Spider Plant

Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum), also known as Ribbon Plant or Airplane Plant, is a resilient and easy-to-grow houseplant. Its arching leaves and baby "spiderettes" make it a favorite for hanging baskets and tabletops.

Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light.

• Can tolerate low light but grows best in medium to bright light.

• Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

Watering

• Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering.

• Water thoroughly, letting excess water drain—do not let the plant sit in standing water.

• Increase humidity if the tips of the leaves begin to brown.

Temperature

• Ideal temperature: 65–75°F.

• Can tolerate temperatures as low as 50°F but avoids frost.

• Keep away from cold drafts, heaters, and air conditioning vents.

Fertilizing

• Feed during the growing season (spring–summer) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer every 4 weeks.

• Do not fertilize in fall and winter when growth slows.
