Green lilies have a rather unusual nickname; Luckily, they have nothing to do with scary arachnids!
Just to be clear, if you grow these plants, spiders won’t infest your home. But jokes aside, these plants decorate homes all over the world and their appearance is certainly the main reason for their fame.
Sometimes these plants look a bit unsightly and it looks like they need a refresh, so the question arises: how do you make spider plants bushier?
If you’ve thought about it, you’ve come to the right place to find the answer.
In this article, I’ll show you some great methods to create a
and bushy spider plant.
Let’s go! Green lilies are not picky when it comes to growing conditions, but if they are neglected, they grow poorly.
Some of the best ways to make spider plants bushier include pruning, proper lighting, repotting, propagation, and fertilizing.
Let’s discuss the different measures in detail!
Pruning your
green lily has many benefits for the growth of your plants. It keeps diseases and pests away, ensures that the plant retains the desired shape and size, promotes bushier growth, while restoring the overall vitality and health of the spider plant.
The good thing is that you don’t have to spend a fortune on special cutting equipment. Pruning shears, scissors, or secateurs are actually all you need.
If you’re growing similar plants, such as snake plants, you can do the same.
Whatever you use for cutting, it needs to be sharp if you don’t want to break your spider plant. It certainly doesn’t look busier!
In addition, you will need something to sterilize the tools. 70% isopropyl alcohol or commercially available bleach is sufficient.
Pruning green lilies should never be done in the colder season. These plants actively grow in the spring and summer, so you should prune them at this time.
Cut the plant slightly to remove discolored or diseased foliage. You can also remove the tips from the leaves as they turn brown to encourage new and healthier growth.
This will also keep unwanted pests away.
