If your variegated spider plant is fading, these 3 things weren't done right, and it's not too late to fix them now

Spider plants are a favorite green plant among many flower lovers, and there are many varieties of spider plants, including variegated spider plant, purple spider plant, silver-edged spider plant, and so on. The variegated spider plant is one that many people like quite a lot, and it is also a fairly common one. Recently some flower lovers have reported that their variegated spider plants have faded and turned into ordinary spider plants. What is going on? It is because these 3 things weren't done right, and it's not too late to fix them now!

1. Poor control of light

The variegated spider plant likes weak light. If the light is too strong or it is kept in shade for a long time, the variegation will disappear and it will turn into an ordinary spider plant. Especially now, in the heat of summer, when sunlight is very strong, the variegation will slowly disappear, and in severe cases the leaves will even be scorched. You can move it to a south-facing balcony for care, and give it a shade net with a light transmittance of 50% to weaken the light, making the variegation more obvious and the leaves more glossy.

2. Improper watering

Spider plants like a moist environment. Especially in summer, when water evaporates quickly, if water is not replenished in time, it will cause dry leaf tips and yellow leaves. But if it is too moist, the variegation will fade and disappear. Generally speaking, just water when you see signs of the potting soil turning white on the surface. Usually you can spray water mist on the leaves more often to increase humidity.

3. Poor control of fertilizing

Some flower lovers, seeing that their variegated spider plant is not growing well, apply too much nitrogen fertilizer. The final result is that although the plant becomes lush, the variegation also fades and disappears, and this situation is relatively difficult to recover from.

So when fertilizing, you must control it well. You must not be impatient and should be patient and care for it slowly. When fertilizing, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium should be balanced. You can apply some bone meal, eggshell powder, etc., or use some specialized nutrient solution.
