Will a spider plant survive outside in a flower garden in the winter and come back in the summer?
Hardiness Zone: 5b
I had a Spider Plant that was left outside all winter. I did not take care of it as you can guess. I left it alone and it came back on its own.
I now live in Montana, zone 5 also. My spider plant didn't make it through the winter. Thankfully I have several others.
No, houseplants do not survive the winter in the midwest. Bring it inside.
It will not survive in Ohio, I leave mine hanging on the back porch all winter, but then I LIVE in South Fla. and we never even get frost. jjs
My spiders are loving it outside this summer. We'll see if they survive the winter. I'll cover them from the Pennsylvania snow.
I know that the experts say spider plants cannot survive winter in a flower garden. I am in zone 7 and I have spider plants that have survived some harsh winters in my garden for at least five years. I even dug them up and brought them inside last winter and still some roots left behind produced new plants (with zero protection). I used to protect them by covering them when the weather was extreme, like temperatures in the teens and below. I am not sure that is even necessary. If you try this, be sure the roots are very deep. The depth, I think, helps protect those roots. You may lose everything above ground, but it will come back and look as full and beautiful as ever.
I live in Savannah, Georgia and would like to know if it can live in the winters here. It has been outside since I got it about 7 months ago.
