Got these at a garage sale for $2 each a couple of weeks ago. The big one had a few limbs break off in transport, but both of the spiderworts have been flowering already and have new leaves! Now if I can just keep the aloe alive; one of my biggest challenges in plant care!

I just got my cutting from a garage sale a few weeks ago too!! The mama was too big for me so she just gave these to me!! I broke them down to make more bushier plant but they are rooting! I wish all plants were this easy lol

I put my broken stems in water but so far they aren’t rooting; what did you do for yours?

#### Jasneedshelp replied on 2025-09-19

Is the node under water too? I just have mine in a mixing bowl and change the water every couple days if not every day. I have a grow light in that room too for 12 hrs. It roots from the node so make sure it’s under water too!

Some of them I gotta readjust but I’ll just cut some more pieces

I can’t grow aloe Vera plants to save my life and I have 200+ plants!😁

I don’t know why they’re such troublemakers! 😅
