Spider Plant Hanging Basket
Chlorophytum comosum

How to care for Spider Plant Hanging Basket
Light. Bright to moderate indirect light. It tolerates deep shade but not direct sun.
Water. Let the top inch of soil dry briefly between waterings, and water less in winter. Fluoride in tap water burns the leaf tips, so rainwater or distilled water is best.
Soil and feeding. Feed lightly; too much fertilizer cuts down the baby plantlets. Repot yearly while young, then every other year, using a mix such as Potting Soil.
Size. About 1 ft tall and 1–2 ft wide, with runners cascading over the basket edge.
Problems to watch. No significant pests. It does best between 55°F and 80°F, so protect it from frost.
Good to know. Plantlets form on long runners when nights are long. Pot them up for new plants, and trim runners before they root into the ground. It is non-toxic to cats and dogs.
