# Need some tips on spider plants…. Do you prune them? Mine are both…

_Geplaatst door Sarah op 2024-04-22_

Need some tips on spider plants…. Do you prune them? Mine are both massive and I can’t up their pot sizes anymore as they’re getting on the big side anyway. Any tips on how to keep them in check welcome 🤣 the one at the front of the pic is defo multiple plants…. Really don’t want to separate them off as really don’t have the space and don’t really know anyone that wants plants 😂

Look into how to trim their roots. Many plants you can cut back their roots by 1/3 to keep them the same size/same pot.

I will look into this… thank you 👍🏻

I just saw someone literally take a hatchet to the bottom third of the root ball and repot to keep it in the same pot and not create a bigger plant. It was wild, but effective!
