Care Guide
Watering: Water weekly. Let soil partially dry between waterings. Use room-temperature, filtered water — Spider Plants are sensitive to fluoride, which can cause brown leaf tips.
Light: Place in bright indirect light. Avoid direct harsh afternoon sun. Ideal near east or west-facing windows.
Humidity: Target 50–60% humidity. Mist leaves 2–3 times weekly or use a pebble tray. Wipe leaves monthly with a damp cloth.
Temperature: Maintain 18–25°C. Avoid cold drafts and AC vents below 15°C. Ensure good air circulation.
Fertilizing: During the growing season (March–October), feed every 4 weeks with a balanced fertilizer. Reduce frequency in winter.
