As people's quality of life improves, more and more people like to grow some flowers and plants at home, especially spider plants, which are deeply loved by people. However, when growing spider plants, many people have the problem of black leaf tips. So is it normal for the tips of spider plants to be black? How to remedy the black tips of spider plants? Let's take a look.

Is it normal for the tips of spider plant leaves to turn black?

1. Too much water in the potting soil will cause root rot. Pay attention to proper watering. If you water too much or too frequently, or if the soil is loose and has poor air permeability, it may cause root rot. If the roots are rotten, they will not be able to absorb water and nutrients, which will cause the leaves to not absorb nutrients. The leaves will turn black due to lack of nutrients.

2. This phenomenon can also be caused by the high temperature in summer and the lack of shade. Chlorophytum does not like high temperatures and prefers a semi-shaded environment. If it is shaded because the temperature is too high, the tips of the leaves will easily turn black.

3. Failure to repot for too long may also cause this phenomenon. If you do not repot the spider plant for a long time, it will grow faster and its pot will be filled with roots. Without enough space, it will not be able to continue to grow well, which will cause it to die and wither, and the surface will show that the tip of the spider plant will turn black.

How to remedy the black tip of the spider plant's leaves

1. Exposure to sunlight. If the light in summer and autumn is particularly strong and the spider plant is often placed under the sun, the tips of its leaves may be sunburned. At this time, you only need to put it in a place with scattered light and sheltered from the sun, maintain it for a period of time, or cut off the blackened leaves.

2. Applying too much fertilizer or using raw fertilizer. In autumn and winter when the temperature is lower, you do not need to apply fertilizer. Applying too much fertilizer is also a burden and may cause black leaf tips or leaf and root rot. Normally, apply fertilizer in small amounts each time and use fully decomposed organic fertilizer.

3. Poor ventilation. If you place the spider plant potted plant indoors in the living room, study, or bedroom for several months, the lighting and ventilation in these places are not very good. Without fresh air and sunlight, the leaves of the spider plant will turn yellow and black, and its growth state will become very poor. You only need to change the placement position and place it in a ventilated and bright place, and it will regain its vitality.

Chlorophytum cannot lack water. If it lacks water, its leaves will droop and turn white, and will no longer look green. Therefore, you must pay attention to watering it in time to ensure that the Chlorophytum can drink enough water so that it can grow well.

Chlorophytum does not have high requirements for potting soil. Some people like to use loose and breathable soil to plant Chlorophytum, but I don’t recommend it. If the soil is too loose and breathable, it may cause the Chlorophytum to need watering frequently. If you forget about it for a while, it will obviously not grow well. Therefore, I think you can add a little coconut bran to the garden soil to ensure that it has the same air permeability, but it is not particularly water-retaining. This kind of soil can retain water and does not require special watering, which is suitable for lazy people.
