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? 😅

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

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!!

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 :-)
좋아요 1개it 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!
