How would i go about planting a new spider from my spider plant?

Where at and when should I cut the spiderette? Is it advisable to put it in water, and how much of the spiderette should be submerged?

I've done this many times, both using soil and, with less success, using water.





Cut off a "baby" spider near where the baby meets the "stem" from the main plant, and bury the part that looks like tiny little roots in some loose/well-aerated soil. Water regularly and within six weeks to three months, you're ready to pot up. Alternative, you can try placing the "roots" in a glass of water, making sure to keep the water level at all times on the roots. After the roots have grown several inches, pot it up in some soil.





I recommend trying both methods -- spider plants are among the most easily propogated houseplants.

Reply:There are a couple of things you can do.


1. Wait till you see the baby grows some of roots, then you can cut it from the parent plant.





2. Place another pot beside the parent plant and place the baby on top of the soil. The baby will do the rest of the work by growing it's roots into the soil. Then in a couple of weeks cut it from the parent plant.
Reply:dig around the new baby and pry it up, sever the root about half way between it and the mother, plant it in the new location, and water for the first three days, then back off to once a week! no fertilizer is needed!
