Spider Plant Care
About the Spider Plant
The Spider Plant is one of the best low-maintenance houseplants. It’s loved for its air-purifying powers, beautiful arching leaves, and ability to grow almost anywhere. Perfect for beginners and plant lovers like!
Origin
Native to South Africa.
Light
Grows best in bright, indirect light but can survive in low light too. Keep it out of direct sunlight to prevent leaf burns.
Water
Water every 1-2 weeks. Let the soil dry between waterings. Water more often if your plant gets lots of light or if it's hot. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
Humidity
Handles normal home humidity but loves a little misting now and then. This keeps the leaves fresh and healthy.
Back in the 1970s, Spider Plants were super popular with hippies! People loved them for their air-cleaning abilities and often hung them in macrame plant holders for a boho-chic vibe.
