Spider Plant Root Rot and Fungus Gnats: Light and Watering Fixes

Brown Roots and Gnats = Overwatering

Spider plants need bright light (all-day sun ideal) and thorough drying between waterings.

Fixes

• Open blinds/curtains all day.
• Water only when pot feels light (dry). Heavy = wet.
• Let soil dry well; gnats disappear when top layer stays dry.
• Roots recover if rot isn’t advanced.

Floor Vents

Hot/cold air from returns can dry plants unevenly. Monitor moisture by weight, not schedule.
