Chlorophytum comosum also known as the “spider plant” or “ribbon plant” is one of the all time favourite houseplants that has been around for decades.
The spider plant does best in a bright position away from any direct afternoon sun that may scorch the leaves.
It is capable of growing in low light situations but will be slower, leggier and not produce as many pups .
It looks its best when elevated in a hanging basket or stand to show off the pups that hang off the main plant.
Let the plant dry out before re watering thoroughly.
Liquid feed monthly during spring and summer to maximise growth.
Spider plants thrive in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate lower light conditions. They are ideal for indoor environments such as offices or rooms with filtered sunlight. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, which can scorch their leaves.
This plant prefers warm, humid conditions similar to tropical regions. It grows best in temperatures between 15°C and 25°C. Protect it from cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C.
Plant spider plants in well-draining soil. A standard indoor potting mix with added perlite or sand works well to ensure proper drainage while retaining necessary moisture.
Feed the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilising in the autumn and winter when the plant's growth slows down.
