How to grow tiger skin plant and how to make tiger skin plant grow tall

Tiger skin plant, also known as tiger tail palm, is a common green plant planted in households. It can purify the air and absorb formaldehyde. Tiger skin plant is cold-resistant, so there is no need to worry about it freezing to death in winter. So how can you grow tiger skin plant to make it bloom?

How to grow tiger skin plant to make it bloom

1. Choose the right soil

The growth of most plants depends on soil. If the soil is not good and not suitable for plant growth, it will be difficult for the plants to bloom and grow well.

Tiger Skin Orchid is best grown in loose, fertile soil with good drainage and air permeability. Only this kind of soil can allow its roots to grow deeper and more developed, so when choosing soil, you must choose according to the growth habits of Tiger Skin Orchid.

2. Give it the right amount of light

The growth of tiger skin plant cannot be separated from sunlight. Only when it is given the right amount of light can it grow well and be full of vitality. If it is kept in a dark environment for a long time, its leaves will turn yellow and dark, and the plant will grow worse and worse.

It should be noted that if the snake plant has not been exposed to sunlight for a long time, you cannot put it in the sun for exposure all at once. You need to put it in an environment with good diffuse light for a period of time to allow it to adapt before allowing it to receive direct sunlight.

3. Reasonable watering

Tiger Piranha is a plant with strong drought resistance. It does not need too much water during its entire growth process. If you do not blindly and excessively water it according to its habit, its roots will rot, causing it to slowly wilt and wither.

Therefore, when watering it, it is best to follow the principle of "better dry than wet", and wait until the soil is dry before applying water to it. Do not water it without restraint at other times.

4. Reasonable fertilization

Tiger Piranha does not have a very high demand for fertilizer, but in order to make it grow faster and better during its peak growth season, it is best to apply fertilizer to it every half a month or so so that it can absorb enough nutrients and grow better and more vigorously.

5. Repotting and root pruning

In order to make the tiger skin plant grow better, you need to change its potting soil every two years or so. When changing the soil, if you find that its roots are rotten or growing weakly, you need to cut off these rotten roots and weak roots in time, replace it with nutrient soil, water it once to help it take root, and place it in a cool and ventilated environment for maintenance.

How does Tiger Pilan grow taller?

First, the root system is strong.

Tiger Skin Plant is a very drought-resistant plant. Watering it too frequently will cause the roots of the Tiger Skin Plant to rot, causing it to stop growing or even wilt and die.

When planting Sansevieria, you need to use loose and breathable soil. There should be more large particles in the soil. You can add more coarse sand, vermiculite, processed coal slag, etc. This will make the soil permeable to water. Even if you are clumsy and cannot control the watering, it doesn’t matter.

Second, sufficient nutrients.

A strong root system is the first factor. Only when the root system is strong can the nutrient absorption efficiency be high.

Tiger Piranha is a foliage plant. Its leaves are sword-shaped, thick and wide, and it requires a relatively large amount of nitrogen fertilizer.

Therefore, during the growing seasons of spring and autumn, additional nitrogen fertilizer needs to be added to the snake plant to ensure that it has enough nutrients to promote growth.

You can also drop some liquid fertilizer with high nitrogen content into the water when watering. Applying thin fertilizer frequently will also be beneficial to the growth of Sansevieria.

Third, the requirements for maintaining the environment.

Although Sansevieria is drought-resistant and barren-resistant, and its requirements for light conditions are not strict, it still needs some light.

In daily care of the Sansevieria, it should be placed in an environment with scattered light. Only with sufficient sunlight can photosynthesis be guaranteed and the Sansevieria can produce enough nutrients to promote growth.

There are also plants like the Golden Edge Tiger Piranha. If they lack sunlight, their golden edges will degenerate and lose their beauty.

Moreover, Sansevieria is not cold-resistant, and it will suffer frost damage if the temperature drops below 10 degrees. Therefore, you must pay attention to keeping warm during winter maintenance, otherwise it will not survive the winter, let alone grow taller and bigger in spring.

Is it poisonous for children to play with tiger skin plants?

Tiger skin orchid is non-toxic and will not produce toxicity in home cultivation and contact, so people can rest assured. Some people feel itchy after meeting it because they are allergic to it, not because the plant is toxic. If you are allergic to it, it is best not to touch it and put it in a well-ventilated place as much as possible.

Not only is Sansevieria non-toxic, it can also absorb harmful substances such as formaldehyde in the air. It can also absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen at night.
