How to fertilize Green Orange Spider Plant
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Green Orange Spider Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I’m wondering what happened here?? I got this former beauty queen in February this year. They were new to the market then. Oddly, a relative of spider plants. She was my easy plant. She survived a fungal infection, even flowered for me. But god forbid I let her go dry & she does THIS to me 😳😭 Anyone else have this happen? I read that they can go dormant. So for now that is my theory. Cold weather + Dry soil = Dormancy for some plants. THE GOOD NEWS IS.. she is growing new leaves! #GreenOrangeSpiderPlant #PlantAddict #Dormancy #NewGrowth #ChlorophytumOrchidastrum #fireflash

Is this identification correct? #GreenOrangeSpiderPlant

Hi Planty Peeps, I just bought & repotted this Chlorophytum plant and was wondering if it’s ok to put a soil topper on? I have Maifanitum and river rocks. I also have a bag of dried moss but it has a lot of dye. I could soak and rinse first. It just looks naked rn and I’m afraid my cats might dig. #planthelp #SpiderPlant #Chlorophytum #PlantAddict #AlwaysRoomFor1or7more

As I was replanting a new friend, I noticed tiny spiders all over the roots. Harmful? If so, what do I do? Will they move in my apartment?

To trim or not to trim? Just bought this Mandarin Spider Plant. This big brown spot was prominent on the biggest leaf fresh out of the store. Would you trim off that bit it or let it chill?

Browning tips? This guy seems to be unhappy. Picked up from the plant store only a few weeks ago but the tips are going brown and the little buds in the center are too. Any suggestions? #
