What kind of soil does a spider plant like?

#SpiderPlant
7” pot

I use Miracle Grow, which is just the regular one. They seem real happy there in that soil.
@FreeAgapanthus ~ I have mine in a succulent/cactus mix and it’s flowering right now πŸ₯°β™₯️πŸ₯°
Spidrrs typically aren't very fussy about soil tbh πŸ’š They're some of the easiest going plants I have (I do have a few divas! 🀣). I use a mix of coir, perlite and zeolite (which is like vermiculite 2.0 lol). They like to be tightly bound in their pot, lots of bright (indirect) light and let them dry out at least 50% before you water (they're prone to rot because they have these water filled sacks on the roots, and to gnats, which love damp soil!). So fast draining soil is key.

Daphne looks very happy though.! πŸ₯°πŸ’š Xx
Hey hey!! I make my own soil and just tweak per plant. My base is happy frog and then add perlite, orchid bark, grit, charcoal and a systematic. I love love tradescantias and the family!
i use succulent/cactus mix! if you don’t have that, you can always mix in a bit of perlite with basic houseplant soil. spider plants prefer well draining soil :)
