These 3 types of spider plants are the most beautiful to grow; stick a single stem in the soil and it will grow like crazy
These days more and more people are growing flowers, and flower varieties are becoming more and more diverse. Still, many flower growers just love growing the ordinary ones rather than chasing trends. When it comes to common household flowers, the spider plant counts as one. Spider plants are easy to grow and stay evergreen all year round, and many flower lovers like to keep them at home as foliage plants.
But green leaves can get boring eventually, and it would be even better to have some variety. There is now a dazzling array of spider plant varieties on the market, and today Huahua is here to recommend 3 of them. Not only do they look good, but you can also pull off a stem and stick it in the soil and it will grow like crazy, so you never have to worry about the number of plants at home again!
1. Curly spider plant
Just from the name curly spider plant you can guess that its leaves are curly. This kind of spider plant is no different from the ordinary spider plant in leaf color; the wonder of it is that its leaves are curly as if they have been "given a perm", and they are very pleasing to look at. The care method for curly spider plant is also very simple: water it regularly and give it a bit of sun every day and the stems will grow vigorously, and the little white aerial roots it produces can even be used for planting!
Planting method:
The first step is to pick off the aerial roots from the curly spider plant, then prepare a soil medium with good looseness and air permeability; the second step is to apply enough base fertilizer at the bottom of the soil, and the fertilizer can be decomposed organic fertilizer; the third step is to bury the small aerial roots into the soil. After planting is complete, make sure to water it every two or three days, and it will take about 10 days to take root and survive. After it survives, during care in summer pay attention to providing shade, while now in autumn and winter you can give it more sun to help it grow.
2. String of pearls
String of pearls first of all looks very different from ordinary spider plants; its leaves and stems are shaped like little pearls, which looks very endearing, and hanging it at home can also add quite a bit of decorative appeal. String of pearls can also be propagated by cuttings at a certain time, and you only need stems from the mother plant.
When choosing stems for cuttings of string of pearls, it is best to choose somewhat robust ones. In addition, we should prepare suitable cutting soil in advance, and then insert the stem into the soil as soon as it is cut, so the survival rate will be relatively high. When taking cuttings of string of pearls, note that it is enough to bury one third of the stem into the soil, otherwise burying too much may affect the subsequent rooting and sprouting.
3. Peony spider plant
Peony spider plant is a variety of spider plant that can bloom, with delicate pink little flowers set among the lush green leaves, giving a feeling of a touch of red among a sea of green. Flower lovers who are tired of green leaves can choose this peony spider plant to grow.
There are two ways to propagate peony spider plant by cuttings. One is to put the stems directly into water, which as water culture will root quite a bit faster. The other is soil culture, cutting them into loose, airy soil, and in about ten plus days they will take root and sprout, after which you just place them under indirect light and care for them carefully.
If any friends want to grow flowers but are worried about what variety to choose, you can consider these 3 kinds of spider plants; they are truly both easy to grow and pleasing to look at!
