Oil painting chlorophytum and wedding chlorophytum are two new varieties introduced this year. Although they have the word chlorophytum in their names, they are not a family of chlorophytum, but advanced varieties of Eupatorium adenophorum and Tradescantia. The leaves of the oil painting chlorophytum are thick and hard, and the back of the leaves looks like a layer of purple pigment, which is as beautiful as oil painting, so it is called oil painting chlorophytum. Wedding chlorophytum plants have small and dense leaves and compact plant types. There are two stripes of green and pink on the leaves. The color is pink and tender, and the temperament is small and fresh. Both kinds of chlorophytum are very decorative. You can find a hanging basin to hang in front of the window and raise it. When the leaf hangs down, it will grow longer and longer, and it will grow into a beautiful flower curtain next spring! You can also raise two kinds of chlorophytum together in a pot, make a beautiful foliage plant, put it in the corner of the window sill and enjoy it slowly with a cup of tea. How cozy it is.
How to raise oil paintings and wedding orchids?
After buying chlorophytum, you can use the original nutrition pot for maintenance without changing the pot, or you can take the whole plant out of the pot and change it into a flowerpot of similar size. Don't break up the root soil, mix peat soil and perlite in the surrounding gap at a ratio of 3:2. After changing, water thoroughly and put it in a well-ventilated and astigmatism place to slow down the seedlings. No fertilizer and no sunshine for a week. Oil paintings and wedding orchids are also shade-tolerant. If you stay in the sun for more time, the color will be more gorgeous. If there is insufficient light, the color will become lighter and the markings will become lighter and green. Other aspects are similar to ordinary chlorophytum. When it's cold, you don't need to water it too often. If you encounter soil below 2cm, you can dry it first and then water it. Instead, you can spray more water on the leaves, and the water drops hang on the leaves, which is more photogenic! Keep the room temperature above 5 degrees in winter. Don't blow cold air on the leaves. If the temperature in your house is too low, put a plastic bag on it, but you can't put the flowerpot directly on the radiator or on the floor! When the weather gets warmer next spring, the branches and leaves of chlorophytum will grow wildly. Then remember to change a big pot and bury a few Austrian-aluminum slow-release fertilizers in the soil. It will get stronger and stronger!
