How do you bring a spider plant back to life???

I either drowned it or burnt it up in the sun... I dont know. I shouldnt be trying this at home... lol!

How do you bring a spider plant back to life???
you cant kill a spider plant with over watering it. They thrive in wet conditions. Probably burnt in sun. Pull the brown leaves off and leave it on a windowsill in a sunny place. May not recover fully at this time of year. But it will come back all right next year. only way to kill them is by not watering.

Contact my Avatar, I'll send you some.
Reply:Cover it with a 'Black Garbage Bag'.. and leave it sit for a couple weeks.. (outta the Sun)..either it will 'Re-juvinate.. or Not! This works with all plants. Gives them the humidity to usually come back!
Reply:A friend of mine grew a spider plant in a fishbowl, had a beta fish swimming around the roots, so I don't think you could have drowned it. Maybe it was sunburned.

You might also want to check that the roots haven't outgrown the pot the plant is in. Besides nutrients, the soil is important because it holds water until the plant can absorb it. If the plant is root-bound, it will have a hard time absorbing enough water no matter how frequently you water it. The symptoms would be the same as underwatering. If the roots have crowded out most of the dirt, you can get a container 1 or 2 sizes up, and add a little potting soil when you transplant it.
Reply:Drowning is a good way to kill one and tough to reverse. Put the plant in a bright, but not sunny corner and let it dry out a little and see what happens. In the meantime prepare for the worst and try starting some of the baby spiders. RScott
