I’ve been propagating the spider plants for a while now and I tried potting them but they started dying so I put them back in water. What should I do at this point?

I found my spider plant babies root faster in soil than water. Rooting hormone powder helps. But, it’s not necessary. They like bright indirect sun and good drainage.

I try to keep the soil around them a lil moist for the first week or so once I add them to a pot

If I’m having trouble I mix a bit of soil in with water and add more over time. I’ve done it a few times with my props, I guess it gets them used to all the nutrients without making the little plants go into shock

Make sure you’re using a smaller pot when first putting in soil. If it’s too big it won’t do well. I also second what Sunny said in that sometimes they go through shock so don’t panic too fast.

fun fact they can grow in water just add baby bio plant food to it
