Although the spider plant is considered to be relatively easy to care for, that does not mean that it does not take offense at all. Occasionally yellow or brown leaves will appear, then you should take remedial action and your plant will recover quickly.
It is possible that your spider plant has received too little light and reacts with yellow leaves. In the case of bicolored plants, the light stripe is then sometimes no longer visible. Responds to infestation by mealybugs or mealybugs in the same way.
What to treat yellow leaves?
If your spider plant is too dark, place it closer to the window. A daylight lamp could also help. A greasy coating indicates a lice infestation. Rinse the spider plant thoroughly and spray the plant with neem oil.
First aid against yellow leaves:
- Change location to a bright place
- Neem oil for lice infestation
