How To Propagate Spider Plants the Correct way from Start to Finish COMPLETE PROCESS

[@mommanewell]

I picked up a spider plant in honor of my mom. She always had a huge pot with all those babies. She taught me so much . Taking care of my collection makes me feel closer to her ❤

My dad lovingly nurtured a spiderplant for nearly 30 years. It began as a seed, which I germinated in a wet paper towel tucked into a ziplock bag, then planted it in a little red solo cup as part of my second-grade science curriculum (thank you Mrs. Ososkie). I excitedly gave it to my dad as a Father's day gift just a few weeks later. It was extra important because it was the first Father's day since he and my mom separated. About three decades later, my dad propagated two plants from that mother plant and had my son and nephew hand paint two little pots. He grew them in secret for a couple of months until he handed them over to the boys to surprise my sister and I for Mother's day. He passed a year and six days ago today. That plant represents to me the unconditional love and patience he bestowed upon those he loved. I will do the same as he did and pass on the plant to my children through my grandchildren. It's extrodinary how much one little seed and a lot of love can impact the future. ❤❤❤

My daughter found a broken, one leaf piece of spider plant baby on the floor at Lowe's and brought it home for me. She put it in water, and as soon as there was just a half inch root, I potted it in a two inch pot. It quickly put out more leaves! It's growing!

Thanks for this video! I found a curly spider plant on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, laying on her side half out of her pot. I guess she fell out of the back of someone’s truck, so I took her home. Summer 2023 was hot, and she ended up flowering, then giving a ton of babies! I’m about to gift these babies but didn’t have the know-how on proper propagation. Much appreciated!

So I Popped his Football ⚽️. He did me a favour in the long run, the almost Bald Mother Plant grew twice as big with lot's of Pups. Almost all our Villagers, 'Up North' grew Spider Plants! Sorry for the Essay. When my Daddy died, I were 22yrs. I planted a Large Spider Plant on his grave until the temperature 🌡 plummeted, I left it too late as I was in University. Every year We planted one until we moved here. I miss Daddy so Much also his knowledge. "Thank You Again" Pretend it's a Spider Plant.🕷🕸🕷🕷🕸🕷🕷, and this is a Pup please. 🌱 🕊

What You are doing regarding your Spider Plants is Beautiful, Amazing and Sad. Your Daddy's Gift to you many years ago will Never Be Forgotten. As you said through your Children and Grandchildren. This may sound Silly, or Not. Have you thought of writing a Journal of when your Daddy first gave to you the Spider Plant Seed? Your Children could add to your Journal, then their Children, so on and so forth. My Daddy Past Away at 03:10am today. I was 22 years old. He Never saw me Graduate, which was like him Dying all over again. I have just passed 61years of age and are terminally ill with Multiple Sclerosis. I am only saying this simply to say the obvious. We are only on this Beautiful Planet for a Very Short Time. When Your Daddy gave you that Spider Plant Seed, it is very much treasured and Priceless and will continue on and on. Now That is Beautiful. My, A Stranger's Love To You And All Your Family. 📕

Loving your hair! Just got my first baby spider plant from someone. It had tons of water roots. Didn't really know there was a difference. I potted it in soil in a terra cotta pot.we'll see how she does!

[@ILovePlants33]

Good to know they like root bound- once had mine about a year and no babies. Roots are starting to come out the bottom and I was contemplating repotting. Love your videos!

[@lauriel1826]

Thank you for this video, I was gifted a spider plant that is now pushing out babies. I feel like I'm prepped! 💗 Your advice on east/north/west/south placement is super helpful thank you.

[@naakwaamo]

Thank you for an interesting video as always Harli. You know another way of propagating I found is to put the baby spider plant in a small prepared pot. Put the baby in it but don't cut it off the mother plant. After a few weeks you'll find the roots have taken very well, then you cut it off the mother plant.

[@JohnKelley-vg7zr]

I've had bad luck trying to propagate spider plants. I,'ll try a gain with you advice. I love your look w/o makeup.

[@lianevoelker9845]

I find this do funny. At school in year 2 i believe - we learned how to propagate a spider plant. Technically it was my first ever plant (yes, i was 7 or 8) 😂. I got into fruit trees after that. Gifting plants and trees to people at the age of 10. So yes, the spider plant started it all. It's the easiest plant on earth to propagate 😂.

YESSSS thank you!!! I have a variegated spider plant that was gifted to me, but I ended up almost killing it because I didn’t like the brown tips and how it looked, but I pruned it a few months ago and it put out a pup shortly after!

This is perfect timing because I recently bought a huge spider plant full of babies. I mainly bought it for my cat, who loves to chomp on them. 😊

[@jennysmith1622]

I was told they are toxic to cats

[@jek504]

@@jennysmith1622 Spider plants are safe for cats per the ASPCA. They are not toxic but they do have mildly hallucinogenic properties if they eat enough of it! I've never observed that in my cat though; I don't think he eats enough to have an affect.

[@aingealtara1479]

.. I grew up knowing spider plants was poison to cats and dogs.. Only my female cat don't know that, as in "I pretend not to know".. So my spider plants and the puppy's are way out of her reach, because if they are not, I won't have anyone left.. Once she took all 32 pups that was in propagation and half the mother plant..

[@jenc2329]

Just bought a spider plant today. Perfect timing! 😀 Thank you!

[@Sconnie13]

Spiders reproduce like rabbits! I got my first plant from my Mom 20 years ago. She still produces like the first year I got her. I’ve learned to trim mine every spring as they really seem to perk up from being relieved of all their kids. Mom & I always propagated with a glass of water in a window. 💚

[@lauraposustasharp5336]

Great video! I am wondering what you have in your potting mix - is it a soil/rock/coir or sphagnum moss? I've read that peat moss is bad (gnats like it?) and wonder what your take is on that. Thanks for this information! :)

[@greyfriars6540]

My Spidey is five years old and never had a plantlet. I've let it get pot bound, changed its exposure to light, used only filtered water, but nothing. I've now split into two,, and will start again. Great vid.

Hey Harli! I have a question that isn't directly related to this video, but I hope you can help! I was wondering if you have tried propagating Botanicaz begonias, and if so, what method/substrate worked best for you? Also love you, we have missed you and we are glad to be watching a new Harli video this morning 🎉

[@HarliG]

I always propagate begonias in sphagnum moss or coco coir in a closed environment w/ lots of humidity. I’m in the filming stages of a video showing how I propagate begonias *mostly* successfully 😊

[@ronaldornelas5786]

I had one that did real well, it produced lots babies. I kept this plant on a porch facing west with indirect sunlight. Sadly I left it out one winter and it did not survive a freeze. But the only thing I gave it was water, sun and love it did extremely well. Have 2 new plants now. These plants are so easy to care for.

[@heysatan8]

I have a new emerald green one, no variegation which I love (my first houseplant ever). It came with a small flower stem already and in only 3 weeks it grew 5x the size and has about 6 babies and a TON of flowers. Still waiting (impatiently) for the babies to form roots. Now I found 3 or 4 more flower stems starting to grow! This thing grows SO fast and I'm going to have way too many babies haha. Can't wait to prop the babies and give them away as gifts. :) I've heard the non-variegated ones can actually make variegated babies, but I hope most of them come out the same as the mama cuz that's why I bought her. Her name is Tallulah btw :p

Very helpful video Heidi; thanks!

[@rastkogojgic699]

Hello there, love your video! Lots of valuable information. However I have one question that nobody seems to mention. What do you do with the stem after you cut off the offspring plant? After I do that I end up with one meter long stem that ends with nothing, since I cut off the offspring. Should I leave it like that? Or cut it off as close as possible to where it begins?

[@debbiemann1265]

Spider plants are my favorite. Great video

[@shirleytompkins3006]

Great information that i needed to know before i propagated my "Pups"!

[@simonesevero6761]

Hi Harli! I am new yo your channel , loving it!! I have a question: besides the spaghnum moss do you add superthrive or anything in the water to help the plants to root?

[@theworthysoul]

10:21 Speaking of seeds, today I planted the 11 or so seeds I got from a single pod on one of my 3 spider plants :) No idea how the flower was pollinated but probably either accidental brushing or an insect such as a fly or moth came indoors and did it. Very excited to hopefully get seedlings. They likely _won’t_ be variegated unlike the parent plant and offshoot babies, because the variegation is a mutation propagated only asexually so they don’t inherit it. They’ll probably be all completely green, like the wild plants!

[@DidiCole]

So glad I found your sharing! I've just started mine in a new place & wanted to make sure I did it right. It's been a few years since I've done it. My Mother taught me, but she's been gone over 20yrs, n I can't seem to keep a plant alive after yrs of having a green thumb ❤🪴🌿

Hello Harli, 1. I hope your family is doing well. 2. When retrieving the babies do you cut the yellow stem away down to the base? 3. Can you leave some, or should you do all the babies together? Take care, and thanks!

Can I use just spagnum peat moss or do I need the petals ?

[@jung.forever.]

Sphagnum moss petals? I don’t think I’ve heard of this before. What kind do you recommend?

[@CMZneu]

Maybe my spider plant are weird but the ones i have that look exactly the same and they do perfectly fine in direct sun for like 6hs in summer, also they they are extremely hardy to drying out because they grow these thicker roots that are full of water, even it they eventually wilt from extreme neglect they bounce back really fast. Honestly in my experience these things can do well in really humid soil, dry soil, hot and cold climates(not sure about snow),full sun and even no sun as long as they get good indirect light.

[@jamimarie6117]

What brand Sphagnum Moss do you use and where can I find it?

[@jennysmith1622]

What potting mix do you use

[@kickkss]

The rest of the "stem" that the babies grew on, do you cut them off of the mother plant? Or will they grow more babies if we leave them long?

If there are more nodes on the stem then it will grow more babies

If I let a baby grow water roots would it be safe to transfer it to an aquarium to continue its life as a riparium plant or would it eventually die with continuous wet feet?

[@oolum]

You can rinse the roots without hurting them by holding the spider baby with the roots in a bowl of water. You can dump that water outside afterward. the individual babies will be easier to separate that way.

[@schneemann-fy6gi]

Thanks for this video. I had spiders sitting in soil for a month and not rooting. Thankfully they were not dying either. I put them in a seed starter mix similar to what you mentioned with the coir and a few weeks later, BOOM 🪴 And not only that, my jade cuttings seem to have rooted in ways I've never seen jades go. What was taking months is now taking weeks. Same with other cuttings. I almost want to just switch to this as a potting mix entirely

What’s that moss called?

[@jamimarie6117]

Sphagnum Moss

[@insertnamehere8121]

Lighting : Mimic the lighting conditions under a trees canopy Planting : Make sure your plant to soil ratio is good. Do not surround a plant with a LOT of excess space & soil. It will hold too much water, making your plant more likely to develop rot and making your watering schedule harder. Watering : Water the plant 1/week (if the soil surface is completely dry), only filling the top once and allow all excess to run out of the bottom. Do not allow your plants to sit in water Watering # 2 : If you forget to water your plant for an extended period (and its still alive), put it in a bowl or tub that allows it to soak water for 30 minutes. Once you have an established plant in soil : Water in every 6/mo with a root stimulator (it doesnt have to be an expensive brand, just one with a lot of good reviews) mixed into the water. If its a spring/summer period, do not fertilize your plant for 1 month after your root stimulator watering. Propagation : Use water -- It allows the plant to get all of the water needed, and allows the foliage to adapt to your native humidity levels.
