It is better to raise goldfish spider plants at a temperature of 10 to 28 degrees. The temperature should not be too low in winter. The cultivation soil should be breathable, nutritious and well-drained soil, preferably acidic. It is also necessary to provide it with appropriate light and shade it when the light is strong in summer and autumn. In addition to applying base fertilizer, top dressing should be done every half month during the growth period. In addition, there may be scale insects during its growth period, so they must be eliminated in time.
2. Soil
1. Temperature
The goldfish spider plant itself lives in the tropics, so it has relatively high temperature requirements and is not very cold-resistant. Generally speaking, it is most suitable to maintain a temperature between ten and twenty-eight degrees. It must be protected from cold in winter, otherwise it will suffer frost damage.
2. Soil
Because the plant has fleshy roots, it has relatively high soil requirements. In addition to the basic requirements such as breathability, nutrition, and drainage, it is also required to be acidic. Prepare leaf mold soil, garden soil, and river sand (perlite) in a ratio of four to three to two.
3. Light
Goldfish Chlorophytum has requirements for light, but it should not be too strong. There may be relatively strong light in summer and autumn, so try to avoid it. However, in winter, you need to provide as much light as possible to help the plants survive the winter.
4. Fertilizer
The first is the base fertilizer mixed into the soil during planting. These fertilizers have a great impact on subsequent growth. The base fertilizer can be organic fertilizer or slow-release fertilizer. There is also a need for top dressing during the growing season, mainly in spring and autumn, usually once every half month. Liquid fertilizer can be used, preferably with a lower concentration.
5. Precautions
In an environment with poor ventilation and dry air, scale insects and other insect pests may appear, so they must be prevented and controlled in time. While spraying pesticides, it is also necessary to increase ventilation and increase humidity appropriately. These measures can help eliminate pests.
