You can also trim spiderettes and propagate them to grow new plants!

🌾 8. Propagate for Healthier Plants

Propagating spiderettes not only gives you new plants—it also helps the mother plant redirect energy to its own growth.

Simply snip off a baby plant and place it in water or soil. Within weeks, you’ll have a rooted new spider plant ready to pot.

⚠️ 9. Watch for Brown Tips (and Know What They Mean)

Brown tips are common and usually mean:

Over-fertilizing

Fluoride or chlorine in tap water

Low humidity

To fix this, switch to filtered or distilled water, ease up on fertilizer, and boost humidity.

🧼 10. Keep the Leaves Clean

Dusty leaves can block sunlight and hinder growth. Gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks to keep them shiny, green, and photosynthesizing at full strength.
