@NewMingthing40 The pot looks too big to me. I’d suggest putting them in as small a pot as they’ll fit in. These like their roots to be tight. In general, when a pot is too big the parts of soil the roots aren’t reaching as well stay much too wet. I bet they’ll recover just fine 👍🏻🌱

The plants in the picture are not the spiders I was asking about. However I will take your advice and repot in a smaller pot. Thaks for the tip.

They like to be snug and have air going to the roots so I pop loads of holes in their nursery pots to help.
