@ILoveMyPlants you can think of them just as an extension of their roots. They are more likely to happen when spiders don’t get consistent watering, from what I’ve gathered. Since they are native to areas with drought, these tubers are an adaption to help them survive the harsh conditions. So keep them on, if you can! I just had to cut my Bonnie out of a pot πŸ₯΄
Yes, leave them. The more the plant has the better.
@ITalk2Plants Have you had this happen ? If I remember correctly you can grow new plants from them also ?
Are you talking about the babies?
@Boymom-plantmom No the big white tubers at the end of roots.
Ok I was confused! lol I keep them and repot. They grow so fast! I had a HUGE one a couple years ago that I forgot to bring in and the cold got it 🫣
I just potted my first spider plant. Do you have any tips on taking care of them? οΏΌ
Thank you everyone who helped me out.
@DreamMachine That would make sense it was at a tent sale yesterday. I saw them zooming around with a hose on everything. So who knows how it was watered before that .
