# Spider plant woes -I recently repotted this guy and he’s just so sad…

_Posted by EllenLikesPlants on 2025-08-21_

Spider plant woes -I recently repotted this guy and he’s just so sad and droopy. I have others that are nice and tall. Is it just too big to be tall? Is there something I should to help it be taller? He’s at my work, near artificial light, not really getting any natural light.  
Thanks plant friends!!

I put mine outside for a few days and she pops right back, looking beautiful

Ok! I could move it to a coworkers office for a few days that has light.

That would work 🤗

Looks like it’s lacking sunlight

I moved it to a different office with light for a few days so hoping that helps. I had this spider plant initially in the same spot when it was much smaller so it must have been fine for a bit without much light. Now it wants some again!

My spider plant, Itsy, looked like that last week. I added a clip on full spectrum grow light and All her leaves are perky again. I just set the light on an 8 hr timer. From flat to perky is after 2 days. Here is the photo. She is even more glorious today on the 5th day.
