How often should you water your spider plant?

Chlorophytum likes humidity, but the plant has fleshy roots and is relatively drought-resistant. During normal maintenance, you can often press the soil lightly with your fingers. If it feels moist, there is no need to water it. You can usually follow the principle of watering when the soil is dry and when it is wet.

During the maintenance period, spider plants generally need to be watered every three days, but the specific amount of watering needs to be determined according to seasonal changes. Just pay attention to keeping the soil slightly moist.

1. Watering in spring

The climate in spring is stable, and it is also the peak growth period for spider plants. Generally, they need to be replenished with water every 1-2 days.

2. Watering in summer

After entering summer, the ambient temperature will rise, and the frequency of watering can be a little more frequent, watering once in the morning and evening every day.

3. Watering in autumn

The climate in autumn is as fragrant as in spring, but the temperature has gradually dropped. You can water the spider plant every 1-2 days, but the specific amount depends on the growth status of the plant.

4. Watering in winter

When the temperature becomes very low in winter, you need to stop watering the spider plant. If the indoor temperature can be kept above 12℃, watering it once a week is sufficient.

What kind of water is good for spider plants

1. Rice washing water

If you want the spider plant to grow more vigorously, you can use composted rice water to water the flowers. This can replenish nutrients in the soil. Generally, it can be used 1-2 times a month.

2. Fish tank water

There are also many nutrients and organic matter in the fish tank water. If you use it to water the spider plant, it is very suitable for the plant to absorb and can be used directly.
