How Often to Water Spider Plants? Best Watering Practices Revealed!
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, here’s my blog post about watering spider plants, written from my personal experience:

Alright, so I’ve been messing around with spider plants for a while now, and let me tell you, figuring out the watering was a bit of a head-scratcher at first. I killed a few in the beginning, I’m not gonna lie. Too much water, too little water… it was a mess. But I think I’ve finally got it down, so I wanted to share what I’ve learned.

How Often to Water Spider Plants? Best Watering Practices Revealed!

My Watering Journey

I started by just guessing, you know? I’d water them whenever I remembered, which was, uh, not very consistent. Sometimes they’d be swimming in water, other times they’d be bone dry. I quickly realized that wasn’t gonna work.

Then, I tried the whole “stick your finger in the soil” thing. You know, if it feels dry, water it. That was better, for sure, but I still felt like I was guessing a bit. My finger isn’t exactly a scientific instrument.

So, I started paying closer attention to the plants themselves. And here’s what I’ve figured out:

  • Look at the leaves. If they’re starting to look a little pale or dull, they probably need a drink. If they’re vibrant green and firm, they’re good.
  • If the leaves fell limp, it means water it right now.
  • Feel the soil, but don’t just poke the top. Really dig your finger in there a couple of inches. If it’s dry down there, it’s time to water.
  • Lift the pot. Seriously! You can get a feel for how heavy it is when it’s fully watered versus when it’s dry. This has become my go-to method. After a while, you just know.
  • When you water, ensure to wet the entire soil in the pot.

I also learned that the type of pot matters. I had some in terracotta pots, which dry out faster, and some in plastic pots, which hold onto moisture longer. So, I had to adjust my watering schedule based on the pot, too.

And finally, the time of the season. My plants at home need much less watering during winter.

Now, I pretty much water my spider plants when the pot feels light and the leaves are just starting to lose a bit of their vibrancy. I give them a good soaking, let the excess water drain out, and then I leave them alone until they tell me they’re thirsty again. It is a long-term process to observe the plants and master the skills.

It’s not rocket science, but it does take a little bit of observation and getting to know your plants. Don’t be afraid to experiment a little (but maybe not with your favorite plant!). You’ll figure out what works best for you and your spider plants.
