Is the spider plant's leaf toxic? Grow it indoors this way and the leaves won't turn yellow

The spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) can be said to be a fairly common indoor flowering plant for us, and its dripping-green leaves can give people a very good visual experience. But are the leaves of the spider plant actually toxic? Many friends may not know much about this, so below the editor will walk everyone through the spider plant's toxicity, growing methods and the spider plant's price.

I. Is the spider plant's leaf toxic?

First, the editor tells everyone they can rest easy: the spider plant's leaves are not toxic. As things stand, no cases of poisoning from the spider plant's leaves have been found. Even so, the editor still advises everyone never to eat its leaves, to prevent dangerous things from happening.

II. The spider plant's growing methods and points to note

1. So can the spider plant actually be grown indoors? The answer is of course yes. Because the spider plant has requirements for light, we should best place it somewhere indoors with fairly good light, such as the living room and other such places. If it goes without light for a long time or is hit by strong direct light, the leaves easily turn yellow.

2. Besides being able to help us purify indoor air, the spider plant can also absorb large amounts of indoor carbon dioxide and other gases; the effect of photosynthesis is very good, and it can rely on its own action to release large amounts of oxygen for people to breathe. In a home that has just finished being renovated, the spider plant can also help people absorb gases such as formaldehyde.

3. But remember to water it regularly to ensure it has plenty of water; be careful not to let water accumulate, and when the weather is hot or the air is dry you need to spray the leaves with a water mist 1-2 times a day.

4. The spider plant grows rather slowly and its demand for fertilizer is relatively small; in the first 3 to 4 months after planting, because the root system is not well developed, generally watering once every half a month with a special water-soluble fertilizer for green plants is enough.

III. Spider plant price

The spider plant likes high temperatures and high humidity, growing in a half-day-shade environment. It does not demand much from sunlight; under indirect light it can keep its buds tender and its leaves green, and added to the fact that the spider plant's effect in absorbing formaldehyde is especially good, it is therefore especially suited to indoor cultivation and display, particularly in a new house. Generally, the price of a spider plant about 1 m in height is generally between 90-180 yuan.
