- Spider Plants commonly start dying due to watering with tap water. This house plant is extremely sensitive to a chemical known as fluoride that is in tap water. Most people find themselves using distilled or reverse osmosis water. You will know if your spider plant is starting to die from this because the tips of the leaves will start to turn brown first.
Another reason your spider plant might be dying is because of lack of sunlight. This plant likes 4 to 6 hours of indirect light. Even though a lot of guide say the spider plant is a low light plants it much prefers a lot of indirect sunlight.
When watering your spider plant you might want to consider a bottom watering method. This is where you fill a dish full of water and put the house plant pot inside that dish to absorb the water from the bottom up. This ensures that the entire pot is absorbing water and not certain areas only. Spider plants can sometimes not receive the necessary water to the root systems. Sometimes when people water using a watering can a lot of the water only goes to the outside of the pot not to the roots.
They're pickier than I thought. The audacity of that plant to demand rain water / distilled water instead of regular tap water.
Just slap it !!

Right? 😡
is distilled water , also spring or bottled water? I don't have a fish tank?
I have had hundreds of houseplants. I have successfully grown very finicky plants that require very specific conditions. The spider plant is the ONE plant I can't successfully grow! I'm determined to finally do it!!!
ALLL of my moms plants have FULL light in the south window and SOMEHOW they flourish. succulents, spiders, pothos, umbrella... okay maybe not flourish, but better than mine... so here I am binging your page. I love it, you are super informative and easy to understand
I've been watering my plant for 25 years it's huge with tap water it's always loved it.
This video was very informative. Thank you! I will say that I got a bit dizzy with all the moving around, but the info was great!
Thanks for the info! I left my spider plant outside all summer, and now that it’s cooler I’ve brought it in and it’s dying on me, and I couldn’t figure out why! I definitely think it’s a lighting issue, now. Unfortunately I live in a basement apartment with not much lighting. Gonna get some lights!
This was really helpful, thank you! 👍
The one I got from lowes has a lot of brown stems on the babies. They hang high getting direct sun light and tons of water everyday at the store
I thought I was in a plant shop lol wow! What are they called nursery? Trying to grow some plants 💚🌱
Great tips, and I love your aquarium and plant setup! You have my sub. 👍
I fill my copper watering can filled with tap water and they flourish
My spider plant has been around for 25 years but it keeps outgrowing the planters amend and it's hanging right now and I don't know what to do help and it also doesn't look good because it keeps squeezing itself against the borders of the planter
💜💜 hey! You make great videos! You're so natural on camera😊
Question about having them in a tank. I am having issues with trying to keep mine alive in my tank. No leaves are touching the tank water. The lighting is great, where all of them are. But I'm wondering if it's going to perk up. It's been hanging out with the tank for almost a week now.
Very good video
I have a young spider plant and it has a large beautiful roots. Is a gunner,? I have grown spider plants before.
I appreciate your efforts. New subscriber. Stay connected.
Thanks for this, mine is holding on 🙃
Perhaps you could differentiate between city water and well water. We have “tap water” but we have a well. No chlorine or fluoride.
I ordered some spider plants through the mail. I transplanted them and fertilized them, and they did well for about a week now. The leaves are wilting and turning brown any help please
Great tips...thankies
What about water bottle water?
I would love to and wish I could buy a few of your babie spider plants I can’t find anyone or a place to buy them in Ohio and I have grown up with these plants my grandmas is still alive and my mom has it and it’s been in the family since before I was born it older then I am and I’m 37 but mom keeps her babies so no good for me 🫤
I wonder if this is causing my dads allergies, it is next to a FAN
How about using tap water that you let sit for a few days to a week?
That probably won't work with the chemicals used today.
Love my spiderplants just reported my big ones, my curly spiders are getting repoted this week, they'll all throwing out babies
