Droopy
#SpiderPlant
We moved a few weeks ago and since then my spider plants have been having a hard time! This one is dropping over to the side. Do I need a bigger pot? More or less light? Otherwise I could just keep her propped up on my kindl 😅

Moving can definitely stress spider plants, and winter doesn’t help either. Drooping is usually from lower light or root disturbance, not pot size. Give it bright indirect light, water consistently while letting the soil dry a bit between waterings, and avoid dry heat or cold drafts. Propping it up for now is totally fine—it should perk up as it settles in.
@EmilysGrowasis mine does this too mostly trying to get to the sun. I just rotate it and it usually flops the other direction. Mine is getting big, so I’m guessing it’s about time to repot.
Since Denver water isn’t always yummy, your plant might want distilled; but your plant seems pretty happy so I’m guessing you have already figured out a water solution.
And even though it’s winter and not the growing season mine keeps kicking off pups and flowers, so I water with a bit of fertilizer mixed in just to keep the nutrients flowing.
I’m sure it’s just adjusting to its new home, but if not, go down the list of the usual suspects:
Too much/too little water
Too much/too little sunlight
Too much/too little nutrients
Soil conditions
Temperature fluctuations (our windows are a bit drafty so even in the sun, if the wind is blowing there is a chance it’s reaching the plants near our windows)
And Bugs!!
You know your plant best so keep up the great work and I’m sure Daphne will come through the move just fine!
Best wishes and grow on!!
