Watered with distilled only ⅚ ## 14件のコメント ### Sarahさんが2026-02-22にコメントしました Mine was gifted to me in a self watering pot last year and it’s still alive. That’s about all I know about spider plants. LOL. I just refill the pot when it runs out. ### Melさんが2026-02-22にコメントしました I manage to keep philodendrons, monsteras, Alocasia's, succulents, some of which are known to be drama queens and difficult...but I can't keep a spider plant alive ### Nicholeさんが2026-02-22にコメントしました What do you mean when you say going down hill? Any chance of a pic so can try help you establish what's happening with it #### Melさんが2026-02-22に返信しました Yellowing and then die/drop. ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/QVtI6Ufhp-w-W2kfLn1ERQAjwRBKj7qlnO-W4H4S_3k/Ar1rKGGhTl-uj37Ou9H_Aw.webp?size=large) ### Melさんが2026-02-22にコメントしました This is what it looked like when I bought it ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/QVtI6Ufhp-w-W2kfLn1ERQAjwRBKj7qlnO-W4H4S_3k/r3P9B1JKTb6PBGiU7qouZA.webp?size=large) #### Daniさんが2026-02-23に返信しました Hmmm, yes this looks quite healthy and even has one baby. Are you still keeping it in that window? If so, is the window normally open and what temperature do you guys get? ### wh1tem1lkyさんが2026-02-23にコメントしました Mine needs a lot of light. And after fertilizing I noticed it looked so much better. I had to get her a grow light even lol ### Dot2462さんが2026-02-23にコメントしました I can’t keep them alive, so good luck to you. ### StormLoverさんが2026-02-23にコメントしました I've killed 3. I have 3 more are good. I water when it dries up 95%. They are about 3' from an east window. Hope this is helpful. ### Daniさんが2026-02-23にコメントしました Wow, I can’t believe I’m actually on the other side of one of these posts. Usually, I’m like same, killed 12. But have a spider plant Bonnie ( the curly ones ) / the mother plant, who has grown so well in my kitchen window that I’ve made a second Bonnie for upstairs, one in a hanging basket for my living room, and gifted one to my mom. Seeing as how they’re all in different stages and all in different sized pots and physical locations, I’m flabbergasted to read that people can’t keep them alive. But I’m not bragging because I’ve also killed sooooo many “impossible to kill” plants 🤣 Is overwatering or extreme root bound a possibility? #### Daniさんが2026-02-23に返信しました This little one is hanging in a pot, probably 15 feet away from a window over a wall heater going full blast. (so obviously completely different from the mother plant in a direct kitchen window). They’re all in basic dirt, tap water, fertilized once I think? I’m confused. 🤔 ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/NPEisyL3xoS47qG1VGRbSyMEYNbpvCsvYEIXvPB8j4I/gcfZXR3KRmWDlvuQbsSKBA.webp?size=large) ### Melさんが2026-02-23にコメントしました The healthy picture was when it was first bought as an office warming gift. Its since been brought home due to no heat issues at his office. Its been in my front window with many philodendrons and alocasia plants, to several feet from another window with more philos and alocasia under lights... Ive unpotted to check roots, cleaned them up some... I just can't figure them out!! Ive left her be where she is under some lights near my peace lily, hoya, baby rubber and red congo philo... lol.. if she dies I think im just going to throw my white flag. Haha ### EllenLikesPlantsさんが2026-02-23にコメントしました I’m with a previous poster - shocked I’m keeping mine alive if so many others have issues! I have one at home that gets a little light, not much. I have another one at work that just gets office artificial light. I water according to planta for the office one. Sometimes it’s droopy and not sturdy. But otherwise it’s been good!
