Plant Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as this can scorch its leaves.
💧 Water: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, as Spider Plants do not like to sit in wet soil.
🌱 Soil: Use well-draining potting soil. A mix with perlite is ideal for good drainage.
🌡 Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 60°F - 75°F (15°C - 24°C). Keep it away from drafts and extreme temperatures.
🧰 Maintenance: Trim off any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain a clean, healthy appearance. Remove "babies" from the main plant if desired.
📏 Size: Grows up to 12-18 inches tall, and can spread up to 24 inches wide when well-cared for.
