Light:
Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate moderate light. Avoid strong direct afternoon sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and cause the variegation to fade.

Water:
Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the soil lightly moist but avoid leaving the plant sitting in water. Allow excess water to drain freely.

Humidity:
Tolerates average household humidity but appreciates moderate humidity. Keep it away from very dry air, particularly near heaters or strong air conditioning.

Temperature:
Grows best between 18°C to 27°C. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 10–12°C.

Soil:
Use a good-quality, well-draining indoor potting mix. Adding perlite can improve drainage and airflow around the roots.

Fertiliser:
Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted balanced liquid fertiliser. Reduce feeding during autumn and winter.

Pet Friendly:
✅ Non-toxic to cats and dogs. Spider Plants are generally considered pet-friendly, although consuming large quantities of any plant may cause mild stomach upset.
