Placement & care
About this plant
Spider Plant forms a clump of narrow leaves that arch out from the centre. Use it on a shelf or in a raised planter where the leaves can spread naturally. A mature plant may send out long stems carrying small plantlets.
Light Provide moderate to bright indirect light. Avoid strong direct sun on the leaves.
Water Water when the surface starts to dry and let excess water drain. Avoid leaving the pot standing in water.
Planning your space
Common questions
Yes. The arching leaves work well where they can fall freely. Share the proposed height and fixing arrangement with your enquiry.
