Plant Care Tips & Tricks

Spider Plant

Spider Plants are popular houseplants recognized for their air-purifying abilities and striking foliage. Although there are various spider plants available, the most common ones typically exhibit thin and narrow green leaves with distinctive white stripes. The leaves gracefully arch downwards, making an attractive display of greenery in hanging baskets. The plant forms plantlets (AKA baby plants) at the end of long and wiry flower stems, which dangle and give a spider-like appearance – hence the name Spider Plants or Airplane Plants.

Varieties: Curly, Variegated, Green

Lighting: These plants enjoy medium to bright, indirect sunlight. Direct sun will burn the foliage.

Irrigation: Allow about 50% of the soil to dry between thorough irrigations. Water until liquid runs from drainage holes at the bottom of the pot and discard excess water. Do not allow your plant to sit in standing water as it will lead to root rot.

Humidity: Spider plants adapt well to average household humidity.

Fertilizer: Feed once a month during the summer using a balanced fertilizer.
Follow package recommendations.
