1. How to transplant spider plants

1. Simple transplantation: It is best to transplant spider plants in spring. When transplanting, remove the spider plants from the pot, remove the outermost layer of soil, and retain the soil attached to the roots, that is, retain the heart soil. Prepare a flowerpot that is slightly larger than the original soil ball, place the spider plant with the protective soil into the new pot, fill the gap between the flowerpot and the soil ball with soil, compact it lightly, and then water it thoroughly.

2. Division and transplantation: If you want to divide the plants while transplanting, take the spider plant out of the pot, remove the outermost layer of soil, separate the spider plants into clumps, gently shake off the soil on the roots, and keep 3-4 plants in each clump. Prepare several flower pots and plant each clump of spider plants into new potting soil. There is no need to trim the roots or dry them when planting. Just plant them directly and water them thoroughly.

2. How to care for spider plants after changing the soil

After changing the soil in the pot of spider plant and planting it, water it thoroughly. This is called rooting watering. Then place it in a place with scattered light and ventilation to slow down the pot. Never expose it to direct sunlight. After that, weigh the weight of the soil in the pot when you have nothing to do. When it feels obviously lighter, water it thoroughly. After the spider plant starts to grow, you can let the plant get appropriate sunlight. Full sunlight in winter, place it one meter away from the window in spring and autumn, and shade it from direct sunlight in summer. In an environment where the temperature is above 15℃, you can fertilize the plants frequently, apply balanced nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once every half a month, and apply thin fertilizer frequently to promote the growth of spider plants.
