I had a spider plant years ago and it took me two years to get a baby. Not sure why but two years, and when I saw I had a baby I was so excited you’d have thought I was having a baby. Lol

[@quittrynabemeyouredoingaba6852]

@@carayj yes, we got our 1st spider plant about 10yrs ago as a baby itself (daughter named it baby bottles 😋). Was left in a dark room and took 3yrs to 'make babies' then started to get a bit out of control and taken outside. Those babies set roots and started making babies after a year...problem with being outside, summer sun and frost give them a hard time...move them before those times

[@kella.cordes]

I have a cat and she was CRAZY about my spider plant (they’re non toxic so she’s okay lol I promise) But she was legitimately obsessed with eating it and I looked it up and apparently they’re hallucinogenics for cats 😂 So I guess I have a lil druggie on my hands ❤️😂

I got a spider plant as my first houseplant 12 years ago as a gift and it's still alive and has given me dozens and dozens of babies. The original I got was solid green, but the babies sometimes come out variegated which is super cool.

[@Lorenmcdee]

Hey there! I've had spider plants for a long time and I know how to produce pups. My tenant had a spider plant as long as I have and couldn't do it. I just demonstrated what to do with her and it worked. You have to get the plant a little stressed. Get it root bound, and water it a little less than you should. I starved my tenant's one of water until the leaves got wavy recently. The plant in the wild would sense that it is no longer in the ideal spot and put out pups to try to shift its energy to a more ideal spot. After I stress it a little I pot it up (it's root bound) and I water it. Bam! You have pups.

[@GoodandPlanty]

thank you SO much!! i will give this a go 🤓

[@idislikemints]

@@GoodandPlanty did it work?

[@repulsethemonkey1396]

Should I replant it in a smaller pot so it'll get root bound quicker or should I keep it in its current pot and wait. I've never repotted a plant the opposite direction so idk what would happen

[@melissarushing2538]

@Lorenmcdee. Huh, that's good to know because as I mentioned in my comment before, I've had my spider plant for almost 5 yrs and no babies. I WANT BABIES!!! LOL Thanks for the tip.

[@heyummrandommuch]

@@repulsethemonkey1396 i wait until my spider plants are super rootbound honestly. like, more roots than soil in the pot but not enough for the roots to meet eachother once coming out of the bottom of the pot (have had to break pots in the past to preserve roots during repotting lol)

[@jayfeather2983]

My spider plant is SO RESILIENT! She was sunburned, survived that, she was potted as a baby and growing great! she had too much water and is now doing great! :D

[@lavona8204]

The easiest way to get a few chemicals evaporated out is to just leave a jug of tap water out on the counter the night before.

[@LianeSpicer]

You're so right about that. I lost several gorgeous spider plants and could not figure out why until I read somewhere that tap water is a killer for them. So now I fill a 2-gallon water container with tap water and leave it uncovered on the counter for a few days. Then I screw on the cover and use that water for my spiders. I also water only when the plant is quite dry, roughly once a week. Started doing that almost 2 years ago and the two I have now continue to thrive and send out lots and lots of pups.

[@lavona8204]

@@LianeSpicer I love that the internet exists now and people can openly exchange information. It's definitely helped me rehab a few species that friends were going to throw away. That makes me happy your spider plants are thriving.

[@Psychedlic916]

I also use this technique, however I drilled a hole in the cap, this way I can leave it out on the counter or in a little nook, and not worry about water spilling.

[@BarneyThisBarneyThat]

6/14/21: let your spiderplants get pot bound & theyll make babies. thats how they know when to reproduce in "the wild." i have roughly 18 full grown spiderplants (3 with babies) from my original 2 plants after 4 years. that includes the og's of which one currently has more babies... i wish i could post pictures here, lol ❤️

A plant enthusiast family member said spider plants like being "snug" but idk...I get claustrophobic just looking at it. I've been debating on when to move it to a bigger pot but I think your comment has solidified my decision! Thanks again!! Edit: just got to 8:25...yeah this had that when I brought it home.

[@laurendoan9435]

dude having the comparing sizes of plants it's so good to see! so many people don't do that and i like seeing how different conditions create different results 👏🏼

[@Starry-zy8bb]

With my slider plant, I made a lot of mistakes. First, the pot I put it in was way too big and I kept leaving it where the cat could get to it. It was down to one tiny cat-bitten leaf. Then I decided, you know what, I have a plant that needs a bigger pot, and this one's tiny, so I'll switch them. The results were almost immediate. My tiny spider plant was put into a 4 inch pot instead of a 7 inch pot, and it was so much happier. It took off and within 3 months it was a full spider plant with a baby stem emerging. I didn't repot it until it was so big that the pot looked like it was about to fall over. It's doing great and now has a total of 4 baby stems, one of which branched and had two on it. What I've learned is simple: spider plants like to be root bound. Not extremely root bound, but they do very well in smaller pots. it makes over watering them unlikely, it makes them put out babies in search of new soil, and as long as you use a plastic pot, you should have no issues with the roots getting stuck and getting damaged.

[@nataliewatson3850]

obsessed with your earrings

[@user-pc9pc4de3h]

I am beginner plant parent and my first plant is spider plant. I've had it for a month and it already has a baby. I found it today and I'm literally so happy about it bc I don't think it usually happens that fast. Anyway, my spider plant is on my bedroom window which has bright indirect western light and I water it like once a week with distilled water. I hope the information helped💖

[@KewlQT]

I get tons of baby spiders produced from my plants. I find to encourage this you need to keep them a bit root bound. Think of the shoots of spiderletes like aerial runners. A pot bound plant will produce more than one with lots of room to stretch out its roots. The only downside is watering. It will become hard to penetrate the center mass of the root ball. So what I find works best is to totally submerge the pot in a tub of Luke warm water (I never use icy cold water on my tropicals as it can shock the plant. So room temp is best.) Submerge the pot just below the soil line and wait until all the air bubbles have stopped rising to the surface. Maybe a bit longer if your plant feels lighter than normal therefore needs time to have a good drink. The next step is critical. Let all the excessive water drain out. If it's in a really large pot this could take up to an hour. Once all excess water has drained you're done and you can place it back on its saucer and return it to its home. One side note is that this is best for larger spider plants and since all that water weight gets heavy you may want a friend to help out with the lifting and holding back all the fronds of baby spiders as you submerge the mother plant. Hope this helps.

[@iffatsiddiqui3205]

Extremely clear n helpful. Thanks.

[@joethemusician]

This is how I like to water mine too! I find that if they get a teeny bit too dry they are more prone to make pups as well, so it’s win win (if you’re wanting pups at least)

[@sharonm.t.2492]

Thanx

[@keegs53]

Hey! I keep tons of spider plants and this is what I have noticed with mine for having them produce pups! I don't know how old your plants are, but I find that when they're normally around two years old*, they'll start producing flowers and pups. Yours might need to wait one more year or so, but your big one definitely looks healthy enough to make some next year!

My slider plant loves the water from my dogs water bowl. Instead of pouring it down the drain, I give it to the plant. The plant loves it. No crispy tips here!

[@lavona8204]

When you leave water out for 30 minutes or more, it evaporates a few of the chemicals added to drinking water.. like chlorine. That's probably why 🥰

[@wishingonthemoon1]

That’s so interesting!

One tip for heavy leaves that are starting to bend- cut a 1.5-2” piece of plastic straw, cut it open, and put around the bend. If the leaves are extra wide, cut the corners into a curve to make them smooth.

My first spider plant propagated pups very early. (I live in Canada, so what you said about short days long nights may be true). That was about 3 years ago, and have gotten around 10 little babies since. I found the times most pups grew was in winter when I was kinda ignoring them lol.

I can totally relate to the spider plant. They seem to thrive on neglect and just need water and good light. I recently moved and left my plant at my moms.

Love reading everyone’s plant stories! And this video is fantastic! This is the biggest diva of a plant I have ever had-even more so than orchids! Whoever said it was a low-light plant did nooot get to know this plant very well. Story: I did a plant swap with my neighbor, she has two HUGE spider plants with tons of babies each, and she had several propagated, so she gave me one. Hers are beautiful and getting lots of sun and loving life. My little guy….crispy tips galore 😅 But then again, she’s one of those magical people that plants just blossom when she walks in a room. I think I was watering it too much, so I’m going to try and let it dry out more between waterings. I swapped her a date-palm and a loquat for her spider plant (I had three of each in total, so I really didn’t need them), and even her loquat is already doing ten times better than mine haha. Of course, I’m only 26 and she is about 50-something, so she’s got just a tad more experience than I do 😅 Good luck, everyone! Edit: I didn’t realize they liked humidity! I have mine right next to my air-plant that I spray regularly. I’ll try the same for my spider plant!

Oh good. This is what I was coming to find out. I have mine in my back porch and it gets evening sun. I’m in Texas so it gets pretty hot back there. I hope it survives because my cats eat them when I try to keep them indoors.

I bought a spider plant recently and without even watering it her leaves started rotting 😔😔 I had to repot her because the place I got her form overwatered her I hope she’ll be ok!

[@menareawasteofspace]

Love your energy & so do your plants 🪴 😝

[@derrickwolter1]

I have like 7 spider plants that I planted in two big pots on my patio. I had no idea they are so sensitive. Thanks for the in depth video

[@maurap.4983]

my next shopping trip, I'm going to buy a water meter, thanks for the video

[@EnglefieldEcho]

So I brought a spider plant pretty close to death and I hoping I can bring this baby back to life using tips from you! Thank you so much for this video you're lovely and so helpful

[@GoodandPlanty]

thank you so much for watching!! i hope your spider plant perks up :)

[@StarLover479]

They are pretty strong plants! I may have almost killed mine a couple times and it has come back every time.

[@QueenIrene4382]

The one I bought had super brown tips

[@nokwazindzimandze2732]

This is good content. Thank you and God bless you.

[@fillhappy1682]

Thank for sharing! We have a spider plant in my home but it does't grow as beautiful as yours. I really needed the tips. Thank you!

[@Yoliplanting]

Poor thing, mine is outdoors on my porch in full sun in the morning in Florida. I think it has gotten used to it because it is doing great.

[@jenniferdaniels3076]

Also once they start sprouting babies I spray the stem all the way up to the base and I literally watch them grow in a matter of days... Ok not that soon but its feels like that

[@billc2054]

Thank for an entertaining post! You are so Perky! I like your tips a lot!

[@susangarza78]

Thanks for the 101 on taking care of my spider plants. You did a great job. I learned so much. Really enjoyed your video. I will subscribe and watch. How cute are your earrings too.

[@madisondaches7810]

patiently waiting for a spider plant root reaction video

[@GoodandPlanty]

i need a billy on the street collab

[@mamaknows1062]

Great information thank you. For us humans too. We bought a distiller from waterwise for 399. Hubby actually drinks water now, reduced his BP tremendously. We put filters on showers, and outdoor faucets for hoses to veggie/fruit gardens. Huge difference in plants. Your skin wont need half the moisturizer either.

[@haydenforrest4332]

The set up is beautiful, in my opinion you should keep it, it looks fabulous!

[@swedishjazz9546]

I have to agree about the light - I've had my spiderpalt for over a year, and it only started sprouting babies recently, after I put it out on the balcony for a couple of weeks.

[@melissarushing2538]

Good info, I have a few spider plants and one of them, the one I've had the longest, like 4+ years, has never grown babies for some reason. And, I have tried almost everything from bright indirect light for a couple years to a shadier spot for a couple years while watering it regularly and still no babies. Otherwise, it is a very healthy plant, everyone that sees it comments how beautiful it is. The only thing I hadn't tried was fertilizing it, until today I made my own organic fertilizer I've used on other plants, egg shells, banana peels and coffee grinds. Anywho, lol thanks for taking the time to share your tips. God bless you!😇

[@GoodandPlanty]

so interesting! hopefully the fertilizer works 🤞i’m trying to let mine get a bit more rootbound

[@jenniferdaniels3076]

So I always thought Females gave Baby spiderettes. And males don't I have had all green ones that never put out pups. Not sure if its true?

[@tigerlilly1280]

I have propagated a spider plant through a cutting! I had one super leggy so I trimmed it. And bam. More spider plants

[@KewlQT]

They produce roots quickly. Congratulations on your success. Did you know that Spider plants also remove harmful toxins from our indoors air quality. Things like formaldehyde (spelling?) that leech off of carpets and our household cleaners. Growing Spider plants are definitely beneficial as well as beautiful.

[@mcperc3]

I recently tried propagating my outdoor spider plant which is growing really well. One baby survived and is doing really well. Both were just stuck in soil but not watered regularly. The other just never rooted. I may not have used the connected “growth stem” & pulled it off. Oops.

[@looney2032]

I just got a spider plant as a parting gift from my school since it’s my last year and my favorite teacher was BIG on plants. I want to save this plant however I have no experience with plants on my own. I always had her help and teach me what to do so I’m on my own with this one.

[@dianahartley-kim7109]

I am trying another spider plant after an unsuccessful attempt many years ago. 🤞 thank you for the tips 💚

[@IAmAR0b0t]

Thanks for these tips! I just have a question. Do you know if it does any damage when you wipe down the leafs with regular soapy water straight from the sink? My spider plant got browning in the middle of the foliage and I don’t know how if I haven’t overwatered it and the light levels are medium to bright. I might think it’s maybe under watering but I have a moisture meter and when I checked up on it, it was still moist but almost dry so I’m not sure what could be it. Should I also just cut the browning parts as well? Any tips from anyone could help, thank you!

[@GoodandPlanty]

If it’s soft and mushy spots, it could be bacteria from moisture on the leaves. Make sure to dry the leaves before putting it back and thoroughly rinse off the soap. I would cut off the effected leaves. If the damage is more crispy, maybe they are breaks in the leaves. It’s hard to tell without a photo but these are my best guesses!

[@melissarushing2538]

@Barbara Rangel Hi, It could be that if the leaves get a little bent in the middle you'll get browning like half way up the stem. And, like @Good and Planty mentioned, it could be leaving too much moisture on the leaves after cleaning them, which my fan takes care of for me.. I've noticed that when I clip off the brown tips and any brown parts at all, it promotes growth and the leaves grow back pretty quick thankfully. I hope that helps. God bless you!😇

[@alainamatson4760]

Me watching after giving my plant tap water 👁👄👁

[@GoodandPlanty]

you'll be fine 💚you might get a few crispy tips, but honestly, so does everyone else!

[@melissarushing2538]

@Alaina Matson. LoL funny! I know the feeling.

[@lavandermilk]

I never give my plants tap water/ only distilled or rain and one of my spidies still had black tips so I'm thinking it's not always the water. IMO

[@shawnnahuskey1482]

Can I use tap water that has been sitting out for 24 hrs?

[@melissarushing2538]

@@shawnnahuskey1482 Yes, you can. I have water bottles I fill up for watering my plants and it sits for a couple to a few days at a time and I've never had an issue. God bless!😇
