My SpiderPlant?

I got it from a friend when it came off a shoot, and it did amazingly well, then i forgot to take it in last week and the frost got to most of the leaves. I've cut all but the center two off, but their ends are still browning. Do you think it'll make it through? How can I get it back to where it was? I just took it out of the pot to make sure the roots were okay, and they're fine so i put them in water. They've been there for about an hour, and i was wondering if spider plants will grow hydroponically, and if i can keep it where it is or should i repot it. I'm not too worried about it right now, it's just the two leaves left are only an inch long, and i'd really like to keep this plant.

Spider plants can be grown hydroponically - with added nutrients. You have to keep the water clean too.





I'd re pot. Don't worry about the brown leaves until the new ones sprout - you can clip the old ones later. Leave them for now so it can make it some food! Use a very weak fertilizer every watering time over the next month - should speed up the growth. They are the best air cleaning plants and great because you really can't kill them.
Reply:Real sensitive plants are killed by frost You might lose all or most of the plantlets injured by the cold. Take a pair of scissors and cut the burnt brown leaves off . As long as you have live growth in the middle I think you're OK. Hold onto the main plant to see if it damaged the main roots in the pot. If not the plant should send up new shoots soon. The cuttings or plantlets do exceptionally well in water if have any left. If they get enough light you can add a little rapid or miracle grow in the water. I prefer miracle grow because it has trace elements. Remember to change the water every so often and clean the inside with a mild solution of soap and a little bleach. A little hint. If the leaves are all green, give it a little more sun, on the variegated (green and white) ones don't need as much
Reply:I'd put it back in the pot and keep it indoors in a draught free position. Don't water it too often and make sure there is plenty of light around it. Within a few weeks it will recover and start to grow. Within a year you will wonder why you ever worried.


Good luck.
