Spider plant tips keep drying out? It's not that it's hard to grow, you're just watering it wrong

When it comes to the spider plant, everyone must be familiar with it. The spider plant's decorative value and air-purifying effect are extraordinarily good, and it is precisely for this reason that this plant has built a lasting reputation and become so popular.

That said, although many people grow spider plants, not many actually grow them well and get them to thrive. Watering in particular - who knows how many beginners have stumbled over this one step. No wonder people always say that when it comes to growing flowers, fertilizer is three parts and water is seven.

Today Huahua is here to tell you how the spider plant should be watered.

Spider plants cannot be watered every day - beginners, please repeat this sentence three times. Although spider plants like a humid environment, even in summer they cannot be watered every day. Normally it is enough to keep the potting soil of the spider plant moist, but it must never be overly wet. Anyone with even a little gardening knowledge knows that once the soil is too wet, it can very likely cause problems such as root rot in the plant.

In summer, water the spider plant once every 3-5 days; in winter you can extend the interval appropriately, watering about once every ten days or so. At other times, water the spider plant once a week.

Normally we can also spray the spider plant's leaves clean with fresh water, which both keeps the leaves clean and keeps them moist.

Actually, Huahua also has a little trick to share with everyone: besides fresh water, you can also water the spider plant with other kinds of water, and the effect may be twice as good with half the effort. This kind of water is fermented soybean water. Everyone knows that many people put a few soybeans into the soil during a plant's growing season, letting the soybeans serve as fertilizer to provide nutrients to the plant - the principle is actually the same.

Soybeans contain a large amount of amino acids and can be used as organic fertilizer. Compared with compound fertilizer, organic fertilizer is much more natural and works quite well. When making fermented soybean water, we need to boil the soybeans, then let the boiled soybean water cool completely and put it in a bottle to ferment for a few days. Once the soybean water has fermented, it can be used to water the flowers.

Fermented soybean water is acidic, and the spider plant is a plant that likes acidic soil, so the two are a perfect match. Watering with fermented soybean water can make the spider plant grow lush and green, with glossy leaves too!

When the spider plant is growing vigorously, we can also cut off the newly grown plantlets and set them aside for a little propagation by cuttings - making the spider plant fill its pot is no dream!

Has everyone learned how to water the spider plant and the little tricks that help it grow that Huahua shared today? Watering with fermented soybean water really has more than just a few benefits - go ahead and give it a try when you have a moment!
