I am so excited!!! I will be growing my first spider plan...

I am so excited!!! I will be growing my first spider plant from seed!! Oh my heck!! My own spider plant seed that grew from Walt himself. Incredible!!🀩πŸ₯³πŸ₯ΉπŸ˜­πŸŒ± I have 2 seeds and I hope one of them germinates 😁✨ #HappyPlants #SpiderPlant #SpiderPlantBabies #PlantAddict
11” pot with drainage
Last watered 3 days ago
How do I get my spider plant to grow babies? I’ve had it for so long and this is as big as it’s got.
You need to be patient and let the plant grow bigger. When it's ready it will grow babies itself. @YokeMonkeymask
Congratulations πŸ‘Œ. I can see a few babies hanging on your Walt. It's much easier to propagate them, if you want to. 😍😁
@YokeMonkeymask It was about 2 years that I had my spider plant and it would not grow babies. I then pulled it out of the pot and found that the roots of the plant molded to the soil and shape of the pot, almost as though it ran out of room while trying to grow. I took it out of the pot and lightly pulled the roots so they would hang and not be attached to the soil. Once I did that and put it in a bigger pot, and I started getting vines with flowers! A couple weeks later and I eventually had spider plant babies come in. I hope that helps!
@YokeMonkeymask it’s looking almost there!! Like @SvelteKingfern said definitely a waiting game! I think @Sleepysicle said some great advice.. if you’re not seeing progress (photos are important bc sometimes I think nothing is happening, but no! There’s a ton 🀩) it is time to check the roots! I just about killed Walt here… πŸ₯ΉπŸ™ŒπŸŒ± when I started getting consistent with watering and I increased light (bright bright bright indirect light) the plants took off!! Oh and also humidifier for the flowers in the summer! Of course!! Where it all went wrong: don’t upsize too large of a pot. Only 2-3” larger than the root mass- check out their crazy roots on pic 4 (I put the 2 spiders in a 30” pot with no drainage 😞 don’t do that pleaseeee !!)
Oh my goodness!!!!! Check out the babies im propagating πŸ₯³πŸ€©πŸŒ± @SvelteKingfern they are taking off!! I’m hoping to plant them all together and have a crazy curly and straight spider plant mixup!! @YokeMonkeymask @Sleepysicle did you know there’s a curly spider plant - the Bonnie and a straight one- idk the nameπŸ˜‚?! 🀩🌱✨
WHAT???!! Go Walt!! πŸ€—πŸ’šπŸ•·οΈπŸͺ΄ That's so cool! Congratulations πŸŽ‰πŸ‘
@princesspitstop thank you so much!!! AHHH! I’m so mad I threw away all the other ones 🀩πŸ₯ΉπŸŒ±βœ¨ BHAHAHAHAHA eeekkk!!! :)
There are a few different varieties of spider plant! Green centers with white margins, white centers with green margins, ones with cream centers with green margins that turn totally green once they get older! And of course curly Spider Plants. I want one so bad!!! 😍They are sooo cute! πŸ₯°
@princesspitstop OH MY GOSH I NEED THEM ALL!!!!! A dream!!! A dream!!! I’m googling them 🀩😭🌱✨ bless I learned more NEW STUFF THANK YOU SO MUCH HEIDI🀩🌱✨πŸ₯³
Cute propagating flasks too!! 😍😍 I love spider babies, so easy to prop and they just deliver the goods without any fuss!
@YokeMonkeymask following this because I too am having the same issue. I’m actually weathering a slight mistake of repotting in way too large a pot. After changing the water and watering, it is responding beautifully.
@Prentyce Wow! Excited for you. Please keep us posted. Wishing you all the best.
@GreenPurpose thank you so much!!! You too Juan ✨🀩🌱look at that stunning spider!! Eek 🀩✨🌱
