# Any time i try to plant a spider plant baby, it does this and all…

Any time i try to plant a spider plant baby, it does this and all turns brown and dies! I let it grow roots for a couple months before planting. Any idea on why this happens? This is probably my 4th attempt with same result.

The soil sure looks dry

Mine have done that any time they don’t have enough roots before disconnecting them from the parent plant. You could try putting the baby in its own pot but leaving it connected to the parent plant until it’s more established?

That does not happen to me because it is doing awesome. You have to water every day you know😁

The pot it’s planted in looks a little large for the size of the plant. Have you ever tried putting it in something much smaller? Spider plants prefer to be a little root bound.

That was my suggestion as well. Too much soil in a large pot. Keeps the roots wet too long. Try a beginner pot and upsize in stages.
