It has two but they’ve been there for months and nothing else except new leaves. It’s a decent size spider plant too. ## 13개의 댓글 ### K님이 2024-05-01에 댓글을 남겼어요. Could be many things. Is the plant itself still growing? Could it be lacking pot space/nutrients/light? Is it in good conditions for roots? Plants are a little like humans: if they’re missing essential nutrition (through soil, light, or water) they won’t be able to make babies until that’s addressed #### plantsmania님이 2024-05-01에 답변했습니다. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/6EhZc5cX1boC_MFvVDSVcVVAQ1xlukMFQTFYTYcCPD0/jORQ5sBGQH-L6Lng5AOljQ.webp?size=large) #### plantsmania님이 2024-05-01에 답변했습니다. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/6EhZc5cX1boC_MFvVDSVcVVAQ1xlukMFQTFYTYcCPD0/kHxpcFWlTc22QeTWn2Wz8Q.webp?size=large) #### plantsmania님이 2024-05-01에 답변했습니다. The plant is still growing, has new leaves in the middle coming up. I just repotted her a little while ago. I’ve had her for more than a year. She gets sunlight and grow light but not all at the same time ofc. #### Vexed님이 2024-05-01에 답변했습니다. If you’ve just repotted her then she’s probably putting her efforts more in to setting in and growing roots then making babies aka making herself bigger and better first #### plantsmania님이 2024-05-01에 답변했습니다. How long would it take for her to get adjusted? I repotted her about a month or two ago. ### K님이 2024-05-01에 댓글을 남겼어요. Are the babies growing? #### plantsmania님이 2024-05-01에 답변했습니다. Yes! They’ve got some new leaves too! ### K님이 2024-05-01에 댓글을 남겼어요. Still could be many things but best bet is that she’s doing fine and just focusing on growing the existing babies, which is great. If they stop growing or she starts showing signs of distress then it’s another story, but sounds so far like you’re doing things right ### K님이 2024-05-01에 댓글을 남겼어요. Another note: it feels paradoxical but repotting could drop the reproduction rate past a ‘shock’ period from the repot itself. If the plant was pretty root bound, it may have operated with the logic of “there’s no room here so I should send what I can as far away as possible” Whereas a plant with room to grow may refocus itself on its own roots and growth. ### K님이 2024-05-01에 댓글을 남겼어요. I’m not claiming plants have actual logic but that’s my best explanation ### Jen님이 2024-05-01에 댓글을 남겼어요. I was always told to encourage baby’s, keep the mother plant on the dryer side and she will send out babies in search of water. I don’t know if that’s accurate but mine seem to send out the most babies when it’s under watered. #### plantsmania님이 2024-05-01에 답변했습니다. Ohhhh I will keep that in mind --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
