Help! My curly spider plant is getting a lot of yellow leaves and I don’t know what’s wrong. It getting a new baby but some of the plant is still dying. Please tell me any suggestions you have on how to help save my baby.

I think it’s due to not watering it the way it would like you to 🤣 it was happening to my curly spider and someone suggested putting it in the shower. I put it in my tub and held the shower over it and it was so freaking happy! Pull all of those yellow leaves right off and experiment with watering to see what yours likes. I think you’ll see a big improvement and it will start growing like crazy. Good luck 🍀

Lurking here, but yay! I’m going to try that with my spider plant! It’s not a curly one, but it’s been super pouty, and now I know why.

It took me a while to figure out my spider likes a ton of light in a south facing window and to dry out completely. You might just need to experiment with it a little!
