How often should you water spider plants?

The watering conditions for Chlorophytum comosum are different throughout the year. In spring and autumn, it is generally watered every 1-2 days. In summer, the temperature is higher, so the watering frequency can be more frequent, watering once in the morning and evening every day.

However, when the temperature in winter is below 5℃, we should stop watering, but if it is spent in winter at room temperature, then watering once a week is sufficient.

The correct way to water spider plants

In summer, the temperature is high and the water evaporates quickly, so you can increase the frequency of watering and sprinkle water on the spider plant to ensure the surrounding air humidity. Since the indoor ventilation effect is relatively weak and the light is not very sufficient, the soil is always moist. At this time, you should reduce the frequency of watering. The water poured outdoors will dry up quickly, so you need to replenish water in time.

When watering spider plants, you should also pay attention to the time. In spring and autumn, it is generally sufficient to water them during the day. In summer, you should avoid the high temperature at noon and water them in the early morning and evening. In winter, the light in the afternoon is relatively strong, so you should water them at noon. This can reduce stimulation to the roots and help them absorb nutrients.

Overwatering of spider plants

If you water the spider plant too much, it will cause poor growth in the long run, such as yellow leaves, withered leaves, rotten roots, etc. At this time, you should repot the spider plant as soon as possible and cut off the rotten roots. You can place it in a well-ventilated and well-lit place, and loosen the soil to allow the water to evaporate quickly.
