Leggy Growth on spider plant
What's Happening
Users often mistake the natural, healthy production of long, arching flower stalks (stolons) bearing plantlets as 'leggy' etiolation.
How to Fix It
- 1
Recognize that stolons are a sign of maturity and good health, not a problem.
- 2
Provide bright indirect light to support robust stolon and pup development.
- 3
If true etiolation (weak, stretched internodes) occurs, move the plant to a brighter location.
How to Prevent It
Ensure adequate light exposure (east or west-facing window) to maintain compact, vigorous growth.
