Hey there! Spider Plants, like your 'Bonnie', are popular houseplants known for their beautiful arching leaves and ability to produce plantlets. Here are some care tips to keep your Spider Plant 'Bonnie' thriving:

1. Lighting: Spider Plants prefer bright, indirect light. They can tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much can scorch their leaves. Place your 'Bonnie' near a window with filtered light or in a well-lit room.

2. Watering: Spider Plants like to be kept evenly moist, but not soggy. Water your 'Bonnie' when the top inch of soil feels dry. Be sure to water thoroughly and allow any excess water to drain away. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.

3. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture but doesn't become waterlogged. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and regular potting soil works well for Spider Plants.

4. Temperature: Spider Plants prefer temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). They can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures, but avoid exposing them to cold drafts or temperatures below 55°F (13°C).

5. Humidity: Spider Plants can adapt to different humidity levels, but they appreciate slightly higher humidity. You can increase humidity by placing a tray of water near your plant or using a humidifier.

6. Fertilizing: Feed your Spider Plant 'Bonnie' with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Be sure to follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging.

7. Propagation: Spider Plants are known for producing plantlets or "spiderettes" that can be propagated into new plants. Once the plantlets have developed roots, you can carefully cut them off and plant them in a separate pot with moist soil.

Spider Plants are relatively easy to care for and can add a touch of greenery to any space. Enjoy nurturing your Spider Plant 'Bonnie'! 🌱😊
