People love spider plants because they are gorgeous and easy to tend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But not a few who wonder why their spider plants are sparse and leggy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They want to know how to make spider plants bushier<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the causes is overexposure to sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But there is more to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You’ve come to the right place if you have sparse spider plants and want to make them look bushy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do keep reading. This article will explore why spider plants are sparse, how to make them bushier, and what to do with their spiderettes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Without further ado, let’s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n There are several ways to make a spider plant bushier. The instant and easy technique is to plant several individual spider plants in the same pot.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n By doing so, your plants will indeed look fuller and bushier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But it would be best to use a fresh potting mix containing some organic fertilizer and compost to feed many spider plants in one pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not forget to hydrate them regularly, since more plants in one pot need to drink more often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another way to make your spider plants bushier is to let them sit in indirect sunlight for at least 6 hours daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your plants need photosynthesis to make food. Good-fed spider plants will grow bushier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s good to remember that those plants are native to coastal areas in South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n High temperatures and humidity are ideal for spider plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thus, mimicking their native climate will also help them grow bushier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pruning spider plants also helps your plants develop into healthier and bushier plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, cut all the brown and dead leaves, including removing them if some fall on the surrounding area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rotten leaves and stems attract bugs and diseases to your plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, think about separating overcrowded mother plants into separate plants by pulling the root ball apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It would help if you were careful not to damage the roots. After that, replant the divisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow do you make a spider plant bushier?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
