Can spider plants be exposed to the sun?

Chlorophytum can be exposed to the sun. Although it has a certain shade tolerance, it does not mean that it does not need light. If you want the Chlorophytum to be more beautiful, you need to provide bright scattered light. If the maintenance environment is dark, the leaves will gradually lose their luster, the leaves will be more fragile and easy to break. On the contrary, maintaining it in the sun can make it more lush and verdant.

Chlorophytum growth light

Although spider plants need a certain amount of light to grow, long-term exposure to the sun is also very detrimental to their growth. For example, the light intensity in summer is high and the ultraviolet rays are very strong, which can easily burn the leaves, causing them to turn yellow and become irreversible. They need to be moved to a cool place indoors for maintenance, and are suitable for being placed outdoors in winter so that they can receive direct sunlight.

What to do if the spider plant wilts in the sun

When the spider plant wilts from the sun, it needs to be moved to a cooler environment or shaded and watered in time to create a relatively moist growing environment for it, and the dry branches and leaves should also be trimmed.

Generally, you need to wait for the spider plant to resume growth, and provide appropriate shade for the plant during its later maintenance to prevent it from being burned by excessive light and unable to maintain its own growth.
