Keep the plant in bright to moderate indirect sunlight for optimal growth and offsets production.
If utilizing tap water, let it sit overnight before watering to allow fluorides and chlorine to evaporate.
Common Problems & Solutions
Why are the tips of my Spider Plant leaves turning brown?
Brown tips are usually a reaction to fluoride in tap water or extremely dry air. Try watering with distilled water.
Why isn't my Spider Plant producing any babies (spiderettes)?
Spider plants produce offsets when slightly root-bound and kept in bright, indirect light. Give it more light and avoid repotting too frequently.
