Please note : these are practical tips that I have gathered from several gardening sites. I am not a botanist. These are non-exhaustive advice, since each plant will react differently depending on its environment. If your plant is doing very well and your care does not follow this sheet to the letter, don't change anything. Be attentive to the moods of your plants before anything else!
Its cuttings scare me, it really looks like spiders !!
Up to 30 cm
Family: Liliaceae
Exposure : Bright - no direct sun.
Mist : regularly throughout the year, more in summer and winter if there is heating.
Humidity : clay balls at the bottom of the pot.
Watering in spring / summer : once a week; the substrate must remain slightly damp.
Watering in autumn / winter : Wait until the substrate is dry; so approximately every 10 days. The lower the temperature will be, the less it will need to be watered.
Temperature : Ideal between 18-20 ° (64.41-68F). Must not drop below 10 °(50F).
Repotting : In the spring every year if the plant is cramped (roots sticking out).
Soil : 2/3 potting soil for green plants or indoor plants, drained with clay balls or 1/3 perlites. The best being an intermediate araceous mixture, 25% potting soil (preferably organic), 25% sphagnum moss, 40% coconut bark (between 10 and 20 mm) and 10% perlite (20% if your climate is rather temperate / cool).
Liquid fertilizer : if used, spring / summer every 8 to 15 days, then stop completely. Useless if the soil is recent and already contains fertilizer (wait at least a month). Liquid fertilizer should always be administered on a soil previously watered.
Concerns :
-The edges of the leaves turn yellow then dry : lack of moisture or fertilizer.
-The leaves dry : excess light or not enought water.
-Colors tarnish : lack of brightness or nutrients. Add fertilizer, repot or do a surfacing.
Prone to mealybugs and spider mites.
To know : Beware of drafts.
There is a lot of care and advice that generally applies to almost all houseplants, such as avoiding drafts, putting clay balls at the bottom of the pot, avoiding installing near springs heat (as radiators), avoid direct sun ... To find out about them, I advise you to read my article Basic tips plants. Otherwise, generally speaking, the articles on the Basic Tips page.
