Do you know Where to Keep a Spider Plant in the House? Here are the best ideas to help it flourish and spruce up any corner!
The star of 1970s home decor, this retro houseplant with striped, cascading foliage is back in fashion with good reason! It takes very little to keep Chlorophytum comosum happy and thriving—and it all begins with where you keep your spider plant in the house!
Best Ideas To Keep A Spider Plant In House
Spider plants have several cultivars to pick from. While some push out reversed variegated green and white foliage, others may produce abundant spider pups. But almost all flourish in dappled sunshine and ample humidity—let’s find the best spot for your houseplant!
1. Hang Them Near Windows
Spider plants love brightness but may get burnt by direct, harsh light. If you choose a sunny south-facing window to hang your plant from, make sure the light it gets is diffused through sheer curtains and filters.
2. Spider Plants on Floating Shelves
Spiderettes dangling off the mother plant is surely a sight to behold! Place your potted plant on raised wall shelves so as offsets emerge, they can cascade and drape bare walls with their beautiful, tender foliage.
3. Ideal for Table Decor
Spider plants can be compact or vigorous, as you desire. Placing your potted plant on a well-lit table corner will instantly add life to a space occupied by inanimate objects. Spider plants also aren’t fussy about watering—so you don’t have to worry about a mess!
4. Hang Them in Bathrooms
While other plants may be fussy about soil, water, nutrients, etc, spider plants need humidity of 50-60% to flourish. And a bathroom is a perfect spot to get this! Pair it with humidity-loving plants like succulents and pothos for a tropical feel while in the shower.
5. A Trio of Spider Plants
You don’t always have to go big; get a bunch of small spider plants and pair them up like this lovely trio. They stay cozy in the company of each other, have the same needs, and lend a lush, rich symmetry to the corner.
6. Spider Plant Macrame Hanger Display
The intricate, vintage patterns of creamy macrame pair beautifully with the bright foliage of spider plants. Place the plant in a macrame hanger like this one, and allow its foliage to fountain outwards. Fasten it to a wall or ceiling using command hooks, and you’re set!
7. Along the Stairs
Some enjoy a red carpet welcome, but we prefer being welcomed by the spider plant’s silver, cream, and white leafy tongues. Winding marble stairways punctuated with potted conophytum will refresh your mood even before you finish the steps!
8. Spider Plant on the Work Station
There’s nothing like a lush spider plant to help you bust stress when working. It’ll improve your mood, keep the air you breathe fresh and clean, and put a smile on your face every time you look at it!
9. Keep a Spider Plant in the Bedroom
There’s nothing better than opening your eyes to fresh, verdant greenery as you wake up! Bedrooms with enough brightness are the perfect spot for your spider plant. Keep them on windowsills or hang them from curtain rods. Here’s how to keep your spider plant shiny!
10. Tier Them Up
A multilevel planter like this can give your corridor an eye-catching feel. You can accommodate more than one plant on such a stand, giving a look of fullness without taking up space.
11. Hang One Over the Sink
Potted spider plants over bare, dull bits like a kitchen sink can add sparkle to mundane activities! Washing dishes won’t ever be the same while you’re looking into its bouncy variegated foliage.
12. A Balcony or Patio
If you live in a region with mild winters, balconies and patios are great spots for potted spider plants. And don’t just plonk them on the floor—do up the space with railing planters, hanging baskets, and frames along a coffee table.
13. Windowsill Privacy with Spider Plants
How do you filter out prying eyes without being rude? With a large spider plant, of course! If you feel a bit exposed, place a spider plant and allow it to flourish along your windowsill. This will give you ample privacy and block out unwanted attention.
14. Spider Plant Vertical Garden
You can transform the wall of your room into a vertical garden by decorating it with multiple spider plants. As spiderettes form, the cascading symmetry and complementing patterns and hues will transform your wall into a living, breathing spectacle!
15. In a Vintage Head Planter
Just as a beautiful home makes us feel healthy and comfortable, a beautiful pot will keep your spider plant healthy and beautiful! And this versatile plant adapts well to different shapes, sizes, and textures, as you can see above. So don’t hold back and get creative!
16. Spider Plant Corner
When life gives you spider plants, stack them all in a cozy bunch and create a pretty little corner. This plant can also tolerate moderate to low light for brief periods. So, freely imagine a bountiful green corner and place mirrors to amplify the sense of tropical depth.
17. Line of Spider Plants on Wall Railings
Another way to brighten plain walls without doing much is by hanging spider plants on metal rods and railings on the wall. Ensure it’s at a height so the plant has ample space for its dangling foliage and pups.
18. Keep them in Glass Jars
Trust the process, or better still, watch it! If you’re waiting on your spider plant babies, we suggest placing the mother in crystal-clear glass jars filled with water. Watching the roots develop often gives you the satisfaction of participating as a witness to its growth!
