Care & Feeding of Your Spider Plant
A spider plant (Chlorophytum Comosum) is an easy-to-care for houseplant that will fit in well in your house. And they have the added benefit of growing their own babies!
The Light Needs of Your Spider Plant
I have had good luck with placing spider plants in almost any lighting situation, as long as they are not in direct sunlight for too long. They tolerate low-light situations that many plants wouldn't like. So go ahead and place your spider plant anywhere. Keep an eye on it and if looks like it's flagging, move it and again keep an eye on it. Spider Plant Books

Water and Fertilizer Needs of Your Spider Plant
Let spider plants dry out between water. I find that it's best to use water that has been sitting for at least 24 hours. This allows chlorine to dissipate and the water to reach room temperature. Chlorine can contribute to the browning on the tips of the leaves.Fertilize your spider plant lightly and only during the active growing period.
