New to this, but when can I try to propagate this pup? Haven’t done this before with Spider plant. Should I wait until the pup is bigger? Where do I cut the pup when it’s ready? Water propagation or straight to soil when it’s big enough? Help! Thank you 😀 ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/KHzGdnCH2HA2De-I9KxDm2OShuMwS2cz_hkfqO9VhQ4/ttifv9VaRuKDwlwCqfHpBQ.webp?size=large) ## 11개의 댓글 ### Ezzeldin Yaqoub님이 2024-11-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. The flowers and pups are found on the same stem. And it forms flowers before producing a pup. ### Wolfen 🐺님이 2024-11-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. My spider plant hates me..... it's a whole story. But it came from my friends coworker. She waits until the look like a little spider plant, before nipping them off. #### Abbi님이 2024-11-11에 답변했습니다. I want to hear this😂 I've never been able to get my two big ones to make pups but somehow the plant they came from (my moms) keeps making them faster then we can root them or give them away, pry has at least twenty on it🤦‍♀️ #### Wolfen 🐺님이 2024-11-11에 답변했습니다. Okay.. this is gonna be long, sorry OP.... . so my friend does not own plants, wants to, but every plant she's had, she waters once and forgets. So she asks me and another friend " my coworker has these spider plant babies, do you want one?" I said sure, it's not a plant I've kept before. So weeks go by right.. and I'm over at her place and I see these 2 little pots with little brown sticks inside, just tiny bit of green on top. I look closer and the soil might as well be petrified, it looks like one of those coir circles it's so puckered up!!!! So I go and drench them down. And I'm like "ma'am! Wth??" I took mine home and put it in the kitchen and it has just vaguely been alive since. I feel like it should be grateful and thriving, conconsidering it could still be puckered up on a lightless counter, but no...... she wants to be filled with spite. It's fine... I will continue to care for her. I just moved her to a different south facing window, and she seems a smidge happier. #### eatyacarbs님이 2024-11-11에 답변했습니다. 😂😂😂 this post is hilarious and i feel similarly about my ungrateful silver sword philo. if it helps, my spider did really well (before i lost it in a fire recently) to the left of a south facing window in a very chunky mix with lots of fine orchid bark and perlite. these grow natively on the forest floor so they like that debris vibe for media. brown tips are unavoidable, especially in south facing. if i get another one, i’ll hang it in a east facing window. don’t let it dry all the way out. #### Abbi님이 2024-11-11에 답변했습니다. Thats funny😂 i get so annoyed when I rescue a plant and it is ungrateful and doesn't do well...my alocasia currently being an example of this😏 #### Wolfen 🐺님이 2024-11-11에 답변했습니다. Alocasia are so dramatic!! _앱에 답글이 1개 더 있습니다._ ### laura 🩷🪴님이 2024-11-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. I also wait until they look like a mini spider plant! They usually have very clearly visible nodes by then and are easy to propagate in water. Mine produces pups all the time but has never flowered. ### Hayley님이 2024-11-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. I normally wait until it looks like a mini spider plant with 4-5 leaves that are at least 2" long. You can see in the picture with the plant momma pot that the pup is ready to come off. Then I pop it in water (usually with a little rooting powder or a pothos cutting). Once it looks like the second picture, with roots and secondary roots, I'll put it into soil. ![2개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/E74oCroo69AYnE3elMqN0uKik2R2q0ROCGKjlRpMOR4/Lcb4Bvi8S867cUm4f4bJdg.webp?size=large) ![2개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/E74oCroo69AYnE3elMqN0uKik2R2q0ROCGKjlRpMOR4/AwqTicGfRYaLD14Fab3WGg.webp?size=large) ### eatyacarbs님이 2024-11-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. you don’t have to wait until it’s \*quite\* this big, but you can see it has roots. those roots are what you’re waiting for. then you can just pop them into soil (or water prop if that’s your vibe, but these spread in nature by creeping along the forest floor on these runners) ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/437cvweqbki9dm3WGwIgPKYbWJm3edDRYD1cwUaz2Sw/axZpJ_SaRBqu4hAbR4rfuQ.webp?size=large) --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
