How do you grow spider plants so the leaves stay emerald green and broad?

Spider plants are elegant and graceful, and almost anyone who loves growing plants will choose a spider plant to keep. Although spider plants are not hard to grow, why is it that even though you care for them the same way, other people's spider plants have bright, broad leaves, while yours grow thinner and thinner and look listless?

No need to worry. In one minute, learn the correct water and fertilizer management so your spider plant can be as beautiful as silk too.

Choosing when to repot

This is exactly the right time to repot spider plants, because spider plant roots grow very fast, so depending on how well they are growing, they need repotting about every two years.

When repotting, remove diseased and rotten roots, and also trim the tangled roots to some extent, so that all the roots can absorb nutrients and grow normally.

Choosing how to water

During the growing period, water so the potting soil stays consistently moist. Also mist the leaves often: first, to wash dust off the leaves, and second, to keep the leaves moist and prevent them from drying out. During the slow-growth period, reduce watering and keep the potting soil slightly dry, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow.

This time of year is also the best time to propagate spider plants by division. We can take the clustered stems and leaves of the spider plant and insert them directly into a pot to grow. When inserting cuttings, be careful not to bury them too deep, otherwise it will cause the heart to rot. Flower lovers who want to grow a few more pots of spider plants can hurry and take cuttings now.
