Spider Plants?

I am trying to root a snipping of my spider plant. What's the best way to do it?


I'm kind of a n00b when it comes to plants, I just recently got interested.


The bigger plant looked kind of like this:

Spider Plants?
Your plant looks like it needs a bigger pot. You can also take your baby spider still attached and bring it down into the soil next to the mother plant using a wire to keep it from popping up out of the soil-then in about a week-snip the cord from the mother plant-kind of like birthing (lol). You can transplant to another area. I probably have 40 or 50 plants I've gotten from one large mother plant using this method. Good luck. The other ideas represented earlier are also effective.
Reply:I put the new starts in a glass of water until they grow good roots, then plant them in a pot with some good potting soil. Before you know it you will have them all over!
Reply:spider plants will root in a glass of water.


Once you have roots, transplant into


a planter with soil.
Reply:The best luck I have had is rooting in water just put the little section in a cup of water and watch for roots it doesnt take that long but I usually wait until there are atleast afew roots and then transplant these plants are like weeds once established just remember to keep water in the glass-good Luck!
Reply:Spider ivies produce pups that look just like the full size plant only in miniature. These pups come with their own roots.


Just snip them off and put them in their own container.
