FAQs

How often should I water my Spider Plant?

Generally, once a week is sufficient. Always check the soil; if the top 2-3cm feels dry, it is time to water.

Is this plant safe for my cat?

Yes, the Spider Plant is non-toxic and safe to keep in homes with curious pets.

Does the pot have drainage holes?

The plant comes in its nursery pot placed inside the decorative ceramic pot. We recommend removing the nursery pot to water it to avoid water pooling at the bottom.

How do I grow the baby plants?

You can pin the 'spiderettes' into a small pot of soil while they are still attached, or cut them off and place the base in water until roots appear.

Can I keep this in a dark room?

While it can survive in lower light, it prefers bright, indirect light. It will not grow well in a room with no natural light sources.

How large will the plant grow?

In a 12cm pot, the plant will maintain a manageable size, but the arching leaves can extend up to 30-45cm in length as it matures.

Troubleshooting

Leaf tips turning brown

Increase humidity or ensure the water you use is not heavily chlorinated; tap water left out overnight can help dissipate chlorine.

Plant looks pale or loses variegation

Move the plant to a brighter location with more indirect light.

Leaves are limp or yellowing

This is often a sign of overwatering. Ensure the soil is allowed to dry out before watering again.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Your Spider Plant arrives ready to display in its Matt Black Ceramic Pot. To ensure long-term health, follow these guidelines:

  1. Placement: Select a spot with bright, indirect light. Avoid direct, harsh afternoon sun which can scorch the leaves.
  2. Watering: Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings. Use a saucer if you find water pooling in the bottom of the pot, though the included ceramic container is designed for decorative appeal.
  3. Temperature: Maintain room temperatures between 15°C and 25°C. Avoid placing the plant directly in the path of cold drafts or heater vents.
  4. Maintenance: Trim back any dead or damaged leaf tips with clean scissors. If the plant produces baby spiderettes, leave them attached for a fuller look or snip them off to root in water and start new plants.
