How to cure Falangio, the “spider” plant that purifies the air in the house

The Phalanx , also called spider plant, is a tropical plant native to South Africa, widely used as an indoor and decorative plant.

It is an evergreen, so it is very simple to cultivate and very tolerant even in cases of periods of abandonment or forgetfulness.

  • Sun Exposure – Phalanx does not like direct light, it does well even in places where the temperature is cooler. Leaves that are too exposed will tend to turn white and have burns at the tips.
  • Watering : The spider plant should be watered every day with a modest amount of water. The soil should never be soaked.
  • Fertilizers : you can add natural or specific fertilizers directly to the pot once a month.
  • Pruning – Rarely necessary. What you should remember to do periodically is, instead, removing dry leaves.
  • Infestations : these types of plants are subject to mite infestations, you can solve the problem by misting a solution of Neem oil once a week, until they have disappeared.< /span>
  • Transplant : it is only necessary when the plant is too large for the pot in which it is located, you can perform a simple transplant in a larger “house”, to ensure that the roots have more space.

You can multiply the plant simply by the cutting method.
