My first barrier to a healthy spider plant was my cat plucking the spiderette out of its pot! Ha! I put it on a high shelf in a south facing window and watered it daily until it was rooted. I usually water the small but growing plant twice a week, now with about a quarter of a cup of water each time. I also give the pot a quarter turn so that the leaves grow out instead of across. If you see ANY plant growing or leaning toward a window, it’s not getting enough sunlight.
As my spider plant grows I will return to checking the soil before watering so that it isn’t over watered.
