# Hi, I have a spider plant that I had rescued. I recently separated…

_Posted by Jenna on 2023-06-30_

Hi, I have a spider plant that I had rescued. I recently separated him into 3 individual plants as he was fully root bound. I am now having the plant tip over. He seems to be growing too tall and not putting his leaves out enough. I have him supported currently. Any tips?

Maybe try rotating him every few days. He also might need more light?

I’ve been rotating him every couple of days. I’ll try putting him in a brighter spot. His leaves look healthy though. Way healthier than before repotting.

in my experience, spider plants usually tip over to get closer to their light source (i don’t know if that’s good or bad, but mine does it \& she’s growing and healthy), just keep an eye on it and i think they should be fine! you can rotate every few days if you’d prefer them to be more upright i’d think
