# I’ve recently been given an infant-ish spider plant, and I’ve noticed…

_Posted by Jack on 2026-09-02_

I’ve recently been given an infant-ish spider plant, and I’ve noticed this has happened twice now, it seems to just snap under the weight of its own leaves sometimes, how do I stop this from happening, if I even can?

Google “spider plant leaves bending” and it’ll tell you. Mine also has this problem! I’m hoping a repot and extra watering helps but as a whole it’s doing okay so I’m not that fussed on a couple bent ones 😂

Mine have a lot of bent ones too. I think it’s part of the life of the plant tbh. Mine are crazy healthy regardless
