Good luck with your new spider plant! 😃🎉 Biggest thing I messed up on my first couple plants was over watering. My spider likes water about once a week but I feel the soil to see when it's getting dry. If you have any care questions that you can't answer via Google, there are a few good subreddits out there you can ask for advice. But spider plants are great, I think it'll go well!

The Power of Plants: How Different Plants Boost Your Health and Well-being 

I didn't know about your hand. I'm sorry. If I could, I'd move you into the apartment across the hall from me and help you get set up. It's crap apartments, but at least you can't hear your neighbors unless they're physically banging on the wall?

Nah, it's not complicated. Just have to install a shelf big enough to hold the tote up, with a crack for airflow (I shoved a pencil in there, okay?) those totes are freaking GREAT man. I repurposed the lid too. BUt yeah, it was like, $20 I think total including getting enough wood from Home Depot to make it. It's getting cold though, so the pine bonsais are so unhappy it's almost scary. The window can drop to -10 inside, so it has to be movable for me. I no longer have a kitchen table.

I have a heater under my plants, and one of those really big clear plastic containers used for storage over them, with water inside in a bowl on the heater, and I make sure my water is damp. I own to marsh trees, and their roots basically have to be swimming. The cat I was taking care of only went into my jerry-rigged greenhouse ONCE, because it was too humid. She loved the grow lamp I had in there though, because they were originally greenhouse plants.

That's probably good humidity for ferns! My fern was doing well in the summer, where humidity is up to 70-80%, but now that it's fall, it's turning brown and struggling at the 50-60% humidity levels.
