How to care for 10 common spider plants? All the care methods are here

I remember the first plant I ever grew was a variegated spider plant with golden edges. It tolerates shade and drought, so you can grow it boldly and confidently, and it will produce a whole bunch of baby spider plants. Today I'm going to bring out all the common spider plants and talk about them. Take a quick look and see whether you actually know how to grow them!

Golden-edge and silver-edge spider plants

Characteristics:

The leaf edges have thin golden or silver margins.

Care tips:

Golden edge or silver edge, they are actually hard to tell apart when growing them. Give them more sun and less fertilizer, and the golden edge becomes more obvious. On the contrary, if grown in a shady spot and given lots of fertilizer, the golden edge will fade to silver, and the silver edge will fade to green~

Golden-heart and silver-heart spider plants

Characteristics:

The leaf edges are green, and the center is golden or silver.

Care tips:

The so-called golden heart and silver heart are actually just variegated states of spider plants. These two are rather difficult to grow. They need to be placed in bright, indirect light and cared for attentively, and misted promptly to keep them moist. Do not water too often, or the color will gradually disappear~

Green-leaf spider plant

Characteristics:

The leaves are all green with no markings.

Care tips:

If the green-leaf spider plant is grown poorly, it just looks like a pot of grass. Usually, pay attention to misting the leaves more to avoid dry tips and yellowing. It is best placed somewhere with scattered sunlight, not too dark. The brighter the spot, the more vigorous the growth!

Curly-leaf spider plant

Characteristics:

The leaves naturally have a "wavy curl."

Care tips:

For curly-leaf spider plants, it is best to grow several together, which gives an "explosion hairdo" effect. After misting, make sure there is good ventilation, because its leaves tend to curl together and water easily collects on them. If it does not evaporate in time, they can rot~

Pearl spider plant

Characteristics:

It is divided into two types, String of Pearls and String of Tears, and the two have differently shaped beads~

Care tips:

Both are succulents, so absolutely do not water too much. Especially when the temperature is high, you only need shade plus morning misting. After autumn begins, when the temperature drops below 23°C, consider adding a little nutrient solution or fermented rice water~

Peony spider plant

Characteristics:

The leaves are thick, and it blooms small red multi-petaled flowers.

Care tips:

The peony spider plant is the most easygoing spider plant. A cutting roots as soon as it is planted. As long as you do not water it too much, it stays evergreen all year and can bloom several times a year. For gardeners still waiting for flowers, remember to pinch it back and give it some sun, and it will immediately burst into bloom!

Goldfish spider plant

Characteristics:

The leaves are glossy green, and it can produce flowers that look like little goldfish.

Care tips:

The goldfish spider plant loves sun, and more sun can encourage it to bloom. When watering, also water thoroughly in one go, and do not splash water on the leaves, as they rot easily~ In autumn the air is dry, so you can spray water around it to keep it humid, and the leaves are sure to be glossy and shiny!

Lipstick spider plant

Characteristics:

The flowers look like lipstick, the leaves are opposite, and it trails easily.

Care tips:

The lipstick spider plant is very suitable for hanging, and it grows faster when hung up. But note that it cannot be in the sun for too long. 2-3 hours of sun a day is enough, so it can bloom indoors or on a north-facing balcony~
