tarev said:Hello Evan, spider plants are such drought tolerant and heat tolerant plants here in my area, they grow like weeds here. I am thinking it maybe fertilizer burn on your plant. To be honest, I never fertilize my spider plants, just a thorough watering once a week and it is okay. In between days, I give it a nice spritz, since our area has such dismal humidity. They are in active bloom mode here right now, Maybe one more thorough watering to help wash off accumulated fertilizer salts on your plant. I just snip off brown tips if it looks annoying. It is quick to grow new leaves.

I grow my plants outdoors year round, so it has taken all the heat, cold, drought conditions it can take. It does get some nice shade from the city trees later, so I guess it helps during our triple digit dry heat days.

Hope your plant makes the bloomstalks soon!

That is one happy spider. That's c. vittatum isn't it? Do you have a Hawaiian AKA golden glow? it's the most robust of all my spiders.
