🚨 Spider babies update! 🚨 So I was recommended to add some perlite to the water to help these little babies grow and they’ve really shot out some roots over the last week. I think I’m ready to pot them but unsure if I should pot one plant per pot or double them up? What’s the suggestion?? My plan is to gift these at Xmas to family and friends! 🪴🕷️

    Oh wow, so did the perlite give the plants some added nutrients to push out more roots? I’d pot them individually since spider plants tend to grow fairly fast, especially if you’re giving them as gifts!!

    I wonder if that is only with Spider plants. 🤔. I have a Golden Pothos I’m trying to root.

      Idk haha, those are my props, I only was able to save two cuttings of my pothos (died from root rot) and so I’m willing to try anything now before I give up

      I’m very experienced with outdoor gardening but brand new to indoor…. So we will see how I do! 🙈 Good luck with these babies!
