So how do you save it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also read:<\/strong> Why is My Spider Plant Dying? (7 Possible Causes and Fixes)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are many reasons why a spider plant may die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And if yours is dead, here’s how to revive it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, check for root rot.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Root rot is when the roots of the plant have a dark color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, roots damaged by root rot are mushy rather than firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you see root rot, the first step is to cut off all of the damaged roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, rinse the roots of any soil with clean water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You then need to replace your pot’s soil with fresh soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And that’s how you save your plant from root rot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Second, if you suspect you’ve overwatered your spider plant,<\/a> here are the signs to look for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The soil in your pot may be wet, even days after watering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That is a sign of overwatering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To solve this, simply place your pot under the morning sun to dry, or use paper towels as an alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, you need to prune the dead parts of your spider plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, what to do if your plant has excess fertilizer?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes, you may be using more fertilizer than the recommended amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Always check your fertilizer’s instructions to see if you are using the proper amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you suspect you’re using too much fertilizer on your spider plant, here are the things you can do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rinse the fertilizer from the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This can be done by placing your pot under running water for a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Repeat this process a few times to thoroughly wash the fertilizer away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not add any more fertilizer after successfully washing all the fertilizer away from your spider plant’s soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that you have performed either of these steps above, you may wonder, what about the dead leaf tips?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Should I cut the dead leaf tips off my spider plant?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep reading, and you will find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, you can cut the dead ends of your spider plants.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n However, it is not necessary to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spider plant dead ends wither and eventually fall off the plant itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your spider plant’s dead ends have some form of disease, they should be cut off immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, if you want, you can trim off all the brown and yellow parts of your spider plant to make it look better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To start trimming your spider plant, you need a pruning shear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Start by wiping your shears with some rubbing alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This will kill any bacteria on the shears that may infect your plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, start cutting away all the brown and yellow leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, prune the foliage at the base of the plant that looks overgrown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This will add some breathing room for your spider plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, trim the roots if it starts to get root bound, in other words, tangled up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, cut them from the parent if baby spider plants are off-shooting from your main plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can put these new baby spider plants in new pots or throw them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Further reading:<\/strong> Why is My Spider Plant Turning Brown?

This is because they are easy to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They need little water to survive, hence their choice as beginners’ plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, improper care can lead to your spider plants turning brown and wilting, eventually dying if not addressed quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, you can bring your dead spider plant back to life if you know what caused it to die in the first place.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Some causes of spider plant death are root rot, overwatering, and over-fertilizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fortunately, each of these issues can be overcome with the proper methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Root rot<\/a> can be solved by cutting the infected roots and replacing the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overwatering can be solved by drying the soil with paper towels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over-fertilizing your plants can be solved by rinsing the soil with water to wash off the fertilizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And it turns out that cutting off your spider plants’ dead tips is unnecessary unless there is a disease on those dead leaf parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While spider plants are easy to take care of, too much water or fertilizer can kill them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thus, it is important to ensure your spider plant is well cared for and given essential nutrients in the right amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t forget to read our spider plant care guide<\/a> to learn how to properly care for your spider plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is causing your spider plant to die?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
