Hi, here we go another week in Dec.  Dec 9th.  How are you coming with all the Christmas preparations.  We got our live tree up with the help of grandsons.  It is the earliest I have had a tree up.  So, feeling more like Christmas.  I know it is a stressful part of the holiday.  But do remember that it is the celebration of Jesus’s birth.  It is simplest that.  All the rest we do is in that celebration.  Good luck with it all and do what you can.  It is hard for me to find articles to talk about.  I could talk about Christmas trees, caring for poinsettias, but I have written that before.  Just enjoy the plants of Christmas. stay safe

Why do spider plant tips turn brown?
If you notice this detail on the leaves, these may be the reasons.  The plant spider is a very common plant even in the apartment, as it is easy to grow, known especially for its long pointed leaves.  One of the most common problems is when the tips of its leaves begin to dry out and consequently become browns. This can happen for several reasons.
 
Let’s see what they are and how to remedy them.
Stress: If you have just purchased a spider plant or have drastically changed the environment it is situated in, the plant may be affected. In these cases, it is a natural process, after a few days of adaptation the plant will heal itself.
Water: When it comes to giving your spider plant water, finding the right balance is essential. Too much water or too little can undermine health. For this reason, it is important to choose draining soil and give it water only when you notice that the soil is completely dry.
Fluoride: is a component that is very often found in tap water and is not suitable for the spider plant. For this reason, when watering, prefer distilled water.
Temperature: the spider plant is a plant that adapts very easily indoors .  Although a spider plant can survive temperatures as low as 35°F, it won’t grow much unless you keep it in an environment that’s at least 65°F.When temperatures rise, for example in summer, the leaves of the spider plant begin to dry out. In such cases, move the plant to a bright area but away from direct sunlight. Also spray water regularly on the leaves to keep them hydrated.
Fertilizers: Fertilizers are beneficial for plants as they provide essential nutrients. In the case of the spider plant, however, it does not need high doses: prefer organic and natural fertilizers, which will be provided once every 3 months.
