home garden tips - Spider plant

 Spider plants grow



Spider plants form rosettes of long, slender, curved leaves that vary in color from solid green or white. These easy-to-grow houseplants are especially beautiful in hanging baskets and are a favorite in Victorian-era homes. Here's how to grow spider plants in your home!


About spider plants


In summer, spider plants can produce small white flowers on long stems, as well as baby spiders (offsets) called "cubs". Puppies look like little spiders, hence the name of the plant!


Spiders were sometimes highlighted by NASA for its air purification capabilities, although more plants would be needed to get any benefits at home. Nevertheless, they are a classic and attractive plant to add to your space.


Planning


Grow in a soil-based, well-drained pot mixture. Spider plants prefer moisture; They do not like to be too dry or too wet.

Keep plants in bright and moderate indirect sunlight. Spider plants do not appreciate direct, warm sunlight, which can burn the leaves and cause brown spots and spots.

Spider plants grow very quickly and are easily bound to the pot. Plan to replant a spider plant each year.

Spiders can be grown outdoors annually during the summer. They are especially beautiful on the edge of a container or bed, as long as they are protected from direct sunlight.


Maintenance



During early growth, water occasionally; Once fully grown (within a year), moderate watering.

During the spring and summer months, keep the soil moist to encourage growth. Do not let the soil dry out too much.

Maintain an average room temperature and humidity. Spiders prefer temperatures between 55 and 80 F (13-27 C).

Fertilize twice a month in spring and summer, however, to avoid over-fertilization.


Pests / Diseases


Spider mites are prone to tip burns, which can be caused by dry soil, low humidity, or salt and salts and chemicals found in some common tap water. Keep the soil slightly moist. Avoid watering with fluoride or chlorinated water and disconnect them if brown spots occur.


To remove brown discs on the leaves, wipe off the brown residue every few days using your fingernail.

Size


Harvesting / Storage


Healthy spider plants can eventually form "puppies" that can be removed from the adult plant and replanted to start new plants. For best results, allow the pups to reach a diameter of about two inches before removing them from the mother plant.


Alternatively, place the still attached cubs in earthen pots placed near the mother plant. Once the cuttings have taken root in the soil, they can be cut loose from the mother plant.


Recommended types


The most common types are different forms:

The ‘diameter’ is green with a single white line at the center of each leaf.

‘Variegated’ is the inverse of ‘diameter’ with a white line running along the edge of each type.

Solid green varieties are also available.
