Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the potting mix to dry slightly between waterings.
Water thoroughly, allowing 50-75% of the soil to dry before watering again. Reduce frequency in low light and winter.
Prefers infrequent watering; allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Drought-tolerant, sensitive to overwatering.
Prefers the soil to dry out between waterings. Water roughly every 1-2 weeks, adjusting for light and temperature conditions.
Thrives in bright, indirect light but can adapt to lower light conditions. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves.
Prefers temperatures between 60°F to 80°F (15°C to 26°C). Avoid exposure to temperatures below 50°F (10°C) as it can harm the plant.
Grows best in higher humidity but can tolerate average home humidity levels. Mist occasionally for optimal health.
Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix to encourage health and growth.
Prefers well-watered soil but not soggy. Allow the top 50% of soil to dry before the next watering. Somewhat drought tolerant and forgiving of occasional missed watering.
Prefers evenly moist soil without being waterlogged. It's sensitive to fluoride and salts in tap water, so use distilled or rainwater if possible.
Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Direct sun can fade the colors and damage the leaves.
Likes warm environments, typical of its native tropical habitat. Avoid temperatures below 60°F (15°C).
Thrives in high humidity. If the air is too dry, the leaf edges may brown.
Feed with a balanced fertilizer every month during the growing season (spring and summer). Do not fertilize in winter.
Repot every 1-2 years in the spring, or when the plant outgrows its pot. Use a potting mix designed for indoor plants with good drainage.
Room to move! They're known for their nyctinastic movements, meaning they move their leaves up at night and down during the day, which is a characteristic feature of plants in this genus.
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sun can scorch leaves, while low light may reduce vigor. Adaptable to various lighting conditions.
Enjoys room temperatures between 60°F to 80°F (15°C to 26°C). Protect from cold drafts and extreme heat.
Performs well in average home humidity. Higher humidity is appreciated but not required. Can benefit from misting.
Fertilize monthly during spring and summer with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Reduce frequency in fall and winter.
Prefers to be slightly root-bound. Repot every 2-3 years or when roots are crowded, using a well-draining potting mix.
Spider plants are known for producing "pups" or "spiderettes," which are baby plants that hang down from the mother plant on long stems. These can be easily propagated by placing them in soil or water until they develop their own roots.
Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate direct sunlight. Needs a few hours of sunlight to maintain health and color.
Prefers average room temperatures, 60°F to 75°F (15°C to 24°C). Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
Low humidity is adequate, typical of most home environments. Does not require additional humidity.
Fertilize sparingly, about once every 6 months during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes top-heavy or pot-bound. Use a well-draining succulent mix.
Prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can adapt to low light conditions. Avoid direct sun to prevent leaf burn.
Thrives in average room temperatures between 65-80°F (18-29°C). Avoid exposure to temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
Does well in average humidity; benefits from regular misting to replicate its tropical habitat.
Feed with a liquid fertilizer once a month during spring and summer. No fertilizer needed in winter.
Repot every 2-3 years or when roots outgrow the pot. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Prefer bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves.
Ideal temperatures range from 60-80°F. Protect from extreme heat or cold.
Thrive in high humidity, around 40-70%. Use a humidifier or pebble tray to increase humidity.
Fertilize weakly, weekly during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
Generally needed every 2-3 years or when the potting medium breaks down. Use an orchid-specific potting mix.
