# My baby spider plants look really sad, propagated and planted them…

_Posted by Sam 🪴🌷 on 2024-05-21_

My baby spider plants look really sad, propagated and planted them about a month ago and they looked great but now they look super depressed. They’re near a window with a good amount of light but my watering schedule is probably iffy at best and idk if there is enough soil in the pots. ADVICE PLEASE I have no idea what I’m doing 😭

First photo is them 1 month ago, second photo is them now

Looks like they might need more soil, my plant was from babies about the same size and I noticed the growth stopped around the same time so I repotted and it exploded. Now mines huge and making babies only four months later. They’re pretty tolerant of iffy watering because they’re not dramatic plants.

Do you think I should just add more soil or replace it completely?

Depends on if the rootball is really filled out or not if f seams like it’s just the bottom then you can probably get a little longer in then by adding dirt to the bottom of the pot if it seems really roots all around I’d upsize to the next size pot
