🪴 Spider Plant with Hanging Pot (Chlorophytum comosum)

The Spider Plant is a beloved houseplant known for its graceful, arching leaves and cascading “spiderettes” (baby plantlets) that dangle beautifully from long stems. Native to South Africa, this resilient and adaptable plant thrives in hanging pots, adding movement and freshness to any indoor space. It’s one of the easiest and most rewarding houseplants to grow — perfect for beginners and plant enthusiasts alike.

🔆 Light Requirements

• Ideal Light: Bright, indirect sunlight encourages lush foliage and healthy offshoots.

• Tolerates: Moderate light and partial shade.

• Avoid: Prolonged low light (which may slow growth) and intense direct sun, which can scorch leaf tips.

💧 Watering Guidelines

• When to Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.

• Frequency: About once a week in spring and summer; less often in winter.

• Important: Spider Plants prefer slightly moist — not soggy — soil. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.

🌾 Soil & Potting

• Soil: Use a well-draining, loamy potting mix rich in organic matter.

• Pot: A hanging pot with drainage holes is ideal. Avoid overly large pots, as Spider Plants grow best when slightly root-bound.

🌱 Fertilization

• Feed: Every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.

• Avoid: Overfertilizing, which can cause brown leaf tips or fertilizer buildup in the soil.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune: Trim off brown leaf tips or damaged foliage to maintain a neat appearance. Remove baby plantlets (spiderettes) to encourage energy toward new growth — or use them for propagation.

• Repotting: Every 1–2 years, or when roots fill the pot and start circling inside. Refresh the soil during repotting for renewed vitality.

• Propagation: Easily propagated from spiderettes placed in water or soil until rooted.

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

• Humidity: Thrives in average household humidity. Increase humidity slightly in dry climates by misting or grouping with other plants.

• Temperature: Prefers 18–27°C (65–80°F). Avoid temperatures below 10°C (50°F) and protect from cold drafts.
