Chlorophytum experienced its peak of popularity 15-20 years ago, but still remains a favorite among many gardeners.
The care of the plant is not complicated. The flower is unpretentious, but sometimes its appearance disappoints the owners.
The drying tips of the plant's leaves raise questions and concerns. The thought creeps in that one of the main air purifiers in the home is dying.
Lack of moisture
Drying leaves may indicate that the plant needs to be watered more often. The soil moistening scheme is as follows: in summer - once every 3 days, in winter - once a week. It is better to water not in the center of the pot, but along the edges.
Dry air
The problem is relevant during the heating season. The air in the apartment is too dry, which the chlorophytum does not like. Therefore, the plant needs to be sprayed at least once a week, kept away from hot radiators and occasionally pampered with a warm shower.
In winter, it is difficult to maintain optimal conditions for chlorophytum. Some gardeners use humidifiers.
But it is worth remembering that the drying tips of the leaves of the chlorophytum are a temporary phenomenon. In spring and summer, the plant will recover and will delight you with a healthy appearance.
