My 2nd Bonnie spider plant. Want to make sure I get this right this time. The first one quit on me due to over-watering. How does she like to be Watered? Does she like it somewhat dry? According to my research, she's one of the "easy ones" but I noticed that the "easy ones" are the hardest for me 😅. Thanks for the advises in advance!
Mine like a lot of drainage and watering about once a week; I wait until the soil doesn’t stick to my finger when I poke into it.
2개 좋아요 Ok, thanks! I did a stick poking and there's some dirt in it a bit. I'm tempted to water her now but having doubts, lol. You know as they say, when in doubt, wait. 😂

They do like to dry out completely, I water mine like every few weeks

I agree with what everyone has said! I have a Bonnie who is one of my oldest plants, and she definitely handles underwatering like a champ! Also, her leaves grew less “curly” over time and now she looks like a regular spider plant, even though she was super curly as a little plant! I was just wondering if anyone else noticed this with theirs?

This happened to mine too! I propagated mine from a shoot off a larger plant, and that one was super curly even though it was big. I suspect I’m under-watering mine… or under-sunning it… I might move her under a grow light and see if she gets her curls back!

I have a moisture meter. They have digital ones and analogs. I have the analog and have had it for years. Both are really cheap and take the guesswork out of whether your plant needs to be watered or not. Highly recommend

In my experience they do like the soil to dry out a bit. Also the leaves fade to a paler washed out green when they are thirsty.
