New spider plant Mommie here!! Any tips or info on how to keep her beautiful like she is now are much needed and welcome!! I know they say you canāt kill it, easiest plant to care for ever but those are the ones I habitually have zero luck with!! She seems to be full of pups, do I leave them alone or remove and propagateā¦. Yeah Iām lost with this!!
Keep it in your brightest room, but far from a window. Water when it feels light and liquid feed once a month!

ooo beautiful!!!!! i like the look of the babies hanging offā¦ but when the pups get kind of big iāll take them off & propagate them in water. i think itās a personal aesthetic preference:) i have wayyy too many spider plants cuz i feel bad tossing out the babies š
2 gillningar iād also guess that the main pot your plant is in is multiple spider plants. you could separate them if youād like to spread them out around your home
2 gillningar How big should they be cuz it seems like some are huge!!
1 gilla Awweee, thatās like me!! My bestie and me are trying to start a little plant propagation company. I love doing it so why not make a couple extra dollars for more plants!! lol š
2 gillningar ehhh.. your plant looks crazy healthy. ātoo bigā for me is like the longest leaf of the baby being like 8 inches. or if i notice the mother looking sad because sheās giving out too much energy keeping the babies alive. again, itās definitely a personal preference
2 gillningar i wish you and your bestie luck!! thatās a super cute idea & with spider props i bet you guys will be millionaires š

Wow, from the picture, it looks like there are a lot of pups. I took about 5 pups from my MIL and propagated them in water until they grew roots then planted them in soil. This is mine today. They like a lot of indirect light. And I agree that theyāre pretty easy. š
Yeah it sure does itās like everywhere you touch itās a pup!! My niece pulled a pup off on the way home, little stinker, so I guess that will be what Iām up to tonight is reading on propagating at least the one she pulled off, that is of I can find it, itās so dang thick I looked for it once already but couldnāt find it, maybe this time Iāll have better luck!!
1 gilla Iād like to think of myself as a pro at hydroponics but Iāve yet to look into how to propagate the spider plants pups, I sips prolly check that out soon!!
1 gilla Since you have so many pups, select largest ones and cut the stem close to the pup. I used a styrofoam to cut out small holes for each pup and put them in water. You can use root drops if you want. This is how mine started. Change out water every so often.
Oh Ty for this awesome advice!!
1 gilla I do use root drops!! These are what Iāve always used. I also use that when Iām repotting and it helps with the shock ā”ļø
