# Have you guys ever gotten annoyed of how big and how fast they grow…

_Posted by Lotus biscuits on 2024-02-13_

Have you guys ever gotten annoyed of how big and how fast they grow and reproduce? Is there any way for me to humanely kill one or deprive it of something without feeling guilty? Also, if you disagree with this, prove to me why I should kill or deprive my spider plant?

No hate, I love plants and animals.

Is there any way to propagate the clippings so it doesn’t have to go to waste ??:)

#### Lotus biscuits replied on 2024-02-13

Yes there very much is, it’s just that I don’t want any more than one spider plant.

### GreenGirl commented on 2024-02-13

Maybe you can sell them online? I do buy some plant propagations from Etsy and depop

Great idea!

my tradescantia irritate me like this because of how fast they grow. i’ve gotten used to my spider plants reproducing like crazy, and i give them away or sell them all the time. if i hadn’t my house would be overrun by spiders lol

I was wondering if anyone was going to jump in with the tradescantias— same!! I “humanely” deprived (AKA gave up on) my tricolor because it was needy as hell and looking pretty stressed. (Still have an albo, zebrina, nanouk and baby bunny bellies though because they know how to behave themselves.)

Offer them up in a local group! Or leave them out with a free sign in a break room. There are definitely people who would be thrilled to get them.
