Care Tips

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some lower light conditions, but vibrant growth and spiderette production are best in bright, filtered light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

• Water: Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly until it drains from the bottom. Spider plants are somewhat drought-tolerant but prefer consistent moisture. Reduce watering in winter.

• Humidity: Tolerates average household humidity, but appreciates higher humidity. Occasional misting can be beneficial.

• Soil: Use a well-draining, all-purpose potting mix.

• Temperature: Thrives in average room temperatures between 18-29°C (65-85°F). Protect from cold drafts.

• Feeding: Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the spring and summer growing seasons with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer, diluted to half strength.

• Pruning: Trim off older, browning leaves or excessive spiderettes to maintain shape and encourage new growth.

• Propagation: Easily propagate new plants from the "spiderettes" by rooting them in water or soil.
