If you water the spider plant too much, you need to remedy it as soon as possible, otherwise various poor growth phenomena will occur over a long period of time and hinder growth. When remediating, you can move it to a well-ventilated place, bask in the sun more, and loosen the soil frequently to evaporate the water. If the water accumulation is serious, it is recommended to replace it with new soil directly to avoid root rot. In addition, you must pay attention to the frequency and amount of watering in the later period to avoid waterlogging.

1. How to remedy overwatering

Although it likes moisture, it should not be watered too much, otherwise it will not be fully absorbed, which will cause various growth problems in the long run. For example, yellow leaves, dead leaves, rotten roots, etc. Therefore, timely remediation is required. You can move the plant to a ventilated place and increase the lighting, so that the water will evaporate faster. You can also loosen the soil frequently. If water accumulation is serious, it is best to change the pot directly to avoid root rot.

2. How often to water

How often you water your spider plant depends on the growth conditions or the season. If it is growing vigorously in spring, water it frequently and replenish water once every three to five days. If it is in summer, the temperature is higher and the water evaporates faster, so you need to water it every day. If it is in autumn, do it once every three to five days in early autumn. After the temperature drops in late autumn, reduce the frequency to once a week. The low temperature in winter causes slow growth and consumes less water, so water needs to be controlled. If the temperature is below 0 degrees, the water needs to be stopped.

3. Watering precautions

When watering it, pay attention not only to the frequency but also to the watering time. For example, the high temperature in summer, especially at noon, is higher. Watering should be avoided during high temperature periods and should be done in the morning or evening to avoid irritating the plants. On the contrary, the low temperature in winter should be carried out at noon to avoid frost damage to the plants.
