Planting

For spider plants grown at home, you can use good leaf mold or organic nutrient soil that has been fully fermented at high temperature. Some people also like to use seedling substrate mixed with garden soil, sand, etc. When potting, you need to choose good soil, and the roots must all be distributed into the soil, then water once to settle the roots, and place in a cool place for 7~10 days.

Fertilizing

Within 7~10 days after just transplanting, no? fertilizing is needed, only watering. After 2 new leaves appear, normal management can begin! Apply a light fertilizer once every 7 days, using it when watering. In the early stage, you can increase nitrogen fertilizer, and in the later stage use potassium dihydrogen phosphate. During high summer temperatures, you can stop fertilizing or fertilize sparingly, and pay attention to shading. In the north, you need to increase water and humidity, which helps reduce yellowing of leaf tips.

Watering = watering the soil + spraying the leaves. Because watering the soil cannot increase humidity; only spraying the leaves can effectively increase humidity. Scientific watering is a good way to prevent spider plant leaf tips from turning yellow and black.
