Trying to see if I can develop some propagations from my mother’s spider plant. The original plant was overrun with baby props so we’ll see how many will survive and become my new little spiders. 🤷♂️🤦♂️🤩

KimmygailI have a huge spider plant on my patio and I usually take the baby “spiders” and plant them right into soil in a pot & they take off! I’ve started a few. Love the plant cuz it’s in a huge planter pot. And I’ve had it for many years and it stays well thru winter on my patio. Easy and beautiful!

Thank you for that wonderful reply! I’ve never had one of these plants so the whole thing will be a bit of a learning curve! ❤️

plantgalI have propped over 20 from my original spider plant (shes in an 8” pot now after i bought her from a grocery store in a 4” pot 2 years ago and two of her babies are now growing more too), into water for a while and then soil. Ive found a lot of success in letting the roots develop in water, and then transferring to potting soil with some more perlite mixed in once they look like this:

Thank you very much. That is basically my plan as well.

The size of those spider babies look like they’ll each need a 4 inch pot once the roots are ready!

Thank you. Many of these starts have 3-4 baby starts in them seeing how many will actually start growing roots and I’ll go from there but for now, just seeing how many will actually start.

PlantingsherrySome of those look like leaves and not baby spiders. With most other plants you can take a clipping and put it in water and it will sprout roots and you have a new plant. With a spider plant, you have to wait until it makes a baby. Here’s an image.

RhondaI have a plant that has babies growing right now. When would I cut them to try to propagate them?
