Mini Spider Plant

The Mini Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum) is a classic and easy-care houseplant known for its arching green and white-striped leaves and its ability to produce cascading baby plantlets. Thriving in bright, indirect light but tolerant of lower light conditions, it prefers well-draining soil and moderate watering, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Its air-purifying qualities and fast-growing nature make it a popular choice for homes and offices. With its elegant, trailing habit and resilience, the Spider Plant is a perfect addition to any indoor plant collection.

Care Instructions:

• Light Conditions☀️
  Spider plants prefer bright, indirect light, like that near an east or north-facing window, or a south-facing window with filtered light.
  While they can tolerate lower light conditions, growth may be slower, and variegated leaves may lose some of their vibrant colouration.
  Strong, direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, leading to brown tips or faded colours.
  
• Watering💧
  Water when the top few cm of soil feels dry.
  Keep the compost lightly moist during the growing season (spring through summer).
  Using rainwater or filtered water is recommended.
  Reduce watering frequency during the cooler winter months when the plant's growth slows.
  Always allow excess water to drain away to prevent root rot.
  
• Humidity💦
  Spider plants tolerate average household humidity, but dry air can cause brown leaf tips.
  To increase your humidity levels you can use a humidifier or you could consider regularly misting your plant if the indoor air is dry.
  You can also place your plant on a tray of pebbles and water to increase the humidity levels.
  
• Temperature🌡️
  Spider plants are quite tolerant of temperature variations. They prefer moderate temperatures, ideally between 18°C and 24°C.
  Avoid cold draughts, air conditioners or heaters as the plant is sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
  
• Fertilising🌱
  Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser. Reduce or stop feeding in winter.
  
• Additional Care➕
  Wipe leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and improve photosynthesis.
  Repot every 1-2 years in well-draining soil to accommodate growth and refresh nutrients.
  Remove any old, yellowing, or damaged leaves at the crown of the plant using clean, sharp tools.
