Style and Decor
Light Requirements: When grown indoors, the Chlorophytum Spider needs bright to moderate indirect light year-round. When grown outdoors, the spider plant grows best with partial shade or filtered sunlight.
Locations: Place your Chlorophytum Spider in your living room by a window, or your bathroom but make sure it receives sufficient light. You can also grow the spider plant in a shaded balcony.
Styling/decor tip: Add life to your home with the bright green foliage of the Chlorophytum Spider. It is an excellent choice for planter stands and pedestal planters. A spider plant in a hanging planter will look beautiful in your bathroom corner. If you want to try something different, use wall planters to make a green wall of spider plants to improve air quality
Plant Essentials
Fertilizer/ feed for the plant: Feed your plant a generic liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2 weeks.
Repotting: Repot your plant when it begins to outgrow the current pot. Choose a pot one size larger than the current pot. The start of spring is the best time to repot your Spider plant.
Propagation: Chlorophytum Spider can be propagated by dividing the main plant or by detaching and replanting the plantlet during monsoon.
Common Problems
1. Why does my Spider Plant have brown tips?
Exposure to direct sunlight or hot and cold drafts can cause browning of leaf tips. Move your plant away from direct sunlight if you notice brown tips and follow a set watering schedule.
2. Why are the leaves of my spider plant turning yellow?
Excessive sunlight can make the leaves of your spider plant turn yellow and wilt. Move your plant away from direct sunlight to avoid this. At times, excessive minerals and fertilizers in the soil can also cause the yellowing of leaves.
3. Why is my spider plant drooping?
Various reasons can make your plant droop. Overwatering, not enough or too much of light, or lack of nutrients can make your spider plant droop and wilt. Identify the cause first before correcting the problem.
