Got a spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum)? These guys are famously easy to care for, making them perfect for beginners! But even low-maintenance plants need a little love.
**Light:** Bright, indirect sunlight is key. Avoid harsh, direct sun which can scorch their leaves. A spot near an east or west-facing window is ideal.
**Watering:** Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Don't let them sit in soggy soil, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in the winter.
**Humidity:** Spider plants appreciate humidity, but they're not super picky. Occasional misting or placing them near a humidifier is a bonus.
**Soil:** Well-draining potting mix is essential. A standard houseplant mix works great.
**Propagating:** Those little "spiderettes" (baby plants) dangling from the mother plant? Snip them off and pot them in soil! Easy peasy!
With a little attention, your spider plant will thrive and reward you with air-purifying goodness and adorable baby spiders. Happy growing!
