Spider plants are tough, but they thrive in the right conditions:
- Temperature: 65–75°F (18–24°C) is ideal. Avoid drafts and sudden temperature drops.
- Humidity: They love moderate humidity. If your air is dry (especially in winter), mist the leaves occasionally or place a small humidifier nearby.
- Clean the leaves: Dust can block sunlight. Gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to keep them clean and shiny.
🌸 7. Encourage Baby Plantlets
Want a fuller, cascading look? Spider plants naturally produce long stems with baby plantlets. If your plant is healthy and mature (6 months or older), you can encourage this by:
- Providing consistent light and care.
- Letting the plant become slightly root-bound (a little stress can trigger babies).
- Avoiding frequent repotting during the blooming season.
You can leave the babies attached for a fuller appearance or snip and replant them for more spider plants around the home.
