Best Locations For Growing Spider Plant 'Bonnie'
Spider Plants do best when located in environments ranging from 55 - 75 degrees F. Although ‘Bonnie’ Spider Plant can tolerate lower light environments, the variegation on this plant will be more pronounced when placed in brighter indirect light. Avoid temperatures below 55 degrees F.
Spider Plant 'Bonnie' Sunlight Requirements
Allow ‘Bonnie’ to get plenty of filtered or bright indirect light. This plant can tolerate lower light levels but may lose its attractive coloring.
Spider Plant 'Bonnie' Care
Plant “Bonnie’ Spider Plant in an all-purpose mix and add 1 part perlite. Spider plants will produce offshoot plantlets or ‘pups’ – you can trim them from the mother plant and plant them in their own pot. They tend to be rapid growers as their fleshy roots fill up a pot. If repotting, do this during its summer growing season.
Watering Spider Plant 'Bonnie'
When watering, soak your spider plant well and generously, allowing excess water to escape through the bottom drain holes. Allow the top quarter of the soil to slightly dry out before watering again. You can use your finger to test the soil moisture.
Feeding Spider Plant 'Bonnie'
Use a diluted fertilizer at half strength once a month during spring and summer. Refrain from fertilizing during winter months. You can opt for a fertilizer that has both micro and macro nutrients for your houseplants and see wonderful results.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
