Spider Plants prefer consistently moist soil, but never waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce frequency slightly in winter when growth slows.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering causes leaf tips to brown. Use filtered or distilled water if tap water is high in fluoride or chlorine.

Pruning is mainly for aesthetics and to remove spent flower stalks or yellowed/damaged leaves. You can also trim back excessive foliage to maintain size or encourage bushier growth.

"Spiderettes" (plantlets) can be removed for propagation or to keep the plant tidy. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruners to make clean cuts.

Spider Plants are easily propagated from the "spiderettes" that form on long arching stems. Simply snip off a plantlet and place it in water or directly into moist potting mix. Roots will develop quickly.

Division of the main plant during repotting is another effective method, separating clumps of roots and foliage.

Repot every 1-2 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound, typically in spring. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one, ensuring it has drainage holes.

Fresh potting mix provides new nutrients and better aeration. Gently loosen roots if they are circling the pot before placing the plant in its new home.
