- Keep the spiderettes attached to the mother plant for a while to promote bushiness.
- If removed, replant spiderettes around the base of the parent plant.
- Let spiderettes root in water for a few days before transplanting them into the soil.
Tip: Keeping the babies attached to the mother plant helps redirect energy towards thicker foliage.
7. Maintain Proper Humidity & Temperature
Spider plants thrive in moderate to high humidity and warm temperatures.
Ideal Growing Conditions:
✅ Humidity: 40-60% (use a humidifier or mist the plant occasionally).
✅ Temperature: 65-80°F (18-27°C) for optimal growth.
✅ Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
8. Rotate Your Plant for Even Growth
Spider plants tend to grow towards the light source, causing uneven growth.
How to Ensure Even Growth:
✅ Rotate the plant every few weeks to promote uniform bushiness.
✅ Ensure all parts of the plant receive equal exposure to light.
