spider plant

Spider plants prefer to remain slightly moist at all times, so it's best to water them on a regular basis in small amounts. Aim to water the soil until it is evenly moist, but not soggy. If left dry for too long, the leaves may become crispy. A good rule of thumb is to give the plant a thorough watering once a week, and check the soil in-between to make sure it is not completely dry. If you're in a more humid climate, you may need to water less often. If you're in a dry climate, you may need to water more often.

Spider plants (Chlorophytum comosum 'Vittatum') do best in indirect sunlight for at least 4-6 hours a day and can tolerate full sun when temperatures are cooler. They should be kept out of the direct midday sun as this could lead to dehydration of the foliage. If your spider plant is receiving too much light, it will start to turn yellow and develop brown spots on the leaves. If it does not receive enough light, the foliage will become pale and the plant may become leggy.

Pruning of a Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum 'Vittatum') should usually take place in the late winter or early spring. The plant should be pruned in order to improve its overall shape and appearance, as well as to stimulate new growth. When pruning, only about 1-third of each stem should be removed. This ensures that the plant maintains its fullness while also improving air circulation. In some cases, where an excessive amount of pruning is necessary, all the stems can be cut back to the base of the plant in order to encourage new growth.
