# Help? I know my spider plant is doing fine, but I’m slightly…

Help? I know my spider plant is doing fine, but I’m slightly concerned about the little brown ends on said plant. Should I pay attention, or is it fine? FYI, it’s occasionally doesn’t get sunlight for a day or two, when I forget to open blinds.

It looks very pale and wilted, maybe it also has to do with watering?

I should maybe add more water to the cycle.

Good luck!

It’s struggling. The brown tips are only one indication. Wilting and pale color are other indications, as mentioned. Lighting may be one issue. But, spider plants can take lower light. Insufficient watering, low humidity, lack of fertilizer and possibly soil issues could exist.

Ensure its in a well draining pot while watering. Don’t water in a pot without a drain holes which leads to root rot. Let the water run all the way through. You can put it back in a pot without drain holes afterwards.

Fertilize with diluted liquid fertilizer or Osmocote timed release fertilizer or similar.

Add a humidifier or Place on a pebble tray filled with water to increase humidity.

Needs 6 hours of indirect light each day to maintain the true colors or add an inexpensive grow light.

My plants in a north facing kitchen window.  
Good luck. 🍀
