Spider Plant Care in Phoenix: Keep Your Chlorophytum Thriving

Spider plants are resilient, beginner-friendly houseplants known for their arching green and white striped leaves and baby spiderettes. They adapt well to Phoenix’s indoor environments and are great for hanging baskets or desktop planters.

Light

• Bright, indirect light is ideal.

• Can tolerate medium light, but growth may slow.

• Avoid harsh direct sun which can scorch leaves.

Watering

• Water when the top inch of soil is dry.

• Summer: every 5–7 days

• Winter: every 8-12 days

• Use well-draining soil to prevent root rot.

Soil & Repotting

• Light, well-draining potting mix works best.

• Repot every 1–2 years or when roots fill the pot.

• Maricopa Botanicals offers repotting services if needed.

Propagation

• Spider plants propagate easily via offshoots (spiderettes).

• Place baby spiderettes in water or soil to grow new plants.
