Spider Plant Care Made Simple
Also called the spider plant, Chlorophytum comosum is tough and fun, brightening any Glasgow home with green leaves. Here’s how to keep it happy:
Light
Give it bright, indirect light. It can handle less light but grows best and makes more baby plants with filtered sunlight. Avoid direct sun to stop leaf burn.
Water
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Don’t overwater—good drainage is key to avoid root rot. Water less in winter.
Humidity & Temperature
Keeps happy between 15–24°C. Likes moderate humidity but adapts well. Mist sometimes if your air is dry.
Feeding
Feed once a month in spring and summer with diluted balanced plant food. No feeding in winter.
Potting & Soil
Use well-draining potting soil. Repot every 1–2 years to refresh soil and give roots space. Likes a snug pot but room to grow.
Propagation
Cut off baby “spiderettes” with visible roots and plant in moist soil for easy new plants.
Problems
Brown tips = too much fluoride, dry air, or uneven watering.
Watch for pests like aphids and spider mites; clean leaves or use insect soap.
With a little care, your spider plant will bring quirky, lively charm to any corner. Happy planting!
