Chlorophytum Spider, often known as the Spider Plant, is a stunning indoor plant that is ideal for beginners. It is not only simple to maintain, but it is also a NASA-certified air purifier. Its tall, green foliage with white variegations looks well in hanging planters as well as desktop arrangements. It blooms with little white flowers under favourable circumstances, and its pups develop on stems cascading from the plant.
Plant Care
Fertilizer/ feed for the plant: Every two weeks, give your plant a generic liquid fertiliser diluted to half strength.
Repotting : When your plant outgrows its present pot, repot it. Select a pot that is one size larger than the existing pot. The optimum time to repot your Spider plant is at the start of spring. Chlorophytum Spider can be grown by splitting the parent plant or by detaching and transplanting plantlets during the monsoon season.
Typical issues
1. Why do the tops of my Spider Plant have brown spots?
Direct sunshine, as well as heat and cold draughts, can induce browning of the leaf tips. If you find brown tips on your plant, move it out of direct sunlight and stick to a watering schedule.
2. Why are my spider plant’s leaves becoming yellow?
Excessive sunshine might cause your spider plant’s leaves to yellow and wilt. To avoid this, move your plant away from direct sunlight. Excess minerals and fertilisers in the soil can also induce leaf yellowing.
3. Why is my spider plant drooping?
Your plant may droop for a variety of causes. Overwatering, insufficient or excessive light, or a lack of nutrients might cause your spider plant to droop and wilt. Before you can fix an issue, you must first determine what’s causing it.
