Chlorophytum is easy to grow, but the leaves of Chlorophytum are soft and easy to break. How to solve it?

As people's quality of life improves, more and more people are raising flowers and plants at home, and spider plants are the most common. So is spider plant easy to keep alive? How to solve the problem of spider plant leaves becoming soft and easy to break? The following editor will explain them one by one, hoping to help you.

Is Chlorophytum easy to grow?

Although Chlorophytum is very common, I think it is a very good small green plant. Because it is easy to reproduce, easy to survive, easy to care for, heat-resistant, cold-resistant, waterlogged, drought-resistant, sunny, shade-tolerant, and can grow in soil or water. It can grow with a little fertilizer and water, and will bloom with a little sunshine. It is a very lovable little jade.

What should I do if the leaves of the spider plant break easily?

1. Do not water continuously, control the water occasionally until the leaves are dry and slightly curled in the middle. Then water thoroughly again. This way the leaves will grow tough, will not break, and will be stronger and thicker.

2. Do not place it in a dark corner or a place with insufficient light for a long time, otherwise its leaves will grow too long, be tender and easy to break. If it is exposed to the sun in spring, it will grow more luxuriantly and produce more ears.

3. If you haven't changed the pot for two years, change it once in spring and replace it with new fertile soil. This will be more conducive to its growth.

Why are the leaves of Chlorophytum easily broken?

1. Overnutrition

This is a very easy reason for the leaves to break easily, especially when excessive nitrogen fertilizer is applied. The leaves will grow too long and too fast, and the skeleton will not be able to support them easily, so they will break easily. During the maintenance of the spider plant, trim the leaves appropriately and do not apply a lot of fertilizer and water, which will easily cause the leaves to be too long and soft, and easily break.

2. Lack of light

It is obvious that although spider plants like semi-shady environments, they cannot be placed in the shade for a long time, as this will cause the leaves to droop and become lifeless. Since the leaves do not have photosynthesis, the structure of the leaves is unstable and there is too little pigment, which can easily cause the leaves to break.

3. Growing lushly without dividing into pots

This is also a common reason. I remember a netizen had never repotted his spider plant for 10 years. It was difficult to water it, and the leaves almost covered the pot. However, the leaves were white and lifeless, and would break if touched by hand. After it was recommended to repot it, it soon returned to normal.
