Spider plant care guide

Light Requirements

  • Best Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light. However, avoid direct sunlight as it may scorch the leaves.

  • Tip: Place it near a window with filtered light for optimal growth.

Watering

  • Frequency: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Additionally, allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

  • Avoid: Overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. Conversely, do not let the soil become bone dry for too long.

Humidity

  • Ideal Levels: Prefers average household humidity but also tolerates drier air.

  • Tip: In very dry conditions, consider misting occasionally to prevent leaf browning. Moreover, grouping plants together can naturally increase humidity.

Soil

  • Type: Use a well-draining potting mix. We recommend Barks Unlimited Potting Soil for healthy growth, complemented by Perlite for improved aeration and drainage. In particular, this combination ensures proper moisture balance.

Temperature

  • Preferred Range: 18-27°C. It is important to protect the plant from frost and sudden temperature drops.

Fertilizing

  • When and How: Feed every two weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Alternatively, use a Controlled Release Fertilizer for up to 6 months of nourishment. For organic care, try Terraplus Natura N, which enriches the soil naturally. Furthermore, avoid over-fertilizing, as it may harm the plant.

Pruning and Maintenance

  • Pruning: Trim off brown tips and spent leaves to maintain a tidy appearance. As an added benefit, this also encourages healthy growth.

  • Pup Removal: Gently remove plantlets for propagation or to manage the plant's size.

Repotting

  • Frequency: Repot every 1-2 years or when the roots become crowded. In addition, refreshing the soil during repotting ensures continued health.

  • Best Time: Early spring is the ideal time for repotting.

Propagation

  • Method: Propagate by planting the 'pups' in soil or water until they root. In doing so, you can easily create new plants.

  • Timing: Propagate in spring or summer for the best results.

Common Pests and Problems

  • Pests: Watch for spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids. If you notice an infestation, treat it promptly with insecticidal soap.

  • Leaf Browning: This is often caused by overwatering, low humidity, or fluoride in water. Therefore, consider using filtered water if needed.

Special Notes

  • Pet Safe: Spider plants are non-toxic to pets. However, they may cause mild stomach upset if ingested in large quantities.

  • Air Purifying: This plant helps improve indoor air quality by removing toxins. Furthermore, its resilience makes it perfect for beginners.

The Spider Plant's graceful appearance and adaptability make it a must-have for any indoor plant enthusiast!
