Quick Care Tips
Light: Bright indirect light is ideal; tolerates medium to low light (but grows slower and less striped in shade). Avoid direct harsh sun.
Watering: Keep soil lightly moist — water when the top 2–3 cm feels dry (usually weekly). It forgives the occasional missed watering but hates soggy roots.
Soil: Well-draining houseplant or cactus mix; add perlite for extra aeration.
Humidity: Happy in average indoor levels; occasional misting or a pebble tray boosts it in dry homes.
Temperature: Thrives at 18–27°C; keep away from cold drafts or heaters.
Extra Love: Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring/summer with balanced liquid fertilizer. Trim brown tips and repot every 1–2 years. Easily propagate spiderettes in water or soil!
Hardy, happy, and endlessly rewarding — the Spider Plant is the perfect “set-it-and-smile” plant that keeps on giving!
