Care Guide:

• Light: Spider Plant 'Bonnie' thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some low light, the plant's growth may slow down, and the variegation in the leaves might become less pronounced. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause the leaves to scorch.
• Watering: Water when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch. Spider Plants like to dry out a bit between waterings but don’t let them stay too dry for long periods. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so make sure the plant has good drainage. Use room-temperature water and avoid using fluoridated water, as it can cause browning of the leaf tips.
• Humidity: Spider Plant 'Bonnie' is fairly adaptable and can tolerate average humidity levels. However, it will thrive in higher humidity, so misting or using a humidity tray can help if your home is particularly dry.
• Soil: Use a well-draining, lightweight potting mix. Spider Plants don’t like to sit in water, so ensure your pot has adequate drainage holes.
• Fertilizer: Feed the plant once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer. You can reduce fertilization during the fall and winter months when the plant is not actively growing.
• Temperature: Spider Plants prefer temperatures between 60–75°F (15–24°C). They can tolerate a range of temperatures but should be kept away from drafts or extreme temperature fluctuations.
• Pruning: Trim off any dead or brown leaves to keep the plant looking tidy. If the plant starts to get too leggy, you can trim back the long, trailing stems to encourage new growth. Regular pruning also helps maintain its full, bushy appearance.
