Although they can withstand occasional temperatures as low as 40 degrees, it is best to avoid cold temperatures whenever possible. Move spider plants a few feet from the window to protect them during the cold season. There is no strict rule for watering spider plants. Keep the soil evenly moist, but don't over water. Water spider plants in response to plant demands, which depend on the type and size of plant, container size, and stage of growth.
Check plants each day and water only if the soil is dry.
Fertilize spider plants with a complete, soluble fertilizer for houseplants. Fertilize once every two months if your plant is growing in an area with high light, and once every three months in medium light. Refer to the manufacturer's recommendations to determine the appropriate amount of fertilizer to use. Leaf tip burn is a problem common to spider plants, and is usually the result of too much fertilizer, or water that is high in soluble salts. To avoid leaf tip burn, do not allow plants to become excessively dry.
