Hey there! I've had spider plants for a long time and I know how to produce pups. My tenant had a spider plant as long as I have and couldn't do it. I just demonstrated what to do with her and it worked. You have to get the plant a little stressed. Get it root bound, and water it a little less than you should. I starved my tenant's one of water until the leaves got wavy recently. The plant in the wild would sense that it is no longer in the ideal spot and put out pups to try to shift its energy to a more ideal spot. After I stress it a little I pot it up (it's root bound) and I water it. Bam! You have pups.

@LianeSpicer 2 жыл бұрын
You're so right about that. I lost several gorgeous spider plants and could not figure out why until I read somewhere that tap water is a killer for them. So now I fill a 2-gallon water container with tap water and leave it uncovered on the counter for a few days. Then I screw on the cover and use that water for my spiders. I also water only when the plant is quite dry, roughly once a week. Started doing that almost 2 years ago and the two I have now continue to thrive and send out lots and lots of pups.

With my slider plant, I made a lot of mistakes. First, the pot I put it in was way too big and I kept leaving it where the cat could get to it. It was down to one tiny cat-bitten leaf. Then I decided, you know what, I have a plant that needs a bigger pot, and this one's tiny, so I'll switch them. The results were almost immediate. My tiny spider plant was put into a 4 inch pot instead of a 7 inch pot, and it was so much happier. It took off and within 3 months it was a full spider plant with a baby stem emerging. I didn't repot it until it was so big that the pot looked like it was about to fall over. It's doing great and now has a total of 4 baby stems, one of which branched and had two on it. What I've learned is simple: spider plants like to be root bound. Not extremely root bound, but they do very well in smaller pots. it makes over watering them unlikely, it makes them put out babies in search of new soil, and as long as you use a plastic pot, you should have no issues with the roots getting stuck and getting damaged.

@KewlQT 3 жыл бұрын
I get tons of baby spiders produced from my plants. I find to encourage this you need to keep them a bit root bound. Think of the shoots of spiderletes like aerial runners. A pot bound plant will produce more than one with lots of room to stretch out its roots. The only downside is watering. It will become hard to penetrate the center mass of the root ball. So what I find works best is to totally submerge the pot in a tub of Luke warm water (I never use icy cold water on my tropicals as it can shock the plant. So room temp is best.) Submerge the pot just below the soil line and wait until all the air bubbles have stopped rising to the surface. Maybe a bit longer if your plant feels lighter than normal therefore needs time to have a good drink. The next step is critical. Let all the excessive water drain out. If it's in a really large pot this could take up to an hour. Once all excess water has drained you're done and you can place it back on its saucer and return it to its home. One side note is that this is best for larger spider plants and since all that water weight gets heavy you may want a friend to help out with the lifting and holding back all the fronds of baby spiders as you submerge the mother plant. Hope this helps.

Definitely gonna try treated water for my girls. The water in my pond is treated & now that you mentioned the watering, I noticed they do seem to do much better in there as far as crispy tips, so I'm gonna transition my potted girls to the dechlorinated water too.

Love reading everyone’s plant stories! And this video is fantastic! This is the biggest diva of a plant I have ever had-even more so than orchids! Whoever said it was a low-light plant did nooot get to know this plant very well. Story: I did a plant swap with my neighbor, she has two HUGE spider plants with tons of babies each, and she had several propagated, so she gave me one. Hers are beautiful and getting lots of sun and loving life. My little guy….crispy tips galore 😅 But then again, she’s one of those magical people that plants just blossom when she walks in a room. I think I was watering it too much, so I’m going to try and let it dry out more between waterings. I swapped her a date-palm and a loquat for her spider plant (I had three of each in total, so I really didn’t need them), and even her loquat is already doing ten times better than mine haha. Of course, I’m only 26 and she is about 50-something, so she’s got just a tad more experience than I do 😅 Good luck, everyone! Edit: I didn’t realize they liked humidity! I have mine right next to my air-plant that I spray regularly. I’ll try the same for my spider plant!

I inherited a spider plant in 2010 that was in a very large (20+ inch) pot and I haven't repotted it. It's very happy and puts off a ton of babies. I've rooted quite a few babies over the years and they're not fussy. I think the all green versions are more tolerant of low light conditions. My large mother plant lives outside under the staircase and it gets morning sun/afternoon shade. It puts out dozens of babies every year. I planted some clones last year in my raised bed planter which only gets sun until around noon and they have put out dozens of babies. I generally don't fertilize them, I just add worm castings every few months. I use regular potting mix for both established plants and when I'm propagating them

I have them hanging from redwood tree branches and water them frequently, sometimes every day in the summer. They have so many babies, I can’t count them all. They’re about 3 feet wide and between 4-1/2 and 7 feet long. They’re in indirect light all day with just a glimmer of direct sunshine. Maybe this helps some of you who want them but don’t know where to put them. They do extremely well both inside and out…and not toxic to animals, but cats do love them!

And, I have tried almost everything from bright indirect light for a couple years to a shadier spot for a couple years while watering it regularly and still no babies. Otherwise, it is a very healthy plant, everyone that sees it comments how beautiful it is. The only thing I hadn't tried was fertilizing it, until today I made my own organic fertilizer I've used on other plants, egg shells, banana peels and coffee grinds. Anywho, lol thanks for taking the time to share your tips. God bless you!😇

Thank you for the care tips.I started with 2 hanging baskets of spider plants in 2020,that time I don’t know how to take care of them i just watered them with purified water and when it reached the maturity tons of babies hanging and thinking they were so beautiful I don’t have the idea that i can propagate them, so when my friend saw them she asked me how come i don’t cut the babies and put them in water till roots gets longer and put them in soil so that’s what i did now i have tons of pots but after i put them 12:57 before it got cold the mother plants got brown tips so maybe i over watered them .i neglected the care im giving coz i have so many indoor plants and the watering and lighting conditions not all at the same time , I really appreciate your videos,all the informations are helping me.❤

My spider plant was gifted to me as a rooted baby and I put it straight outside (it was Spring/Early Summer). By the end of summer, it had babies. I kept it on my back patio which has Northeast sun. I was also fertilizing on occasion.

Thanks. I got a spider plant from my grandma when she passed so I really want to keep it happy. It’s getting crispy. So I guess I’ll use filtered water.
@kadeaudain6991 3 жыл бұрын
You should also Mist your plant often, they love humidity! I think it isn't getting enough water or it could be in too direct sunlight. Maybe take it away from the window and keep it in a spot where it gets indirect light.

Skip forward 5 months and they're thriving, the largest having to have been repotted THREE TIMES and is now producing its first baby!! Spider plants really are the best!

Hey thanks for the tips! I absolutely adore spiders 🌿there have been times I've completely forgotten to water them but they do great. They seem to do well in my medium light environment as well. My spider is a mom of 5 big beautiful re-planted adult babies. I recommend these for anyone trying to have a green thumb, but don't quite have one yet.

Great information thank you. For us humans too. We bought a distiller from waterwise for 399. Hubby actually drinks water now, reduced his BP tremendously. We put filters on showers, and outdoor faucets for hoses to veggie/fruit gardens. Huge difference in plants. Your skin wont need half the moisturizer either.

I thought that my spider plant needed a larger pot, so I repotted it. It immediately acted like it was dying. I heard,on UTUBE that they like to be root bound, so I put it back in the smaller pot. It broke out in a long string that bloomed and was covered by babies, which I gave away. Now it has 2 of those baby producing stems. One is Very long and has 2 branchs out from that, plus another one going in a different direction. It's in an East window. 🦋

They need to be root-bound in order to produce the pups (I never have heard them called babies or pups). I've always called them airplane plants because the "babies" were the airplanes.

I have spider plants I started from the babies of my friend and now they are 'having babies'. I do have them in reasonably good light, but in the dark at night. They are getting quite big now, so I need to repot them. I am in Canada, so the sun light is sparse now, so I move them from window to window or have them under good light too. So I think if you keep your spier plant in the dark for about 10 hours, it will too have babies. Alena. By the way, love your plants and your caring about them. They know, they feel it. I just got 2 days ago to small crowded pots of spike plant (plan to repot it tomorrow) and they have grown in those two days - I can't believe it. Of course I love my plants and talk to them a lot. I also play solfeggio music here a lot and keep as harmonious space here as I can. It seems to me that they like it too. Hope this helps.

I moved out of my mom's place after college and she gave me a spider plant that wasn't in the best of shape. It was a couple years old and had its first few babies when it arrived. A year later, it's growing babies like mad! I have so many flowers as well. My grow light is on a timer for 12 hours each day and I water it only once or twice a month with distilled water with plant food in it. To answer your question: I think it takes a lot of patience for it to happen. My mom never saw those flowers and babies at all but when i got it the spider plant just decided "sure, why not?". It took a lot of trial and error for me to find out what was wrong with my spider. You definitely take care of your plants way better than I do so I think they'll come eventually!

I put one of mine outside(UK), against a north facing wall, so it got rain watered, early morning and evening light and was shaded in the day. It grew so well and had good wide leaves. There was also a stronger contrast between the green and white on the leaves, the green got a lot deeper. I brought it in after the first frost.

I use worm castings (maybe 2x a year) and I get tons of babies. Also gives off seeds at least 2x a year. I used tap water amd do not have softener. At a minimum I put it in the shower 4 times a year.

Its magnificent how fast and big that they grow! Perhaps you could try this method? Many blessings..

I have always had spider plants and I keep them outside on a hanger spring-fall and they get direct afternoon/evening sun in Louisiana and they love it. I get TONS of babies. I cant get rid of them fast enough. I let them stay on the plant until they have a good root cluster on them and then put them straight into their own pot. They will produce their own babies within about 6 months if in pretty direct bright light. I put them under a grow light inside in the winter but they don't grow as well. This is just my own experience with them and may differ from others experience. They are variegated in the winter and a pretty green when they are outside
