Beginner's Guide to Watering and Repotting Spider Plants

Spider plants (Chlorophytum comosum) need bright light—ideally a sunny window year-round. Water thoroughly as soon as the soil surface feels dry; waiting for the entire pot to dry starves roots of oxygen.

Repot only when the plant dries out every day or two. The other plants you mentioned (patio tomato, strawberries, false sunflowers, Springstars) are outdoor crops and fall outside indoor plant care.

For your son's begonia, give it bright indirect light and keep the soil evenly moist. Consistency is key: water when the surface is dry, not on a fixed schedule.
