# Hey! One of my curly spider babies fell off when I was moving her…

_Posted by Alex on 2026-02-14_

Hey! One of my curly spider babies fell off when I was moving her around the other day so I plopped her in fresh water I’ve been changing everyday but I’m wanted to check that she’ll actually grow roots or am I wasting my time??

I’ve had a really tiny one grow roots, it wasn’t a curly tho

Looks healthy to me! You can get sphagnum moss and just place it in it cover it for about 2 weeks and it should be ready for soil

Oh thank you! Cover it how?

I like to use the plastic birthday cake containers (that are clear and snap together). This will create a mini greenhouse \& really help promote root growth

This is genius

That’s so smart! Oh I’m doing it today. Thank you!
