Sun or shade. Forget to water it. Not a problem.
Placed in a bright window, it grows into a fountain of arching stalks adorned with miniature versions of itself. The plant boasts long, slender leaves that arch outwards in a cascading fashion, resembling the shape of a spider's legs, hence the name. The leaves of your spider plant will be green with white stripes along the edges, creating a striking contrast that adds a pop of color to any room.
As it grows, the plant forms a cluster of leaves that produces offshoots, creating a lush and full display. Your spider plant will arrive fully rooted in a 6 in. hanging basket that's ready to hang.
They prefer bright, indirect light and well-draining soil, making them easy to care for even for those with limited gardening experience. They can even take an hour of 2 of direct Sun in the morning. To care for your spider plant, keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, allowing the top inch or 2 of soil to dry out between waterings.
They prefer moderate humidity levels. During the growing season, you can feed your plant monthly with a balanced fertilizer.
