Repotted my spider plant because it wasn’t doing too well. New to plants…is this pot too big or will it grow to love it? Should I add more soil?

I think you need to bury it much deeper. Maybe to where the leaves separate?

It’s got a big root ball under there. So soil in the middle?

### Ellie commented on 2023-08-16

It should be fine but maybe just try to plant it deeper in the soil

Add fertilizer to deepen the color, grow stronger roots and produce spider babies.
