I have a pot of gold edged spider plant, half dead, how can I raise it properly

Maybe you have not changed the soil when you bought it, yes, the spider plant likes loose, fertile sandy soil, but if the soil is OK, now many flower farms for the convenience and economy of transportation, are used to replace the soil with some filling soil, so at the beginning when I bought it back a little better, not long after, after the nutrients in the filling soil are absorbed, the plant will dry up, and the filling soil is too loose, so that the roots of the plant are not easy to grasp, the whole pot of plants is still loose and shaken half dead, put the spider plant out of the pot, Remove some of the small roots, add new mud, and stabilize the soil a little, and it will grow beautifully!

It is not possible to use large pots for Phnom Penh spider plants, use small pots when the plants are small, and replace them with large pots when they are large.

The growth rate of Phnom Penh spider plant is very fast, and its root system is also relatively developed, so the pot used should not be too small, and a relatively large pot will be more conducive to its growth. However, the pot should not be too large, as it will not be able to supply enough nutrients to the plants. Generally speaking, the pot can be larger than the plant, and when the plant grows up, you can repot it in time, and replace it with a larger pot.

Morphological characteristics

The leaves of the Phnom Penh spider plant are broadly linear, tender green, born on short stems, and have hypertrophied, cylindrical fleshy roots. The racemes are 30-60 cm long, curved and drooping, with white florets.

As the name suggests, the edges of the Phnom Penh spider plant are golden yellow, which is very beautiful; It is very interesting to have several clusters of rooting plants formed by buds on the flower stems. It grows fast, is easy to cultivate, and can be cultivated and appreciated all year round in a brighter room.

Soil: Fertile, loose, well-drained sandy soils are best. Watering:

Keep the soil moist during the growing season, increase the frequency of watering in summer and water less in winter and rainy season. Sunlight: The light should be bright, and the sunlight should be shaded by strong sunlight.

Fertilization: Fertilization once every 2 weeks during the growing period can meet its growth. In addition, the temperature should be kept above 10 in winter, and ventilation should be paid attention to in summer.

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.
