Sunshine: Chlorophytum and Pothos prefer a shady growth environment, and it would be better to cultivate them in a place with astigmatism. Watering: It likes a humid growth environment, and the soil needs to be kept slightly moist during daily maintenance. Temperature: Control it between 20-24℃. If the temperature is too low, timely measures need to be taken to keep it warm to prevent it from stopping its growth. Fertilizer: It needs to be fertilized during the growing season. When fertilizing, it should be mainly foliar fertilizer or liquid fertilizer.

1. Maintenance methods

1. Sunlight: Chlorophytum and Pothos are a relatively shade-loving plant. They can be kept in a dark place for a short period of time when growing. Pay attention when the sun is strong in summer. Cover it and place it in a semi-shady place.

2. Watering: Try to keep it moist when breeding. It likes a humid growth environment very much, and hydroponics is also possible. If it is soil culture, be careful not to accumulate water. Especially in winter, the amount of watering must be strictly controlled.

3. Temperature: It is a species that likes warm and humid environments For plants, the best breeding temperature is between 20-24°C. Pay attention to temperature control in winter and summer. Too high will cause it to have yellow leaves, too low will do the same and may even stop growing.

4. Fertilization: In spring and summer, it is the season of vigorous growth. At this time, enough fertilizer must be applied to it. In autumn and winter, its growth begins to slow down. At this time, mainly use foliar fertilizer or liquid fertilizer, and reduce the amount of fertilizer.

2. Breeding skills

1 . Pruning: Generally speaking, Chlorophytum and Pothos grow more casually. When pruning, you need to pay too much attention to the shape to ensure the quality of its growth. When its branches grow too long, you can cut the length beyond 20cm part was lost.

Yes, just properly control the water imbalance caused by it.

2. Diseases: Root rot and leaf spot are common diseases of Chlorophytum and Pothos. The reason is mostly caused by not paying attention to ventilation during normal breeding. Cut off the diseased leaves in time and spray carbendazim solution, and maintain ventilation in the breeding environment.

IV. Other issues

1 2. Can it be raised in the bedroom: For ornamental purposes, it can be raised anywhere, but one thing to note is that it consumes oxygen at night. If the bedroom space is small, it is better to open the window for ventilation or not to raise it. as well.
