The newly purchased Phnom Penh Chlorophytum has just been replaced and its environmental resistance is weak, so the ventilation, lighting and temperature conditions must be dealt with during maintenance. Ventilate it more, let it receive more scattered sunlight and keep it in a place above 10℃. Because it has not resumed growth at this time, its water demand is not high, so just pour a little water to keep it moist. You can also not fertilize at this time. After it has fully adapted to the environment, it needs to be fertilized every 2 weeks during the growing season.

1. Soil

It has low requirements on soil quality. As long as it is loose sandy soil, it can be mixed with some garden soil, river sand and leaf mold soil. This kind of planting soil will be breathable. It has good sex, strong drainage capacity and the soil contains humus from river sand and rotten leaves, which is also very rich in nutrients. There is generally no need to change the soil when you first buy it.

2. Environment

Just finished When you buy it back, you need to give it a comfortable environment with good indoor ventilation. It can grow normally as long as it is in a place with bright light. If you want it to grow faster, you can get more sun, but you must pay attention to avoid sun exposure in summer. The only requirement for temperature is to spend the winter at a temperature above 10°C. Normal room temperature at other times can meet its temperature needs.

3. Watering

In After placing it at home, don't water it thoroughly for the first time. It will take some time for it to resume its growth rate. The water requirement is not high, so just water it a little to keep it moist. During the growth period, the frequency of watering should be increased appropriately. In summer, you can spray more water to increase the humidity. In winter, pay attention to watering less to prevent water accumulation and freezing of roots and root rot.

4. Fertilization

There is no need to fertilize when you first buy it. After it fully adapts to the environment, it needs to be fertilized every 2 weeks during the growth period. If it grows slowly, you can add 20% more fertilizer each time. If not fertilized properly, the leaves will lose their bright green color and the tops of the leaves will turn yellow and dry. It is best to spread a thin layer of fertilizer at the bottom as a base fertilizer when changing pots, and as a fertilizer before the growth period.
