All the secrets to have a beautiful spider plant.
The phalanx , also called the spider plant, is a tropical plant native to South Africa and widely used as a houseplant and decoration.
It is evergreen and therefore very easy to grow and very tolerant even during times of neglect or forgetfulness.
- Sunlight : The Phalanx does not like direct light, it also thrives in places with cooler temperatures. Leaves that are too exposed tend to turn white and get burnt on the tips.
- Watering : The spider plant should be watered with a modest amount of water every day. The soil should never be waterlogged.
- Fertilizers : You can add natural or specific fertilizers directly to the pot once a month.
- Pruning : This is rarely necessary. What you need to do regularly is remove dry leaves instead.
- Infestation : This type of plant is susceptible to mite infestation. You can solve the problem by diffusing a solution of neem oil once a week until they disappear.
- Repotting : Only if the plant is too big for the pot can you do a simple repotting into a larger “house” so that the roots have more space.
You can simply propagate the plant through the cuttings method.
