Your heartleaf back there is INCREDIBLE! How is it staked?

It’s just sitting on a book shelf and stake, the vines are just doing their thing

#### iambijoux replied on 2026-02-24

What kind of stake?

### lyssxgardens commented on 2026-02-21

congratulations!!! it’s a baby 🌱🤣

It’s one of the most fascinating things I’ve ever seen a plant do. First the spike pops out. Then it flowers. Then (somehow) those flowers become baby plants and now you know you’re a spider plant boss!

It’s gona be a spiderette! I used to cut them off before I knew what they were cause they were always in my senior pups way! Makes me sad I cut so many and now can hardly get her to push any out!
