Easy Peasy to Care For

You can put them just about anywhere because they're just fine in low light as well as direct sunshine, according to the Gardening Soul. Also, they thrive in temperatures ranging from 55 to 80 degrees, making them super adaptable.

They only need watering two or three times monthly when their soil is bone dry, and if you miss a couple of waterings, the resilient Spider Plant can bounce back. If you see brown tips from too much fluoride in your water, just clip off the tips or areas according to Perfect Plant.

Don't worry about your pets around Spider Plants, either, as they're not toxic. You can also take offshoots, grow from it, and grow a new one.
