# Anyone have trouble with their spider plant becoming topheavy? This…

Anyone have trouble with their spider plant becoming topheavy? This guy will flop over unless I position him just right against the wall. Wondering if it is getting leggy due to too little sunlight? Otherwise he is thriving and putting out lots of new big and healthy leaves.

My spiders are hanging, but I do have to rotate everyone weekly or they grow tilted towards the light. You can always give him a little more light to see if the new growth is more compact

My spider plants are by an east facing window with a covered porch, I rotate them every time I water them, and they flop over. I have just decided that's just how spider plants are, but maybe someone else knows differently.

They are very active and will grow towards the brightest light. Mine face the northeast. They get direct morning light and afternoon shade. There are about 5 individual plants in the photo.
