Spider Plant Won't Trail? Water It with One All-Purpose Liquid and It Will Rapidly Send Out Runners
Spider plant, everyone is very familiar with it; the spider plant is a very common household green plant, and many flower lovers like to grow a few at home. There are many varieties of spider plants, the most common being the green-leaf spider plant, the golden-edged spider plant, the golden-hearted spider plant, and so on. Among household flowers, the spider plant is relatively easy to keep alive, and its vitality is quite tenacious. Keeping a spider plant alive is not difficult. Every flower lover who grows spider plants is thinking about their spider plant growing to fill the pot, with small spider plantlets forming a trailing, cascading look. A spider plant like that has very high ornamental value!
However, getting a spider plant to form a trailing, cascading shape is not as easy as just keeping it alive. We need some skillful operations. So, many spider plants have been grown for a long time yet still cannot form a trailing shape. Today we will share a very practical technique with everyone. This technique is very simple, but it is very effective for getting spider plants to trail!
Actually, the method is also very simple. We just need to add one kind of "all-purpose liquid" to the water every time we water, and with this operation continued, the spider plant will rapidly send out runners. In just 2 months, our great project of getting the spider plant to trail can be completed!
This "all-purpose liquid" is yogurt. Before using this yogurt, we need to do some processing. If we have expired yogurt, we first put the yogurt under the sun to bake, for about ten days, and then we let the yogurt fully ferment.
After ten days, we need to dilute the yogurt. The dilution ratio is 1:10. Then we just use this water when watering. We can also dip a cotton cloth in this water and wipe the leaves, or directly spray it on the leaves with a spray bottle. The leaves of the spider plant can also absorb the nutrients from the yogurt!
Yogurt contains quite abundant phosphorus and potassium elements, which are very beneficial to plant growth. Yogurt also contains quite a lot of yeast and other microorganisms. The activity of these microorganisms can also make our potting soil more suitable for plant growth! However, we must do the above operations. We cannot directly pour yogurt. Pouring yogurt directly will, because it is too sticky, cause the potting soil to harden, and because it is too thick, it will burn the roots. So the above steps must not be skipped!
Fellow flower lovers, do you all know this method?
