The ends of my spider plant turned orange yellow. Is it getting too much of something or too little?

Does this mean my plant needs more light, or less?

You're over-watering your plant. Yellowish leaves mean that the roots have been drowned, and can no longer take up nutrients, so the plant starts to get "soggy" and die. If the leaves start to turn brown and "crispy," then it's getting too dry. For spider plants, the soil should be moist, but not wet, and it should NEVER sit in water for more than an hour.





Until it's better, don't give it direct sunlight, but bright, indirect light, or fluorescent lighting.
Reply:Its the fluoride in the water. Water your Spider Plant with filtered water, bottled water, rain water, or (maybe) water that has set out for a week or two.
Reply:Yellowing leaves can be a sign of either too much water or too little. If too much then the leaves start to go mushy, if too little, then they start going dry and brittle. Make sure it's not pot-bound (how long since you last re-planted it with fresh dirt?) and getting fertilized properly during growing season.
Reply:Probably due to often due to overfeeding or overwatering.





They like a well drained soil ~ make sure the planter has holes in the bottom and the saucer does not collecting, water when the soil surface feels dry. Feed once a month using liquid plant food or use time released food according to driections.
Reply:Are you watering it enough? Overwatering it? Is it potbound and in need of dividing? It can live fine with lots of light but no sun.
