Spider plants are popular indoor plants, but their leaves can develop unsightly brown tips or edges that leave many houseplant owners and amateur gardeners puzzled.
Overwatering is a common problem for spider plants and can cause brown tips on the leaves. When the roots are constantly moist, they can become weakened and susceptible to fungal pathogens that cause root rot.
One major cause of brown leaf tips on spider plants is poor water quality. Tap and well water may contain fluoride or other dissolved solids that can harm your plant over time.
Humidity, Sunlight Exposure, and Spider Plant Care
Humidity, Sunlight Exposure, and Spider Plant Care
Spider plants thrive under high humidity levels but are susceptible to water stress caused by overwatering or underwatering. They also need some sunlight exposure but should be placed in areas with bright yet indirect light so as not to dry out excessively due to intense direct rays scorching delicate tissues within the leaves’ structures themselves.
