Wilting Spider Plant? Fix Water, Light, Fertilizer & Pot Size

Why Spider Plants Wilt

Water Issues

• Underwatering (summer): Soil shouldn't dry out completely.
• Overwatering: Soggy soil causes wilting + yellowing. Let top inch dry between waterings. Winter: water lightly, less often.

Light & Heat

• Too much sun: Move to bright indirect light. Soak rootball 15 mins if severely wilted.
• Too little light: Move closer to window.

Fertilizer

Feed balanced fertilizer every 2 weeks in summer, less in winter. Deficiency causes droop.

Rootbound

Roots out drainage holes? Repot to larger container, water and feed well.

Spider plants bounce back quickly once the issue is corrected.
