A detailed guide to the latest repotting method for variegated spider plants, easy to learn at a glance

Spider plants are not only beautiful and attractive, but can also purify the air, bringing a lovely freshness to indoor spaces, and are especially suitable for growing in pots at home and in the office. Fellow plant lovers can repot them as needed, and repotting can be done in spring.

For potted variegated spider plants, in terms of care, in order to achieve lush stems and leaves, they are generally repotted once every 2-3 years, and the soil and pot should be changed in March each year. If the pot is relatively deep and the base fertilizer is sufficient, they can be repotted once every two years.

When repotting, knock the plant out of the pot, cut off the withered and rotted roots and excess roots, replace with new culture soil rich in humus, and then apply livestock hoof and horn pieces or decomposed cake fertilizer as base fertilizer. After planting, place it in a semi-shady, warm spot to recover.

The optimum growth temperature for variegated spider plants is around 25°C. After the plant resumes vigorous growth, hang the pot under a corridor eave or in a suitable indoor position. Generally, the height should be such that it does not bump your head, and attention should be paid to ventilation.

It is recommended to water the potted variegated spider plant thoroughly before repotting, so that the soil will not be too hard, and then repot on a cool day. Be careful with your movements and do not damage the roots. Water thoroughly and place in a cool place.

When repotting, remove part of the old soil, trim the excess root hairs slightly, and cut off the dead roots and yellowed leaves, keeping only the new young root buds. Then prepare the culture soil again, and replace it with culture soil made by mixing three parts leaf mold and seven parts sandy soil. Place 2-3 pieces of crushed bone at the bottom of the pot. During the growing season, apply a dilute fertilizer solution once every 10-14 days, mainly nitrogen fertilizer.

Because spider plants have very developed root systems, the inside of the pot will be slowly filled with roots, so if you only want to change the soil for your spider plant, you can turn the spider plant out, gently knock off the old soil from the roots, and then replant it.

If you want to repot the spider plant and do not care whether the soil is changed, you can keep as much of the original soil as possible, put a little base fertilizer in each pot first, and plant two to three plants per pot, which is safer.
