Bring a touch of luck and lush greenery into your home with the Irish Spider Plant! This classic houseplant favorite features graceful, arching foliage with creamy white and vibrant green stripes that cascade beautifully from hanging baskets or shelves.

Why You'll Love It:

• Stunning variegated leaves with white and green striping
• One of the easiest houseplants to grow - perfect for beginners!
• Excellent air-purifying qualities for cleaner indoor air
• Produces adorable baby plantlets (spiderettes) you can propagate
• Thrives on benign neglect - very forgiving

Care Instructions:

Light: Adaptable to various lighting conditions! Prefers bright, indirect light for best variegation, but tolerates medium to low light. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the leaves.

Water: Very forgiving! Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry, typically once a week. This plant tolerates occasional missed waterings. Prefers to dry out slightly between waterings rather than staying constantly moist.

Humidity: Thrives in average household humidity (40-60%). No special requirements needed, though occasional misting is appreciated.

Temperature: Comfortable in normal room temperatures between 60-80°F. Tolerates a wide range of conditions.

Soil: Use well-draining potting soil. Standard houseplant mix works perfectly.

Fertilizer: Feed once a month during spring and summer with diluted balanced liquid fertilizer. No feeding necessary in fall and winter.

Propagation: Easily propagate from the baby plantlets (spiderettes) that grow on long stems. Simply snip them off and place in water or soil - they root quickly!

Pro Tips: Brown leaf tips are usually caused by tap water chemicals (fluoride) or low humidity - use filtered or distilled water if this occurs. Trim brown tips with clean scissors for a tidy appearance.

Perfect for beginners, busy plant parents, or anyone looking for a reliable, beautiful, and air-purifying addition to their home. The Irish Spider Plant is a timeless classic that never goes out of style!

Pet-friendly: Non-toxic to cats and dogs!
