How to Care for a Spider Plant
Spider Plants are easy to care for and make a vibrant addition to any home or office. Read on to learn all the basics about spider plants and how you can give them the best care possible.
Steps
- Ensure your spider plant has plenty of bright, indirect sunlight. Spider plants thrive in locations that get about six hours of indirect sunlight a day.
- Water your spider plant regularly. Make sure the soil stays moist but not soggy, as spider plants don’t enjoy sitting in wet soil. Aim to water your spider plant every 7-10 days.
- Fertilise your spider plant every few months. Purchase a specific fertiliser for spider plants, and dilute it to half the prescribed strength before using it. Sprinkle the fertiliser around the plant in March, June, September and December
- Repot your spider plant every few years. As spider plants grow, they will need to be repotted in a larger pot. Typically a spider plant should need to be repotted every two to three years.
- Check for pests. Spider plants are relatively free of pests, but they are prone to mealybugs and mites. If you start noticing brown spots or webbing on your plant, that’s a sign of pests and you should move the plant to a separate area, and treat it with an insecticide.
By following these steps you’ll soon have a flourishing spider plant that is sure to bring color and vibrancy to your home.
