Water your spider plant when the top inch of soil feels dry. Too much water can cause root rot, while too little can make leaves turn brown and crispy.
Use filtered or distilled water to avoid chlorine and fluoride, which can harm your plant. Let tap water sit overnight before using it to let chemicals evaporate.
Water deeply but not too often. Pour until water drains from the bottom, then wait for the soil to dry before watering again. This prevents soggy roots and keeps the plant healthy.
In warmer months, your spider plant needs more water, while in winter, it needs less. Adjust your watering schedule based on temperature and humidity to avoid stress.
Always use a pot with drainage holes. Standing water in a pot can cause root rot, leading to yellowing leaves and a weak plant. Good drainage is key to plant health.
If leaves turn brown at the tips, check your watering routine. Overwatering or underwatering can both cause issues, so find the right balance by checking soil moisture regularly.
Misting the leaves helps in dry weather, but it’s not a replacement for proper watering. A light misting can boost humidity, but always focus on soil moisture for healthy growth.
