Best TIPS For Spider Plant 🌱 Complete Care For Spider Plant

[@Violet-1311]

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😂😂

[@MothGrows]

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]

Think I’ve killed mine this way. Gonna start over this weekend.

[@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 💚

[@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) 💚

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 💚

[@arvellataratuta2150]

I had a mature spider plant that I divided into many small plants. Many of the divided plants are producing babies.

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 🙃

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.

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 😂💚
