Spider Plant Variegated Information
About The Spider Plant Variegated
The Spider Plant’s easy-going nature and green and white striped foliage make it one of the most popular houseplants around. It gets its name from the baby plants, or spiderettes, that dangle down from a mature mother plant like spiders on a web. Despite its creepy-crawly name, the Spider Plant is a lush, easy-care pick perfect for bringing life to your space.
- Each plant is unique; size and shape fluctuate by season so all measurements are shown as a range
- Small plant measures between 4-6 inches tall from bottom of the grow pot to the top of the foliage
- Arrives in a nursery grow pot nestled in your planter choice
Sizing Guide

Approximately 5" in diameter, fits plants in a 4" grow pot or smaller
Medium
Approximately 7" in diameter, fits plants in a 6" grow pot or smaller
Large

Watering Requirements
Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.
Sunlight Requirements
Thrives in bright indirect light, but can tolerate medium indirect light.
Humidity Requirements
Normal room humidity can work, but Spider plants can benefit from higher humidity conditions. Consider incorporating a humidifier to boost humidity levels more consistently if the air in the home is dry.
Pet-Friendly Plant?
Yes, this plant is safe for homes with pets.
Why are my Spider Plant leaves turning brown at the tips?
Brown tips on spider plants can be caused by chemical buildup from tap water over time, low humidity, and underwatering. You can easily fix these issues by switching to filtered water or leaching the soil out periodically to remove mineral buildup. Raising the surrounding humidity with a humidifier and maintaining a consistent watering schedule will also prevent the leaf tips from drying out and crisping.
How do you propagate Spider Plant babies (spiderettes)?
Spider plants can be easily propagated by clipping the baby plantlets and submerging their roots or base in a jar of water until they reach one inch long before potting. Alternatively, you can just root them directly into a new pot with moist potting mix and place them in an area that gets bright light and higher humidity.
