# Hey guys! My spider plants looking a bit floppy, is this caused by…

Hey guys! My spider plants looking a bit floppy, is this caused by underwatering or something else? I last watered on Saturday so 4-5 days ago and the soil seemed bone dry on top today so I gave it a little drink, hoping that will fix the issue but I’m not sure if that’s it? It wasn’t like this yesterday, any help welcome:)

Spider plants can use more water than you might think. I usually water every couple days.

The drooping might also be due to a change in the amount of light. I have mine under a bright light and when I take them away from that the heavier blades bend like that.

I actually think it might be over-watered. Their roots are tuberous and hold a lot of water - here’s a pic!

So I make sure that the soil is completely dry before watering and it’s been happy 🌱
