Treating Fungus on Spider Plant: Lysol Spray and Cultural Fixes

Symptoms

Green waxy or white powdery coating on leaves suggests fungal infection, often worsened by overwatering and low light.

Treatment

• Spray daily with Lysol (aerosol) for 2 weeks.
• Reduce watering: water thoroughly every 7–10 days, let dry well between.
• Move to sunniest window possible.
• Do NOT repot—spider plants prefer being root-bound and produce more "babies" that way.

Prevention

Good airflow, bright light, and dry soil surface between waterings prevent recurrence.
