Planting & Care
To root your unrooted Spider Plant cuttings, place them in a glass of water or directly into a small pot filled with moist, well-draining potting mix. Keep the cuttings in a warm spot with bright, indirect light. If rooting in water, change the water every few days to keep it fresh. Roots typically develop within a few weeks. Once roots are established, transplant into a larger pot if needed.
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, reducing frequency in winter. Spider Plants appreciate occasional misting but are tolerant of average indoor humidity. Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during the growing season. Remove any brown tips by trimming with clean scissors.
