about 20 is the best, in the summer need to avoid exposure to the sun, otherwise the leaves of the purple spider plant will be yellow, in spring and autumn, only need to place the purple spider plant in a well-lit environment.

2. Watering appropriately

Purple spider plant likes to grow in a humid environment, in the spring and autumn season of vigorous growth can be watered every 3 days, the water evaporates relatively quickly in summer, at this time it is necessary to water every 2 days to start with, in winter it is necessary to reduce the number of watering, watering every half a month is the most appropriate.

3. Prune in time

In order to maintain the aesthetics of the plant type, it is necessary to prune off the excessively long branches in time, and the yellowing and diseased leaves are also pruned off together, so as to reduce the consumption of nutrients and promote the growth of the plant.

4. More slippery potting soil

Cultivating purple spider plant also needs to change the potting soil every other year, choose loose and fertile substrate cultivation, change the pot needs to prune the root system, soak it for about half an hour with carbenddazim, and then potted to reduce the production of pests and diseases.

Spider plants have the effect of purifying the air and can survive indoors or outdoors. The purple spider plant is also a type of spider plant because its leaves are purple, hence the name purple spider plant. Next, let's take a look at the cultivation method of purple spider plant.

01 Cultivation methods.

Purple spider plant can be cultivated in hydroponics, or in soil, it is recommended to use hydroponics if it is cultivated indoors, because it is relatively clean. If it is cultivated outdoors, soil culture is used.

02 Seeding method.

When cultivating purple spider plant, branching, cuttings and other methods can be used to breed purple spider plant, and the production capacity of purple spider plant is tenacious.

03 Temperature conditions.

Purple spider plants live at room temperature, and if the temperature is too low, it will cause frostbite, so it is necessary to take measures to protect against the cold in winter. If the temperature is too high, the leaves of the purple spider plant will become soft.

04 Lighting conditions.

Purple spider plant is a sun-loving plant, therefore, do not breed purple spider plant in a dark environment, proper light can make purple spider plant grow better.

Violet spider plant can be propagated by cuttings with branches, choose strong branches, prune into small branches of about ten centimeters, prune the upper leaves, each pot can be inserted about ten branches, after the root system is stable to adapt to the environment, it can be topped and pruned, and it can be maintained in a warm and humid semi-shaded environment.

1. Cuttings of branches

The violet spider plant propagation method is very simple, the survival rate of propagation with branch cuttings is very high, choose the growing strong branches when cuttings, prune into branchlets of about ten centimeters, prune the upper leaves, each pot can be inserted about ten branches, after the root system is stable and adapts to the environment, it can be topped and pruned, which can promote the germination of new branches.

2. Purple duck plantar grass

Violet spider plant is actually purple duck plant, which is a perennial herb of the genus Duck plantar in the family Duck plant, which is a monocot plant, while violet is a dicot plant, the leaves of purple duck plantar grass are purple, and the leaves of violet are green. Purple duck plantar grass has a high ornamental value and can be hung in front of a white wall as a decoration.

3. Light and temperature conditions

The optimal growth temperature of violet spider plant is about 25 degrees Celsius, the growth rate in spring and autumn is relatively fast, the temperature decreases after winter, the cold tolerance of violet spider plant is relatively poor, and it should be transferred to indoor maintenance before frost. Violet spider plants prefer a sunny environment, and the leaf color will be dull when the light is insufficient.

4. Growth environment

Violet spider plants are native to Mexico, South America, and are cultivated throughout our country. Purple duck plantar grass likes a warm and humid environment, cold tolerance is relatively poor, can not be exposed to the sun, and has a certain adaptability to drought, does not need to water too much, suitable for planting in a fertile and humid environment, appropriate water control.

Purple leaf spider plant In the seedling stage, it is necessary to carry out top pruning, and the young shoots of the top branches and leaves of the plant can be cut clean. This allows the side buds of the plant to germinate. During its growth period, it is also necessary to prune off dense branches and thin branches, so that it will have more ornamental value.

Pruning also needs to be done in rainy weather.

1. Pruning at the seedling stage

Purple leaf spider plant needs to be pruned when it is in the seedling stage, at this time it is generally topped and topped, and the young shoots of the top branches and leaves of the plant can be cut clean, which is done to remove the top advantage of the plant, so that its side buds germinate, and it can grow more lush through topping treatment.

2. Pruning during the growing season

Purple leaf spider plant also needs to be pruned during the growth period, at this time it is inevitable that there will be some dense branches, weak branches, etc., these branches and leaves are not conducive to the growth of the plant, but also compete for the growth space of the plant, timely pruning can increase the overall light transmittance of the plant, so that it will have more ornamental value.

3. Precautions

When pruning the purple leaf spider plant, it is necessary to avoid rainy weather, otherwise the plant is susceptible to infection, and it is best to use sterilized sharp scissors to prune. After that, it is also necessary to do a good maintenance management, it is best to keep the plant in a semi-shaded and ventilated environment for a period of time, so that it can resume growth faster.

1. Light temperature

Allowing the purple spider plant to grow in a suitable temperature environment is one of the cultivation methods and precautions of the purple spider plant. During maintenance, the temperature should be controlled at about 20 to avoid the temperature being too high or too low. It should also be placed in a bright place for half-day treatment, pay attention to avoid strong sunburn, and pay attention to sun protection and shade.

2. Watering appropriately

When maintaining the purple spider plant, we should also pay attention to providing a moist growth environment for it, which should be watered in time to keep the potting soil moist. But can not water too much, to avoid the stagnant water to soak the roots of the purple spider plant to cause poor growth, generally in spring and autumn 2 3 days watering once, in winter to reduce watering, keep the potting soil slightly dry.

3. Reasonable fertilization.

Too much fertilization will make the purple spider plant accumulate fertilizer and burn the roots, and too little fertilizer will lead to malnutrition of the purple spider plant, so it should be reasonably fertilized during maintenance. Usually apply a thin fertilizer solution in the growing period of about half a month, stop fertilizer in winter, fertilizer can not splash on the leaves, will make the leaves dry and wilt.

4. Prune in time.

When cultivating purple spider plants, it is also necessary to pay attention to timely pruning. The growth rate of the purple spider plant is very fast, and the excessively long and dense branches should be cut off in time to maintain the beautiful plant shape of the purple spider plant. When diseased branches and leaves are found, they should also be cut off in time to avoid bacterial infection and excess nutrient consumption.

5. Change the pot every year.

The roots of the purple spider plant need a loose and breathable environment to breathe, and it is necessary to pay attention to loosening the soil and repotting every year when breeding. Replace the soil with a new loose soil rich in organic matter, prune and disinfect the roots, and then replant it to make it grow better.

6. Pest control.

Doing a good job in the prevention and control of pests and diseases is also a point that needs to be paid attention to in breeding purple spider plants. The leaves of the purple spider plant are often eroded by insect pests, so it is necessary to expel the pests in time, spray insecticides to kill the pests, and spray the bactericidal solution to sterilize and prevent the growth of germs.
