Description
Spider Plant is a clumping foliage plant that produces long stems carrying miniature plantlets, each able to root into a new plant.
It is sold at 30cm for AED 45 in a nursery pot.
This species is the clearest indicator of water quality in a UAE home. Fluoride and dissolved salts in tap water travel to the leaf tips and collect there, browning them in a sharp point while the rest stays green. Filtered water halts it.
How to care for Spider Plant in the UAE
Bright indirect light keeps the pale stripe strong; deep shade washes it out. Water when the top two centimetres are dry, and expect the thick white roots to fill the pot quickly. The most common failure here is leaving it in the same small pot for years, after which it dries within a day and the tips brown whatever you do.
Where Spider Plant works best
Hang it from a bracket or a high shelf so the plantlets hang free. It is not toxic to cats or dogs, though cats chew the trailing stems. See more plants suited to homes with cats and dogs.
FAQ
What do I do with the baby plants on the runners?
Cut a plantlet with a short stub of stem and press it into damp compost. It roots in two or three weeks.
Why has my Spider Plant stopped producing runners?
Runners come from mature plants with enough light and a full pot. A young plant, or one in deep shade, builds leaves first.
Plants Care
Watering:
Water your plant once a week or when the soil starts to feel slightly dry on the surface. Keep the soil consistently moist, but be careful not to overwater, as this can cause brown spots and leaf drop. If the leaves become curly or dry, it's a sign that the plant needs water. It's best to water your plant in the early morning or late evening when the temperatures are cooler. Always check the soil before watering.
Light:
Provide bright indoor light or indirect sunlight for about 6 to 8 hours a day.
Temperature:
Maintain temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid exposing the plant to drafts, as these can cause undesirable temperature fluctuations. Mist the plant occasionally, about twice a week, to help maintain optimal humidity levels.
Fertilizer:
Apply liquid fertiliser every 15 days when the plant is actively growing. For best results, use Folikraft ready-to-use Indoor Plant Food.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! We ensure that every plant we send out meets two key criteria:
- We carefully inspect each plant for signs of root rot, pests, disease, and unhealthy foliage or stems. If we find any issues, we don’t ship the plant. This meticulous care ensures that every plant is healthy and ready to thrive in its new home.
- We ask ourselves if we’d proudly display the plant in our own homes and if it matches the online photos. If both answers are yes, we ship it. However, if you're not happy with your plant, we offer a hassle-free replacement within 14 days of delivery.
Yes, we strive to match the appearance of the plants shown online. While natural variations in color, shape, and size are to be expected, we do our best to ensure your plant closely resembles its online image.
Your plant will arrive in its nursery pot to ensure safe transportation. We recommend leaving it in this pot for at least 6 to 12 months to acclimate to your home’s environment. For succulents, which acclimate faster, we may replant them before shipping.
Consider the following:
- Light: A bright, indirect light spot offers more plant options than a shady area.
- Time: Some plants need minimal care, while others require more attention.
- Style: Choose plants that match your aesthetic, whether tree-like with large leaves or vining varieties.
