    Light watering

    He’s very tolerant of forgetful waterers. Let him dry out between drinks and don’t let him sit in water.

  • 
    Most light conditions

    He’s a pretty easygoing guy who’ll put up with any light conditions, except harsh direct sunlight.

  • 
    Feeding

    He appreciates a feed once a month in spring and summer. Dilute it by half as he likes his drinks weak.

• About curly spider plants

  For more care advice about Chris, check out our complete guide to spider plant care.

  A classic of the houseplant world, the curly spider plant has been grown indoors for decades because it’s incredibly easy to take care of. In the wild, it’s most commonly found in tropical parts of Africa and Australia. 

  A wild version might grow as tall as 60cm, with, bizarrely, flower stems that can be up to 75cm long. Indoors, it’s a compact plant that will live cheerfully in living rooms, bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchens - anywhere. It’s equally happy hanging as in a pot.

  Water it lightly and give it bright, indirect light for best results (it will be fine in lower light too, but growth will be weaker). You can also give it a growth boost by feeding it with liquid fertiliser once per month in spring and summer.

  This is one spider nobody need be afraid of.

  Did you know?

  There are over 200 species of spider plant, some of which reach heights over a metre.

  Little Chris is lovely. Very different from the spider plants that I remember sitting in my biology teachers classroom! Simple to care for and even starts making little copies of itself if you feel like potting them up.
