Maintenance precautions of goldfish chlorophytum as a common herb in life, chlorophytum not only has high ornamental value, but also can effectively purify the air at home, but many novices don't know how to raise it. Now share the maintenance precautions of goldfish chlorophytum.
Maintenance precautions of goldfish chlorophytum 1 In order to raise goldfish chlorophytum, regular pruning is the key. Cutting off those overlapping, moldy, sunburned or degraded leaves is beneficial to the ventilation and root breathing of goldfish chlorophytum. Humidity is also the most critical link, and it is also the basis for raising goldfish chlorophytum. During the two seasons in Xia Dong, especially the hot summer, we should pay special attention to it. Soil with good air permeability can increase the frequency of watering, and more watering means increased humidity, keeping the soil moist without water accumulation, which is the guarantee for goldfish chlorophytum to spend the summer safely.
In winter, we should reduce the number of watering and get as much sunshine as possible. Hang the goldfish chlorophytum in a sunny place.
Next, let's talk about soil. The fleshy root system of goldfish chlorophytum is relatively developed. After a period of maintenance, it often spreads all over the basin, so humus soil or nutrient soil is added to the basin soil.
Remember to feed the goldfish chlorophytum in spring and autumn and replace the nutrient soil. The original peat will continue to be used. Theoretically, the new roots of goldfish chlorophytum should not be exposed to the soil. Fertilizers should be fully applied, including chicken manure, cake fertilizer and bean dregs. Better add some bone powder. If the conditions are not met, you can buy bagged synthetic base fertilizer in the market. A bag is about 2 yuan in size. This base fertilizer is convenient, quick and effective, and has complete ingredients.
In addition, it is necessary to spray the goldfish chlorophytum from time to time. Some people say that you can't spray water on the leaves of goldfish chlorophytum. Through cultivation, I found that the leaves of the goldfish chlorophytum can actually be sprayed with water, and at the same time, you can clean the leaves every time you borrow water, killing two birds with one stone, but be careful not to accumulate water in the basin. Frequently cleaning the leaves of goldfish chlorophytum will make the lines clearer and the color will be dark green due to scattered light, which is more attractive.
Matters needing attention in maintenance of goldfish chlorophytum II. How to trim goldfish chlorophytum?
Goldfish chlorophytum is a fast-growing plant. Only by proper pruning, the branches of the goldfish chlorophytum will not absorb too much nutrients, which will affect the flowering of the plant, because it will be more ornamental only after flowering, otherwise it will look like an ordinary plant, just like an ordinary chlorophytum.
Therefore, it is best for flower friends to trim the goldfish chlorophytum regularly, just cut off all the redundant branches and then remove the seedlings at the top of the plant, which can also effectively limit the height of the goldfish chlorophytum, so if it is kept at home, it will not be out of place with the family environment.
Second, the pruning method of goldfish chlorophytum
In order to make the goldfish chlorophytum more luxuriant, plump and beautiful, we need to carry out some necessary treatments during its growth period, such as artificially controlling its growth form by pinching, topping and smearing buds. This time is generally not fixed, and we can handle it when we need to control its height and length.
At the same time, in order to maintain the healthy growth of plants as much as possible, we need to clean up some diseased branches and leaves in time, which is what you see. Therefore, we use scissors to cut off the top third of each branch of the goldfish chlorophytum, and pay attention to the timely treatment of the cut leaves, which is conducive to the growth of new buds.
Three, goldfish chlorophytum pruning matters needing attention
Pruning time should be controlled well, not too early, which will affect the growth of root system and lead to the weak growth of seedlings. It's not too late to trim the branches and leaves until they grow bigger and thicker. After each pruning, the goldfish should be placed in a sunny place to prevent the blind growth of new branches and leaves.
The number of coring depends on the growth of the goldfish chlorophytum, but all coring behaviors should be stopped before the flowering period of the goldfish chlorophytum. Goldfish orchids bloom many times a year, and the interval between flowering and flowering is different, so we must observe more and pick them carefully in our daily life.
Fertile and loose mixed soil should be selected as the culture medium for cultivating goldfish chlorophytum, which requires a lot of water. Under the premise of ensuring no water accumulation, the watering times should be adjusted according to the seasonal changes. Moisturize in bright and sufficient light environment, move the goldfish chlorophytum indoors as soon as possible before winter, and keep the room temperature above 5℃.
1, planting soil
Goldfish chlorophytum likes to grow and develop in loose, fertile, breathable and high-quality mixed soil. The mixed humus nutrition of peat soil, perlite and vermiculite can be used as base fertilizer to improve soil fertility. After high-temperature disinfection and sterilization, the soil can be cultured in potted soil.
Step 2 water it thoroughly
Goldfish chlorophytum needs a lot of water. If you water too much, it is easy to accumulate water in the basin soil, leading to root rot. Generally speaking, water is watered once every 2-3 days in spring and autumn, once every morning and evening in summer, and water mist is sprayed on plants to increase humidity on weekdays. Water once a week in winter.
3. Adequate lighting
In order to make the goldfish chlorophytum grow stronger, it is necessary to let the goldfish chlorophytum receive sufficient light. The light is too strong in summer, so it needs to be properly shielded to prevent the goldfish chlorophytum from being sunburned. The other three seasons can be moistened under full sunlight and direct sunlight, and carry out full and healthy photosynthesis.
4. Keep cold
Goldfish chlorophytum grows in the suitable temperature environment of 10~30℃, and has certain tolerance to high temperature, but poor tolerance to low temperature. Before winter, the goldfish chlorophytum should be moved into the room for maintenance as soon as possible, and it should be kept at a suitable temperature above 5℃ to avoid freezing injury.
Goldfish chlorophytum can be propagated by topping cutting and stem cutting, but the survival rate of stem cutting is relatively high. It is necessary to pick branches with the length of 10 ~ 15 cm, disinfect the lower ends with potassium permanganate, prepare soil suitable for growth with humus, vermiculite and river sand, and control the temperature of the branches at about 20℃ after being inserted into the soil.
1, picking branches
There are two cutting propagation methods of goldfish chlorophytum, which are divided into top branch cutting and stem cutting. Top branch cutting needs to pick strong branches from the side branches of goldfish chlorophytum, and stem branch cutting needs to pick branches from the roots. Usually, it is best to use stem cuttings for cutting, and the survival rate is relatively high.
2. Branching therapy
For the problem of how to cut goldfish chlorophytum, don't blindly pick branches every time. If you want to choose branches that grow for more than one year, just pick the ones with the length of 10 ~ 15 cm. Leave 3 ~ 4 leaves at the upper end of the branch and soak the lower end in potassium permanganate solution for about 3 minutes to prevent the wound from rotting.
3. Soil preparation
When goldfish chlorophytum is used for cutting propagation, besides picking strong branches, it is also necessary to prepare a suitable soil as a potted substrate for cutting propagation. Generally, it is best to mix humus, vermiculite and river sand in a ratio of 5: 3: 2, which is beneficial to the rooting and germination of branches.
4. Cutting
First, insert the treated branches of goldfish chlorophytum into the soil suitable for growth, then cover the surrounding with plastic film, control the temperature at about 20℃, water the soil every three days after drying thoroughly, and then carefully maintain them under astigmatism, so that they can take root and sprout in about two months.
