Try using an organic bloom booster: Some plant enthusiasts use diluted orchid bloom fertilizer to encourage flower production.
Give your plant outdoor exposure: If possible, place your spider plant outdoors in the summer for a few weeks in shaded, warm conditions to stimulate blooming.
Use banana peel water: The natural phosphorus and potassium in banana peels can boost flower production. Soak banana peels in water overnight and use the water to hydrate your plant.
