This plant was doing so poorly. I had it in our shower with a north facing window. I thought it would enjoy the humidity but its leaves became droopy and almost wet like. The soil it was in was hydrophobic. I gave her a repot in quality soil and put her in an East facing window. Within a week of doing this she BLOOMS and starts to push out babies. I'm amazed. Second to Last photo was her two weeks ago.

Cute 😁

I love it when my curly Bonnie Spiderplant flowers, no scent that bothers me \& you’ll have lots of babies 😂

If it helps my momma plant does best in an east or west facing window a few ft away, with bright indirect light..

Direct sun burns her leaves

Spider plants are survivors. Their thick roots give us a chance to figure out their needs while they patiently wait!😁
