Spider tree (Chlorophytum comosum) is sometimes also known as Luc trreng territorial. Arachnids form clusters of leaves resembling curved grass, and their common name is due to seedlings growing from suspended branches. The spider plant also has small white flowers on the long, curved branches. This is one of the many indoor plants that is easy to adapt and grow. The following article will guide you on how to take care of a spider plant.

Steps

  1. Plant the spider tree properly.
    • Use good quality bonsai soil instead of garden soil.
    • Replace a new larger pot each spring or divide the mother plant into several small plants and replant the new soil.

  2. Place the spider in a well-lit place.
    • Place the spider plant on the windowsill facing east, west, or north any time of the year.
    • Place the spider plant next to a south-facing window during the winter months or 30 cm east of a window in late spring and summer.
    • Provide a bright fluorescent lamp or other type of lamp for the spider.
    • Place the spider in a location with little or more shade if outdoors.

  3. Water the spider properly.
    • Use water at room temperature.
    • Use distilled or purified water if possible.
    • Allow the soil surface to dry before watering.
    • Water until the water drains from the bottom of the pot and immediately empty the tray with excess water.
  4. Fertilize the spider once a month in the spring and summer with a mix of bonsai fertilizer according to package printing instructions.

  5. Maintain the growing environment at a temperature of 4, 5º to 29.5ºC.
  6. Prune the spider plant using scissors to cut off the top of the leaf or all the withered leaves. advertisement

Advice

  • The spider plant is capable of filtering the seeds that cause air pollution. They were once grown in space to filter the air.
  • You can separate large arachnids by pulling or cutting the root tufts into sections, each with leaves to plant in the pot.
  • The spider plant has white tuberous roots that hold water and food for the plant.
  • Spider plants can be grown outdoors in the summer or in frost-free climates like "pointed leaf clusters" in pots, partially shaded plants, or as hanging pots.
  • Share the spider plant with your friends by pulling the seedlings out in a cup of water or planting them in moist soil and keeping the soil moist until they have new roots.
  • Spider plants come in many different colors. One type of green leaf is smooth and others have a white or cream border, a stripe in the center of the leaf or the side.
  • When propagating seedlings, you can use cotton balls or folded towels in a cup of water to keep the roots from submerging in the water. Attaching the seedling to the parent plant ensures that the seedling can use the nutrients from the mother plant for root development.

Warning

  • Spiders are poisonous to cats, although some other animals are fine if ingested. However, you should not let pets eat this plant, including birds.
