Spider Plant - 4in Pot

The Spider Plant, also known as Chlorophytum comosum, is a popular and easy-to-care-for indoor plant. 

Care

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. Place your plant near a window that gets bright, filtered light or use sheer curtains to filter direct sun. Avoid placing your plant in a location where it will receive direct sun for extended periods of time, as this can cause leaf burn.

Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Make sure the pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape, and empty any water that accumulates in the saucer underneath the pot.

Soil: Prefers a well-draining soil mix, such as a mixture of potting soil and perlite.

Fertilization: Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Reduce fertilization during the winter months when the plant is dormant.

Humidity: Prefer average indoor humidity levels, but they can tolerate a wider range of humidity levels. If your home is dry, you can increase the humidity around your plant by placing a tray of water near it or misting it regularly.

Temperature: Spider Plants prefer temperatures between 60-75°F and can tolerate a wider range of temperatures but they will not thrive in extreme heat or cold.

Propagation: Spider Plants are easily propagated from offsets, which are small plantlets that form at the ends of the long, arching stems. Simply cut off an offset and plant it in soil.

Blooms: Spider Plants produce small white or yellow flowers on long spikes. While not particularly showy, the flowers are a sign of a healthy plant.
