Chlorophytum

Chlorophytum, also known as “spider plant” or “phalanx”, is a hardy houseplant, popular for its long, narrow leaves, often streaked with green and white, which form small rosettes. This plant is appreciated not only for its beauty, but also for its ability to purify the air.

Chlorophytum is very easy to care for. It prefers bright locations without direct sunlight, but can also tolerate low light levels. A well-draining soil is ideal to avoid water accumulation. When it comes to watering, allow the surface of the substrate to dry slightly between waterings. As a general rule, water once a week during the growing season (spring and summer), reducing the frequency in autumn and winter.

Chlorophytum is fairly resistant to pests, but can occasionally be attacked by mealybugs or aphids. Inspect its leaves regularly, and in the event of infestation, you can use an alcohol-soaked cloth or mild insecticidal soap to remove them.

With this simple care, your Chlorophytum will reward you with lasting beauty and the ability to adapt to a variety of environments.
