I think it was kept outside and now its living in my kitchen in the bay window. I can't put it out in the back yard b/c the dog will eat it (bad dog) and in the front I have full sunlight. It was given to me and it is huge and gorgeous, I don't want it to die.
I know that you can start them by putting them in water, but is it possible to overwater? It looks like it is drying up,so I water it, and the next day water it. and again...
Spider plant dying please help?
I have one and they don't need watered that much. I put mine in part sun. It is inside and sets infront of a window. I only water it about every week and a half. When it looks like it's starting to dry out. If the ends get brown just tear them back to the green. Mine has a lot of starts on it and that's how I take care of it. :)
Reply:I'd bet it needs more light and less water.. plants don't need water everyday. It could be rootbound also...
Reply:spider plants are plants that survive on abuse so when I see it sort of wilting I water , when the weather is hot I water more- just as long as it doesnt sit in standing water and you let it dry out between watering's and I agree it could be root bound so it could need to be transplanted-when you transplant do not put it in a pot that is more than two inches bigger that it is right now.I like miracle grow potting soil because it feeds it too for the first few months-when you transplant pick a cooler maybe even cloudy day so the shock to the plant is limited-even better there is a great product miracle grow puts out for transplanting I use it on all of my bedding vegtable and house plants it's called quick start not only does it prevent it from going into shock it stimulates the roots to get them growing faster-I swear by this stuff and I buy it at walmart for about 8.00 dollars a jug-good luck!
Reply:yep check to make sure the roots have enough space in the pot if they dont repot it
as well it could be too much water and not enough light it could be the opposite...water twice a week, repot it and see what happens
