# I’ve had my spider plant for over a month now, and I can’t help but…

_Posted by nyon on 2025-10-22_

I’ve had my spider plant for over a month now, and I can’t help but think it looks a bit sad. I’ve never owned one before, but the leaves are warped and furling inwards in lots of places, and there’s also strange nicks and bits that have gone crispy despite me not noticing any damage when I originally bought it. I’ve been following Planta’s watering instructions so I don’t think it’s that, and there’s no bugs on it from what I’ve seen. Is this from too much sun? Too little? What can I do to help it thrive? Thank you!  
(Sorry for the poor image, I wanted to show as many of the areas of damage as possible within in the one picture limit.)

I’m sharing this pic from the planta app… it may be a fertilizing issue…
