Gomez thrives in his tin home!
My pal Gomez in a recycled coffee tin. My spider plants in metal pots are the happiest ones!🌱 #SpiderPlant #HappyPlants #upcycledpot #Nallon

@Hypsie I wish I could tell you exactly why, but I had one in a glazed no drain pot and it got root rot, had one in plastic with drainage for a while, but should have repotted and let it get too root bound. One was also lovingly donated to my hamster as they’re safe and can be used for building nests, he then chewed it too the root and dug out all the soil… I got all of these as babies from a friend’s mother plant, and the ones in recycled cans with holes drilled in the bottom are doing the best. I think they like more space than you expect as juveniles and the depth of the cans grants them that without being too wide to swallow them. When established, being a bit root bound isn’t an issue as it helps produce the pups, but once you’ve got some and trimmed them, repot straight away. They’re so easy to care for and also do well propping in water too. Absolutely get one when you can, and you’ll have a few before you know it! 🌱
@fueledbykaty I believe we have discovered a spider plant hack without knowing - I’ve kept every tin from coffee etc ready to repot the babies in the future 😎🌱
