Care Notes from the Greenhouse
- Light: Bright, indirect light keeps Spider Plant 'Bonnie' looking its best, and it tolerates medium light. Avoid harsh, direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
- Watering: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry — Spider Plant 'Bonnie' likes to dry out a bit between waterings and dislikes soggy soil. Water less in winter.
- Humidity: Average household humidity is fine; it appreciates a little extra but doesn't need it.
- Temperature: Typical room temperatures (about 65–80°F). Keep it away from cold drafts and hot, dry vents.
- Soil: A good, well-draining potting mix in a pot with a drainage hole.
- Fertilizer: Feed lightly with a balanced houseplant fertilizer in spring and summer; pause in winter.
- Good to know: Pot up the pups to make new plants; it's sensitive to fluoride (brown tips), so filtered water helps.
- Care tip: Give it the right light and consistent watering, and Spider Plant 'Bonnie' stays full and healthy.

From Our Greenhouse to Your Home
Florida Plant ships across the continental U.S. Your plant ships from Florida and California, USA, carefully packed in its nursery pot with soil unless noted. Orders dispatch within 1–4 business days, early in the week so plants don't sit over a weekend in transit.
During cold weather, orders to colder areas are sent with a heat pack, and we may hold delivery to very cold areas until it's safe to ship. Every plant is backed by our 48-hour live-arrival guarantee — contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos if there's an issue.
Because this is a live plant, each one is unique — size, fullness, color, and shape vary naturally, and minor cosmetic imperfections can happen. Give your plant a little time to settle in after it arrives.
