# PLEASE HELP. I bought this spider plant and I knew it needed repotted…

_leenさんが2023-08-08に投稿しました_

PLEASE HELP. I bought this spider plant and I knew it needed repotted but what I didn’t know is that these roots are OUT OF CONTROL and there is a grow pot stuck inside! Does anybody have any advice? Should I try to get the grow pot out or leave it??

I’m now realizing the bigger pot I got, isn’t nearly big enough. Do you think I could try to split this thing? 😅

#### leenさんが2023-08-08に返信しました

I don’t want to, I just don’t have a big enough pot, I don’t think. I’ll just repot it in the slightly larger pot now and look for an even bigger one, I guess 🥲

thank you!!

You can trim some of the roots down to fit it in the pot you want. It has so many, it may actually benefit the plant and stimulate new growth by doing so.

I was gonna say the same as this! I’ve seen videos of people just slicing the bottom couple of inches of roots off the plant so they can put it back in the same pot and it’ll have room to grow

#### leenさんが2023-08-08に返信しました

Oh I didn’t know that was a possibility! I will do that, thanks!

was about to suggest this, spider plants are so hardy. my large one i trim the roots every few years to keep it in the same pot and it grows back better every time!!

I think I did it 😅 it looks good for now! Hopefully it survives all of my hacking 🔪 🥲

the massacre. lol. i know it never feels good initially but i’m sure your spider plant will thank you in a few weeks when it has reestablished itself :-)

#### leenさんが2023-08-09に返信しました

it does look like a massacre 🤣 I can’t wait to watch this buddy thrive now that it has room to grow! Thanks for your help!
