# My spider plant is looking super sad. Any suggestions? I’m not sure…

_Publié par megan le 2025-01-09_

My spider plant is looking super sad. Any suggestions? I’m not sure what’s wrong and I’m not sure if it’s salvageable but I’d like to try. I’ve allowed it time to dry out mostly between waterings and it gets sunlight without being too close to the window.  
Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated!!

Check roots for rot.

It looks like the roots are nonexistent :((

Def buy a new plant and try again! These guys love well draining soil and not to be overwatered:)

I would take out of pot and remove any dead roots/leaves. Repot into a smaller pot with new soil, good drainage. Place in bright indirect light and only water when dry. 😊

Looks like you might still have a chance. Try to save it but if you can't don't be afraid to get a new one and try again. I killed four or five string of pearls before I got one to stay alive😅

And you can put it right in a window, it doesn't need to be any distance away😉

It looks over watered. They do love a wet, but for now make sure it's drying mostly out

Probably needs more light! You can put it right in the window and even outside in the shade during spring and summer! Make sure the sun is hitting the top of the pot
