The "4 skills" of spider plants for wintering are not afraid of low temperature or cold, grow vigorously, and squeeze out a bunch of buds
Spider plant is a herbaceous plant, a very common ornamental flower in the home, loved by people, although simple but beautiful, and even has the effect of purifying the air. However, with the arrival of winter, many people will find that their spider plants are not growing well, with yellowish leaves, slow growth, and even wilting, so how to keep the spider plants alive in winter? Here are three tips we can take to make our little friends thrive in the winter.
Provide a high-quality growing environment.
Winter is the dormant period for spider plants, but that doesn't mean we can ignore the environment in which it grows. We need to remove the spider plant from the original soil and remove the remaining old soil and possible pests and diseases. Then, we need to choose a new soil with a soft texture and strong aeration to provide a comfortable growth environment for the roots of the spider plant. In this process, we should try to handle it gently as much as possible to avoid causing damage to the root system of the spider plant. Of course, this process must be paid attention to the surrounding temperature, and it is possible to keep the temperature between 15 and 25 degrees. If the temperature is too low, you have to wait a little longer.
Nutrients are supplemented according to the climate.
We need to fertilize the spider plant at the right time according to the temperature change. Although the low temperatures in winter slow down the growth rate of the spider plant, it still needs nutrients to sustain its life activities. Therefore, we need to adjust the frequency of fertilization according to the change in temperature. When the temperature is low, we can appropriately reduce the number of fertilization, just need to keep the soil moist. And when the temperature starts to rise, we can appropriately increase the number of fertilization to meet the nutrient needs of the spider plant. In fact, spider plant is a more fertilizing flower, but do not pick fertilizer, like the potassium dihydrogen phosphate we often use, you can use it every once in a while with sprinkler irrigation, which can not only make the leaves of the spider plant become green and bright, but also promote the growth of small spider plants.
Do a good job of anti-freezing by controlling water.
The most important thing in winter is to avoid frost damage to spider plants. The low temperatures in winter can easily expose spider plants to frost damage, so we need to take some measures to protect it. We can place the spider plant indoors in a well-lit place to avoid direct exposure to cold air, and if you insist on keeping it outdoors, it is not advisable, after all, its leaves are relatively thin and it is most prone to frostbite. At the same time, we should also pay attention to controlling the frequency and amount of watering, because the spider plant grows slower in winter and the water evaporates more slowly, and if it is given too much water, it may lead to root rot. What's more, the flower roots of the spider plant are relatively thick, and frequent watering is easy to rot, in addition, we can also put some insulation materials around the spider plant, such as foam boards, straw curtains, etc., to enhance the thermal insulation effect.
Trim properly. 
In addition to the above three tips, we also need to pay attention to some details. For example, we need to prune the spider plant properly on a regular basis and maintain good ventilation to avoid the breeding of pests and diseases. In addition, pruning can promote better plant growth and even increase the overall ornamentality. When you prune off the yellow leaves of the diseased leaves, new young leaves will emerge next to them, which is the effect of pruning. Only in this way can the spider plant grow healthily in winter and welcome the new spring.
In general, in order to maintain the healthy growth of spider plants in winter, we need to do a good job in four aspects: soil change, fertilization, frost and water control, and pruning. By providing a good environment for the spider plant to grow, meeting its nutrient needs, and avoiding frost damage, we can make the spider plant thrive in the cold winter.
