Spider plant is a plant that prefers a warm, moist environment, and its growth will be affected to a certain extent in winter due to the decrease in temperature. If you want spider plants to survive the winter safely, you need to pay attention to the following three things:
First, avoid the temperature being too low. Spider plants prefer warm environments and are susceptible to frost damage during the winter months. If the outside temperature drops below 5 degrees Celsius, spider plants can get frostbite. Therefore, before the onset of winter, the spider plant should be moved indoors, and the indoor temperature should be above 10 degrees Celsius. If the indoor temperature is also not guaranteed, some measures can be taken to keep warm, such as using insulation, electric heaters, etc.
Second, stay hydrated. In winter, spider plants grow at a slower rate, but still need water. If the spider plant is short of water, it will cause problems such as leaf wilting and falling off. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the spider plant well hydrated in winter. The amount of watering can be properly controlled, but the spider plant should not be left in a dry state. In addition, you can spray the spider plant with a watering can regularly to maintain the humidity of the air.
Third, avoid over-fertilization. During the winter months, the growth rate of spider plants slows down, and the need for fertilizer decreases accordingly. If it is over-fertilized, it will cause damage to the root system of spider plants, affecting the growth and health of the plant. Therefore, in winter, to avoid over-fertilization, you can appropriately reduce the amount of fertilizer or suspend fertilization.
In short, the most feared thing about spider plants in winter is that the temperature is too low, insufficient moisture and excessive fertilization. As long as you pay attention to these problems and take corresponding measures, you can safely survive the winter and usher in a new growing season in spring.
