How to cultivate Chlorophytum capense? Latest planting method explained in detail
To cultivate Chlorophytum capense, you need to work on temperature control, light control, soil selection and watering control. Choose a loose, porous, fertile soil with strong drainage and air permeability, keep the temperature stable between 20-24 degrees Celsius, ensure sufficient scattered light, and water it by the principle of watering when dry and stopping when wet.
How to cultivate Chlorophytum capense
1. Soil
Before starting to cultivate Chlorophytum capense, we first need to prepare suitable soil. According to the plant's physiological habits, the soil should be loose, porous, and strong in drainage and air permeability, so we can use leaf mold, garden soil, sandy carbon soil, etc. mixed and blended to meet the needs of the plant's growth and development.
2. Light
Chlorophytum capense is a plant that relatively likes sufficient light, but at the same time this plant also has the characteristic of being intolerant of strong light, so when we provide light for it, it is best to provide sufficient scattered light, so that it is not directly exposed to direct light, and can grow and develop in a semi-shaded environment.
3. Temperature
Chlorophytum capense has the characteristic of being intolerant of low temperatures, and likes a relatively warm and humid climate, so when we cultivate this plant, we should try to keep the ambient temperature stable between 20-24 degrees Celsius, with the maximum not exceeding 30 degrees Celsius and the minimum not lower than 10 degrees Celsius, otherwise the plant's growth will stagnate, or even wither and die.
4. Watering
Among the precautions for cultivating Chlorophytum capense, watering is also an important part. This plant has relatively strong drought tolerance, but during the growth period from March to September, the water content it needs is relatively large, so we should water it frequently, and use spraying to ensure air humidity, so that the plant can grow with lush branches and leaves.
