(Step-by-Step)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
Spider plants are often found as houseplants around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But have you wondered how to save a dry spider plant?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are taking good care of your spider plant, but suddenly it looks dry and wilted.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Is there anything you can do to save your dried up spider plant?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It turns out, yes, there is something you can do to save it! Spider plants are also known to be resilient.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n They can take some accidental abuse, like overwatering, and still be okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If spider plants can recover from accidental overwatering, they can recover from a lack of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So how do you bring a spider plant back to life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, read more to find out!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Yes, you can bring a spider plant back to life!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n First, you must find common signs that your spider plant is dehydrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most common signs are brown leaf tips and yellowing leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These symptoms occur when your spider plant is exposed to direct sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Small amounts of direct sunlight are not harmful to your spider plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, too much direct sunlight can burn the leaves of your spider plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you suspect your spider plant is wilting from too much sunlight, move it to a shady place and give it a drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That is the first aid of bringing a drying spider plant back to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What if your spider plant gets proper sunlight and water but still looks dry and wilted? It may have overgrown its pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s how you can check if your spider plant has overgrown its pot.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n First, you can look at the bottom side of the pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overgrown plants often have roots sticking out the bottom holes of the pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Second, and less common, are roots sticking out from the topsoil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you see these, it means your spider plant has overgrown its pot and is not getting enough growing space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before attempting to move your spider plant, ensure the new pot is the right size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the best results, choose a pot around 2-3 inches (5-7.6 centimeters) larger than the original pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But what if your spider plant is not overgrown but still looks dry and wilted?<\/p>\n\n\n\n It may be that your spider plant is not getting enough nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To solve this, sprinkle some fertilizer on your spider plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is better to use organic fertilizer rather than inorganic fertilizers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Organic fertilizers release nutrients as they decompose in the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, inorganic ones need bacteria from the soil to break them down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This means that organic fertilizers can be used readily at any time of the year, while inorganic fertilizers cannot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, inorganic fertilizers cause a soil buildup of salts and minerals, which can harm your spider plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is best to give your spider plant fertilizer once every month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But maybe it\u2019s not any of these issues, or you cannot do any of the above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is there anything else you can do to revive your spider plant?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, there is another way!<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow do you bring a drying spider plant back to life?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Can you put a spider plant in water to revive it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
