In Russia, chlorophytum has long become a favorite houseplant of many flower growers. In natural conditions, such a plant can be found in different parts of the world, including Asia and America. In apartments and houses, chlorophytum grows very well, requiring little effort
It is also not so difficult to recognize this plant, because it differs in green or multi-colored leaves that have a drooping appearance. The strict appearance of chlorophytum allows it to be grown not only at home, but also in the premises of various institutions - schools, hospitals, etc. Of course, now the use of chlorophytum in interior design has become less common, since many other plants with a more attractive appearance have appeared. But this plant cleans the air well and has almost no competitors in this function.
Chrorophytum has about two hundred varieties and varieties that are perfectly grown at home. All these plants are united by unpretentious care. Although care and attitude to any chlorophytum has its own distinctive features and characteristics.
Chlorophytum and its types
Crested chlorophytum is most popular among modern people for indoor cultivation. However, while it is in its development stage, it is of little or no aesthetic interest. The foliage of such plants usually has a linear direction and is collected in a single outlet. To make a plant with sharp leaves from chlorophytum, shoots on long shoots will help. Here, by the way, are also placed miniature flowers, resembling stars in their shape. Most often they are white. Chlorophytums look great in the interior if they are installed suspended.
At the moment, it is not the green standard types of chlorophytums that are more popular, but its variegated and unusual varieties. Plants with white elements on green leaves are now in special demand among florists. The leaves themselves on such plants resemble curls or are simply bent.
Another well-known species of this plant is winged chlorophytum. The orchiostellar cousin is very similar to him. Among the external qualities, they are distinguished by the presence of orange petioles in the leaf area. Among the green kingdom, such a flower will become a striking element in the design of the composition.
Chlorophytum care
Chlorophytum is the plant that can be used in your home if the grower is just starting to engage in such a hobby. The plant is very unpretentious to care for, although some conditions should still be observed. Lack of sufficient moisture, excessive cold or heat provoke a loss of brightness in the plant, and the leaves of chlorophytum will simply stop growing. Although the plant itself will not die, since there is always a certain amount of substances it needs on its thick roots. Therefore, after the appearance of the first signs of loss of their external qualities. It is worth transferring chlorophytum to the most comfortable conditions for it. In the same place, the leaves will regain their former appearance.
Particular attention should be paid to the place where the pot will be placed. The plant should be exposed to light for at least twelve hours a day. If the plant belongs to variegated varieties, then the light should be brighter so that they do not lose their aesthetic component. Otherwise, the striped color of the indoor plant will simply disappear, and with a long stay in the shade, the leaves will turn yellow altogether. Lack of light is the main enemy of any chlorophytum. For this reason, its growth stops, and the leaves begin to dry out.
To avoid all sorts of problems, you need to place chlorophytum pots on the west or east side on the windowsills. In summer, you can sometimes take chlorophytum outside, where the flower can breathe fresh air. In the winter season, it is worth taking care of the highlighting of the plant. But an excess of light is no less harmful, because too much exposure to sunlight on the leaves of chlorophytum can cause burns.
As a regular care of the plant, it is necessary to water and fertilize chlorophytum in a timely manner. Also, after he is tall, transplant him into a comfortable, larger pot or other container.
