The ribbon is to the interior of houses what geraniums are to terraces and balconies. It is one of the most popular indoor plants since, in addition to being beautiful, They are hardy and easy to care for. In fact, they do not need excessive care. And decoratively speaking, they give a lot of play since in addition to making compositions, they can be hung and give life to walls and corners.
In addition, they reproduce easily by putting the suckers in water until the roots grow and we can plant them in a pot. But even the easiest plants to care for sometimes cause problems. I myself in my house have seen how the leaves of this plant in theory almost immortal turned brown.
In most cases, when the tips of the leaves of the tape or Chlorophitum comosum turn brown, it is usually due to excessive dryness. The ribbon is not one of the plants that need the most water to survive, but even so, we should give it a couple of times a week now that it is summer, and once a week in winter.
But in addition to the lack of water, if you see that the leaves of your tapes have brown spots, it may be because it has been a victim of the red spider. A mite that is usually located on the underside of the leaves, very difficult to see with the naked eye and that usually feeds on plants that live in dry environments.
To kill the spider mite, you can use the potassium soap (17.90 euros), a product that softens the exoskeleton of these insects, weakening them to the point of death. After applying the potassium soap, it is good to apply neem oil (24.97 euros) to protect the plant from pests.
On the other hand, if you see that the sheets of your tape are limp and wrinkled, it’s probably getting too hot. The Cinta is a fairly spartan plant in terms of care, but it needs spaces that are not too hot so that it can develop properly.
