Spider Plant Assorted

Description:
The Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum) is a popular, easy-to-care-for houseplant known for its long, arching green leaves with white or yellowish stripes. It’s often admired for its ability to produce small "pups" (offshoots) that dangle down like spiders, hence the name. Spider Plants are non-toxic to pets, making them a great choice for households with animals. They're also known for their air-purifying qualities, removing pollutants from indoor air. Spider Plants are perfect for beginners and can thrive in a variety of environments.

Watering:
Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry to the touch. Spider Plants prefer to be watered thoroughly but should not sit in water, as this can lead to root rot. Be sure to empty any excess water from the saucer after watering. During the Winter months, reduce watering as the plant's growth slows. 

Fertilizer:
Feed with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer once every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (Spring and Summer). In Fall and Winter, reduce or stop fertilizing, as the plant enters a period of slower growth. Over-fertilizing can lead to leggy growth or leaf burn, so be sure to use fertilizer sparingly.

Lighting:
Spider Plants prefer bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. In lower light, growth may slow down, and the plant may produce fewer pups. While they can tolerate some direct sunlight, too much can scorch the leaves, so it’s best to keep them in a spot with filtered light. A West- or East-facing window is ideal.

Temperature:
Thrives in temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Spider Plants are relatively heat-tolerant but should be kept away from drafts, cold windows, and air conditioners, as they are sensitive to temperatures below 50°F (10°C). A stable, warm environment is best for optimal growth.

Humidity:
Spider Plants are adaptable to average household humidity but will thrive in a humid environment. If your home is very dry, occasional misting can help keep the plant happy. However, they can tolerate lower humidity levels, making them suitable for a variety of home environments.
