Lookin good! I've had a similar plant that has been struggling for longer than I'd like to admit -- you have inspired me to chop it and water-prop it! Hopefully it's new start will allow it to look as good as your plant!
@sarahsalith Aww Sarah, you are too kind! ๐Ÿฅน The mother plant was at my office space and got the best afternoon sunlight - it was even direct sunlight and she just thrived! The mother plant is still going strong and is putting off new growth where I clipped off the babies! I am sorry to hear your plant has been struggling! I am glad to know I have inspired you! ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ These plants propagate SO well in water! I got a two leaf โ€œstartโ€ from my mother-in-law and now the rest is history. Keep me posted on how that goes! I am curious to see what your experience is! ๐Ÿ’œ
@sarahsalith here is the new growth on the mother plant ๐Ÿชด
Wow, good for you! This is a stunning plant, immaculate leaves ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ
@elisenavidad Thank you Elise! ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ Look at the size of this leaf compared to my hand ๐Ÿ˜ณ
@theloveofplants holy cow!? I didnโ€™t know they got that big!? Thatโ€™s phenomenal, you really have the touch ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป
@elisenavidad I had no idea either!!!! ๐Ÿ˜‚ I was shocked! Apparently these plants LOVE to be root bound. I have had this plant in the same pot for a good while now; then that leaf came out. I was like โ€œyou are staying where you are for now because you are so HAP!!!!โ€
@theloveofplants no kidding!! Donโ€™t move that thing!! I only have a baby propagation from a friend right now but after seeing yours, I really am excited now !!!
@elisenavidad - aww yes, be patient with your little one, because all of a sudden - itโ€™s like BAM! And it just grows like crazy!!
Any advice for meee ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ
@ThunderCat Kat, my first thought is that each pot is too big. Always good to choose the pot based on the size of the rootball and not the size of the plant. Do you have pots to downsize? My next thought-how often do you water them?
@theloveofplants
Well done Joseph ๐Ÿฅณ
Don't they just make you smile growing from lil shoots ๐Ÿ˜into lovely adult plants He's gorgeous
@theloveofplants i currently donโ€™t have any smaller pots. If that will I make that happen before they are too far gone ๐Ÿ˜ญ also, I have been following this apps for watering
@ThunderCat - you could always get a nursery pot from the store to put the plant in as it recovers. They are not expensive. Sometimes you have to adjust your watering schedule. If the app tells me to water and if the soil is still too wet - I will snooze the request to water.
@Chevysgirl11 Hehe - thank you Caroline! ๐Ÿ’• they really do make me smile!! I love making new plants with plants I already have!
@theloveofplants thank you for advice! Very helpful!!!
@ThunderCat you are welcome! Happy to help out!
It's brings such satisfaction I'm a little like that with all my spider babies ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'll never be without a spider plant the plant that keeps on giving ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿชด
