In today's video me (and Joli) take you through everything you need to know about Chlorophytum Comosum - commonly known as the spider plant! Spider plants are fantastic beginner plants as they're so easy to care for, simple to propagate and really fast growing. They've been one of my favourite, cheapest house plants for a while so today I thought I'd put together a plant tips and tricks care video for them.
Any questions, fire away and I'll do my best to help!

This is so helpful I’ve been keeping every single baby spiderplant my main one has birthed, and I’m building an empire

[@marcolizdel1223]

I laughed so hard at your comment. Yes it's exactly like an empire!!! I can't bear to give any away amd when I do everyone already has a spider plant lollll😂😂

[@thedreamons8691]

I removed most my leafs off my spider plant today and changed the soil because it was wayy too moist at all times and my plant was dying. We'll see how it recovers. The roots were mostly fine. Update: It's thriving! All the stems I cut started producing many new small plants! There's many of them and they keep growing!

[@JR2K80]

[@Jumperchick11]

I’m in Arizona in the USA. My spider plant took a bit to take root. But it finally did and is going absolutely bananas! Just about a year old and I have two stalks with more babies than I have pots for!! I keep near a sunny window during the day. I’m a polar bear at night though.

[@sakuchan4784]

Great video! I recently bought an established spider plant from the local garden market - it had babies and everything. I repotted it into a larger hanging pot and placed it on the balcony, but it started looking rather haggard after a week. Its leaf tips were turning brown, and the babies' root tips were also turning brown! I've since repotted it into a smaller pot and have placed it indoors, suspecting that exposure to wind was beating my poor plant up. Was looking everywhere for confirmation that spider plants don't like draughts, and finally found it here - thank you!

[@TheJungleHaven]

Thank you! Yes they can be really sensitive to this. I'm not sure where abouts you live, but too much direct sun and lack of humidity can also be a major cause of browning. Hope it's doing better now and bounces back soon! 💚

[@sakuchan4784]

@@TheJungleHaven I'm in Sydney which has mild winters, and summers that range from extreme humidity to extreme dryness. My balcony gets a LOT of wind, so I think if I was to place it outdoors, it would need a more sheltered environment. Anyway, fingers crossed that it likes its new spot indoors, and thanks for responding to my comment! :)

Hello lovely 🥰 Could you please do a video on how much soil you need above and below your houseplants? I heard you say a pot was “too deep” in another video, which I didn’t know could be an issue. I also feel like my plants are always either drowning in soil and the base of the plant is covered too much, or it’s not covered enough and the roots are showing! I hope that makes sense? This should probably be easy, so maybe it’s just a me problem 🥺 P.s Love your energy!!

[@TheJungleHaven]

Hiya! That's a really good idea, I'll make sure to cover it in a video soon. I'm just always wary not to overwhelm a small root system with too much soil, as often it won't be able to absorb all the moisture effectively when you water, leading to things such as root rot. I'll always go for something on the smaller side if I'm in any doubt. Also it's definitely not a "you" problem hahah - I learnt the hard way too and lost quite a few plants that I potted in pots that were too big 💚

Hi Claire. My varigated spider plants bloomed last autumn. Little white flowers a bit like elderflowers. You didn't touch on that, have yours ever bloomed? Also a future video idea, you're always talking about cuttings you took from your mum's plants. Could you share her collection please if that's not intrusive? Did your love of plants come from her?

[@TheJungleHaven]

I realise I totally forgot to mention blooming in these plants (I must have been on autopilot)! My bigger spider plants have bloomed, but for one this size and still relatively young it's very rare - it usually comes with maturity. That's a great video idea - her collection isn't huge (her outdoor plant collection is pretty insane though)... Perhaps I'll ask her to get involved with a video at some point 💚

[@lauravelazquezlopez-ibor6466]

Great video. Very ussefull actyally but... I don´t know why, but every time I propagate any spider plant by tacking of the litle plants they push out, I put it in water and it pushes out ruttes perfectly, but every time I place it in to soil when the roots are developed it starts drying out and after a few days it passes out😱😭😓. Any tips??????? It was great to see you. Bye. 😜🤪😝😍😘

[@TheJungleHaven]

Hiya! When you first pot cuttings up it's important to keep them hydrated as their roots adjust and not allow the soil to dry out. I also always use the water I propagated them in to water them once they're potted up so they have a little bit of their old environment 🙃

I was given a yellowish-looking spider plant. After about a week it started turning black on me. I repotted it and realized it was 3 large plants in one pot so now I have 3 spider plants. Two have babies attempting to grow. What caused the blackening? This is my first time with a spider plant.

Omg.. I moved a couple of months ago and where I lived was on the 8th floor. I had an enclosed ledge outside my windows and my spider plants thrive out there year round.

But out of 7 beautiful plants , I’m down to only two. All the others died. Any reason why?

Spider plants are not easy to keep at all. Mine was fine when I first got it, but it's been a fight to keep it healthy since. Hardly any leaves left and all of them brown/yellow. Finally given up and slung it in the bin this morning. Not one to do again.

[@Mspuddin67]

When you say let the top soil dry out, do you mean the top inch or so?

Depending on the size of the pot, yes. Mine's now potted up in a 12cm pot and I usually let the top inch completely dry out (obviously if it's a much smaller/bigger pot then that will vary slightly) 💚

We recently was gifted a healthy spider plant and ive been trying so hard to keep it just as healthy, but its looking more wilty and ive had to remove cream pebble looking substance that started growing on the dirt near the baseof the plant.

[@zaheerhoosen2533]

Great video. When I got my curly spider plant it had a few spider babies which I cut to create more plants and it’s never given me any more babies. How do I get it to create more baby spiders?

[@TheJungleHaven]

Pushing out babies requires quite a lot of energy from your plant, and they can go for months on end without doing it (even if the plant is healthy and mature). Making sure it's got all the right nutrients, particularly over growing season, and the warmth/light/humidity are all good is the best way to help encourage it to produce more little babies 💚

It's really up to you, but often once you've harvested the babies it will naturally die back 💚

Hi Claire I have had a spider plant cutting in water since last November. It really needs to find a pot. I am concerned at this point that if I pot it up it will die. Do you think it's OK to transfer it to a pot with dirt or leave it alone?

[@TheJungleHaven]

You could maybe do a transfer to semi-hydro to start it off as it adjusts (such as leca, pon or even sphagnum moss)? That's what I tend to do for plants that have been in water for a reeeeeally long time that I want to pot. On the other hand, if it seems happy and it's got a good root system, you could just leave it in it's water and invest in a hydroponic fertiliser... I propagated some pothos cuttings in water a few years ago that are all now hapily growing 100% hydroponic cause I never potted them up 😂💚
