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. When watering, allow ten percent of what is applied to leach from the bottom of the pot, and remove any excess water from the saucer. With proper care, flower stalks will sprout from the base of a healthy spider plant.
Small plantlets develop at the point of attachment of each flower.
To root plantlets for new plants, remove them from the main plant and place them in water. Permission is hereby given to duplicate this Plant talk Colorado TM script as is if credit is given to the sources.
