Gwen in the soil is healthy but slow growing. (i’m aware there’s no drainage holes in the glass but i can see everything that’s going on inside so it’s easy to monitor. no root rot here !!) Myles in the perlite and water grew significantly faster. roots and leaves ! long story short, i will be doing hydroponics after propagation for my spider plants teehee ![2개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/1vc6E02o8mCQNy8KWtZirTAXZmhEp0124jzmjqYHwFQ/vx3Dg-bCRtWiKwpFObjMgQ.webp?size=large) ![2개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/1vc6E02o8mCQNy8KWtZirTAXZmhEp0124jzmjqYHwFQ/yxZHgU9STkS4swUu5jzDqA.webp?size=large) ## 6개의 댓글 ### Random Strands님이 2025-08-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. I’m wondering if the same pots had been used the same size exact pots it might have been different. Seems the disadvantage to one was no water drainage and that could have changed it up a little. I could be wrong. That was a neat test though. Think I’ll try it with some plants that I got today - as I bought two the same. This is making me curious now lol 😊 #### Jezzy님이 2025-08-30에 답변했습니다. they hold they same amount just different shapes ! and i can see the lack of drainage being a minor factor but i can see when i’ve watered it thoroughly without being water logged since it’s small and clear ! next time i run an experiment maybe i’ll switch things up a bit to make it seem more fair but imo this was pretty fair :) id like to see the results of your experiment ! ### Kirsten님이 2025-08-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. Neat! Good to know. Thanks for sharing 😊 ### Sunny님이 2025-08-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. I have a spider plant obsession. All in standard potting mix (with peat) and extra perlite. All pots have drainage. They thrive because the plants have very thick roots that soak up a lot of water and I don’t ration the amount of water the plant gets. Your soil looks like a chunky mix which doesn’t hold a lot of water like a moss based standard potting soil mix. I think if the soil mix was different, then, the plant growth rate would be the same if not higher in the soil. The roots can take in more water. Plus, the organic nutrients in the soil adds a boost not found in perlite. It’s just my experience. ![2개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/wefqOljjhEOiS9LRzOB1-QhxkVJiB4A5DGumXhnNrhs/rOufnfVJQ3mMMLRsBrsOTw.webp?size=large) ![2개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/wefqOljjhEOiS9LRzOB1-QhxkVJiB4A5DGumXhnNrhs/Ua-y_YE-Q8GmRHP5VGGI_w.webp?size=large) ### Wade님이 2025-08-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. Good to know because I have 7 babies growing on my spider plant right now. ### Celesta님이 2025-08-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. Thanks for sharing!
