Brief

The Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum), also known as the Green Spider Plant, is a fast-growing, low-maintenance houseplant known for its long, arching green leaves. Its unique cascading growth and ability to produce baby plantlets (spiderettes) make it an attractive addition to homes, offices, and indoor gardens. This resilient plant is also one of the best air-purifying plants, making it a favorite for improving indoor air quality.

Care Instructions:

1. Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate low light. Avoid prolonged direct sun exposure, which can scorch the leaves.

2. Watering: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Keep soil slightly moist but avoid overwatering. Reduce watering in winter.

3. Soil: Well-draining potting mix with peat moss or perlite for aeration.

4. Temperature & Humidity: Thrives in 65-80°F (18-27°C). Prefers moderate humidity but adapts well to dry indoor air.

5. Pruning: Trim yellow or brown leaves and remove baby plantlets if necessary to maintain shape.

6. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring & summer).

7. Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years when the plant outgrows its pot.

8. Pest Control: Generally pest-resistant but can occasionally attract spider mites or aphids. Wipe leaves with a damp cloth and use neem oil if needed.

The Spider Plant is a hardy, decorative, and air-purifying plant that enhances any indoor space with its lush greenery and trailing beauty. A must-have for plant lovers!
