Uncle Li grows spider plants without ever using flower fertilizer; he only waters them with "2 kinds of water," and the little spider plants "fill" the pot!

When it comes to spider plants, I believe flower lovers are all familiar with them. Most flower lovers keep a pot of spider plants at home. They can purify the air and are relatively easy to grow. However, some flower lovers still leave comments saying that their own spider plants look too ugly, getting sparser the more they grow, and they do not produce little spider plants either, asking Xiaohua what they should do. Here we will not talk about how flower lovers grow their spider plants. Xiaohua will first share the spider plants grown by flower lover Uncle Li, which grow especially well. Not only are the leaves green, but they are also very wide and large, and the little spider plants have filled the pot. Today we will share how Uncle Li grows his spider plants, hoping you can find the answer from it.

Our sharing topic today is:

Uncle Li grows spider plants without ever using flower fertilizer; he only waters them with "2 kinds of water," and the little spider plants "fill" the pot!

Water with a little earthworm castings water, and the potting soil will not compact; it also has nutrients and is especially good for the roots.

In the flower-growing world, earthworm castings are a magical tool for growing flowers. Uncle Li uses them to grow spider plants. Even without repotting, the potting soil does not compact, and it also has nutrients. Earthworm castings are called the "king of fertilizer."

So why is that?

The main reason is that during their growth process, earthworms mix the straw, weeds and other things they eat with soil and earthworm secretions, and only after decomposing and fermenting them inside their bodies do they excrete them. This becomes a granular organic decomposed fertilizer, rich in nutrients, able to promote plant growth, and especially suitable for growing spider plants.

The method of use is as follows:

Pick up earthworm castings or buy them online (convenient and not expensive). First put the earthworm castings in the sun to bake for about 10 days, then you can collect them for growing flowers.

They can be mixed into the potting soil to grow spider plants directly, but the simplest method is like Uncle Li's: when watering the spider plants, throw a few earthworm castings into the water, and after they dissolve into muddy water, water the spider plants directly with it. Use it 2-3 times a month, and it can make the potting soil loose, breathable and nutritious, and it will never compact again. It is especially good for the roots. After use, the little spider plants can fill the pot, and the leaves also grow wide and oily green.

Water with soybean water, and spider plants grow like crazy.

Spider plants are mainly foliage plants, so what they need is nitrogen fertilizer. Then let's water them with fermented soybean water. Soybeans mainly contain protein, and after fermentation it turns into a nutritious organic flower fertilizer mainly containing nitrogen. Spider plants especially like it.

The making method is also simple.

Just take an appropriate amount of soybeans, soak them in water for more than 10 hours, then put them in a pot and boil for about 30 minutes. After they cool, put the soybeans together with the water used to boil them into a plastic bottle, filling it to 8 parts full. Add a little insecticide, put on the lid, and place it in a warm, ventilated place to ferment. After more than 20 days, you can take the upper clear liquid to water spider plants. It needs to be mixed with 20-30 times clear water. Use it 2 times a month, and the spider plants can grow especially well.

If you want spider plants to grow well, other care is indispensable.

1. Light

Spider plants do not like strong light, and absolutely must not be exposed to direct sunlight, otherwise their leaves will turn yellow, growth will be slow, and there will be dead leaves and dry tips. So if you want spider plants to grow well, you can place them in a bright, ventilated spot with scattered light for care. In summer when temperatures are high, pay attention to shading.

2. Watering

Spider plants like a humid environment, but because spider plants have thick fleshy roots, you cannot water them too much. Just keep the potting soil moist. There must be no standing water in the pot, but we can often spray water on their leaves, so that they can grow well.
