Chlorophytum comosum (Spider Plant) Short Care Guide
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the leaves.
Watering: Water moderately, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter.
Humidity: Prefers average to high humidity. Mist occasionally or place near a humidifier if the air is very dry.
Temperature: Ideal temperature range is 15-25°C. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, rich in organic matter.
Fertilising: Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, diluted houseplant fertiliser.
Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when root-bound, ideally in spring.
Propagation: Easily propagated via the plantlets or ‘spiderettes’ that grow on runners.
Common issues: Brown leaf tips often indicate overwatering, low humidity, or fluoride in tap water. Adjust care accordingly.
Perfect for beginners, the spider plant is resilient and adds a lovely touch of greenery to any home.
