Simple Steps On How To Grow And Care For Spider Plants

Spider plants are among the easiest houseplants to grow. They are well-known for producing numerous plantlets. Let's explore how to grow spider plants

Spider plants are easy to propagate. Once they have their roots, detach a decent-sized offset and add it to pots.

Spider plants grow well individually in pots or in hanging pots, where their spidery offsets are best appreciated.
