Spider plant

The Spider plant is among the most adaptable houseplants, and is very easy to grow. A graceful plant that makes a statement anywhere—from a tabletop to a mantle, or with its lovely arching leaves as a hanging plant. The Spider Plant is also known for its tremendous air purifying qualities, making it a healthy addition to your home as well.

Keep the following points in mind to grow a healthy spider plant

LIGHT

Your spider plant can be placed in low to indirect bright light. The more light the plant receives, the bolder the stripes will be. Watch out for too much direct light and it can scorch the leaves.

WATER

Water your spider plant when 50-75% of the soil volume is dry. Dry crispy tips often point to underwatering while dark brown tips point to overwatering. Water thoroughly and discard of any excess water in the saucer. 

Soil

Spider plants (Chlorophytum comosum) grow best in well-draining soil with a pH of 5.5–6.5. Spider plants can tolerate a range of soil pHs, but prefer a neutral or slightly acidic soil. A good choice is a soil mix that contains coconut fibers and high-quality compost. You can also add perlite, vermiculite, or sand to improve drainage.
