Hello, I’m wondering why my spider plant will not grow more offshoots/babies? It has two but they’ve been there for months and nothing else except new leaves. It’s a decent size spider plant too.

    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

      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.

      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

      How long would it take for her to get adjusted? I repotted her about a month or two ago.

    Are the babies growing?

      Yes! They’ve got some new leaves too!

    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

    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.

    I’m not claiming plants have actual logic but that’s my best explanation

    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.
