Chlorophytum Spider Plant A very common houseplant, grown as such for more than two hundred years. Numerous plantlets, (babies) develop on mature plants. These are easily rooted to propagate new plants. Tiny white unscented flowers will develop at the ends of long stems before the baby plantlets begin to grow. A very easy care plant which comes in solid green and variegated varieties. Keep the plant moderately pot bound to encourage the development of plantlets, but repot regularly to ensure adequate soil around the roots. Otherwise the plant will almost push itself up and out of the pot, making it difficult to water properly. Pinch and prune the regularly to ensure good even growth. Rotate the pot, as this plant will quickly grow toward the light source. Use baby plantlets as fast growing, cascading window box plants in summer. Light: Prefers medium to bright light, foliage will be limp and thin under lower light conditions. Too much full sun, especially in summer, will bleach and burn leaves. Low- well away from a bright window, or close to an obstructed window. Indirect light, north facing windows. Water: Medium- bright but sunless, some distance from a sunny window or close to a bright sunless window. Partial Sun– east or west facing windows, at least four hours of direct sunlight per day. Full Sun– south facing window. Full exposure, continuous sun, may be hot in summer. Water thoroughly and then allow to dry. Plant will drink large amounts of water if kept in bright light and when full of baby plantlets. Will wilt if allowed to dry out thoroughly. Allow soil to dry thoroughly between waterings. Water when soil has dried one to two inches below the surface. Water when soil has just dried on the surface. Humidity Fertilizer Soil Benefits from frequent misting. Fertilize regularly from February through October. Standard Formula. Standard good quality potting soil. More plant care tips at www.marketblooms.com Water frequently, never allowing soil to dry. Temperature Average to home temps. Minimum of 55 degrees in winter.
