# My latest experiment in propagation. I have Spider plants in my prop…

_Posted by JenThon🪴🪷 on 2025-02-23_

My latest experiment in propagation.  
I have Spider plants in my prop box, they are doing well and putting out a big root system. But that’s taken a month at least. So I thought I would prop the babies while still attached to Mama. Let’s see how long this takes to get a good root system.  
I prepared the moist soil in clear pots, misted the babies with water after I determined which to use (4-5 in each pot). I removed bottom leaves and brushed the wet air roots with Mycorhizzea (rooting bacteria) and secured the plants down with 2 inch hairpins.  
Now it’s wait and hope.
