Spider plants: Part 1
Spider plants are good houseplants. They are easy to grow. They help clean the air in your home.
Take care of your plant
Light
Spider plants like light. Put your plant near a window. But don't put it in direct sunlight.
Water
Keep the soil moist (a bit wet). Don't let the soil dry out.
Fertilizer (food for plants)
Fertilize your plant every 2 weeks in spring and summer.
- Use fertilizer that you mix with water. Use 20-20-20.
Repotting
Repot your plant when the roots fill the pot. Put your plant in a new pot. Add some soil.
- Use a light soil mix in your pot. The bag might say soilless potting mix or potting soil.
