Spider Plant Care

Temperature:
Minimum temperature should be no lower than 45°F (7°C). Ideal is approximately 60° - 75°F (15° - 24°C).

Light:
Nicely lit room without direct sunlight.

Watering:
They like plenty of water, between spring and summer. In the winter they should need a lot less.

Soil:
Any decent potting mix.

Re-Potting:
Re-pot in spring, if needed (outgrown its pot). Look for roots growing out of the drainage holes of the current pot.

Fertilizer:
Feed during spring and summer with a diluted liquid fertilizer.

Humidity:
Avoid too much hot air as this will affect the leaves. Spraying a water mist in the summer and within a warm artificially heated room will help.

Propagation:
Propagate by dividing the main plant or replant the plant-lets that grow from the main plant any time between spring - fall.
