Water your spider plant every 1-2 weeks, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's better to underwater than overwater.
Spider plants thrive in bright, indirect sunlight.
Avoid placing them in direct sunlight as it can scorch their leaves.
A well-lit room or a few feet away from a window with filtered light is ideal.
