@Forbes57 Hi Patti, it might be the soil you have it in. They are epiphytes so they grow best in orchid bark and like to dry out in between waterings. Since orchid bark is hard to check moisture you'll have to rely on the weight of the pot after you water to determine when it's ready for a drink. Changing its substrate should help immensely.
@princesspitstop I know they’re not aroids but would aroid soil be good for them? I also have orchid bark and can mix the two.
@Forbes57 I've had the best luck propagating spider pups in water then transferring them to succulent soil mix with some perlite to live in permanently. Here's one of my guys. Everyone is inside because of Snowpocalypse lol but I usually have them hanging outside in a North facing direction. Again no direct sunlight. The pups are under a grow light.
OMG… gorgeous. My 2 plants have shrunk to the size of your pups. Maybe I’ll try repotting them together using your mix. They started in water but haven’t thrived since I potted them. Might be the soil. I’m not good with moving my plants in and out. Only ones outside are my succulents (because I ran out of space inside 🥹) I have opposite weather in AZ. Too hot sometimes and even a little bit of direct sun in the summer can be devastating. Just easier to keep them inside. 🤗
