Can you please tell me how to take care of A SPIDER PLANT?

Some one gave me cuttings from their plant and I don't know whether to put it directly into soil or root it in water first. Pleas help...thank you. They were pulled off from the ends of the plants.

Can you please tell me how to take care of A SPIDER PLANT?
I have a Spider plant that I've had for 12 yrs. and I start all my little ones from this plant.


I usually put mine in a bowl with some water and let the roots get bigger and then plant them in a pot of good potting soil, usually in May..I use a hanging basket ...and hang them in my trees...shade yet some light...they do wonderful!!


Then I use them for gifts to my friends...I do this with alot of my plants....the plants keep giving....and I just keep sharing!

Reply:They already have roots,its those funny looking things at the end of the plant.Just put in soil to cover them and water good.Takes about 3,4 weeks to get good established,but very easy to grow,partial sun,to med. light water only when soil is dry.
Reply:Put into pot of moist soil. To do properly, the baby should be potted while still attached to the main plant so it has time to put down roots. It might work without being attached. I haven`t tried that way before. Try to keep soil moist but not waterlogged else it will probably rot.





Good luck!
Reply:Go to Wall-Mart purchase yourself a bag of miracle grow potting soil. Place this in container of your choosing. please a hole in soil where you want the plant, insert plant where disconnected from momma and press soil around it. moisten soil. After plants start to show new growth you should give them about 1/2 cup of food per day. Mix up miracle grow plant food as directed on container in gallon jug. If plant starts to get to wet cut back on the amount of food given.
Reply:Spiders thrive on neglect. You can't kill them easily. will live happily in water for years or plunk em in dirt. Plant must be rootbound to produce pups.





have fun.
Reply:I stuck mine in a glass of water and got a good root. Then stick them in the dirt. They are a pretty tough plant and can take a bit abuse.
Reply:Hello,


The cutting you got or the clone should already have roots developing.


Put in all purpose soil, let it get root bound and it will give off babies for you too.


These are rather a easy plant, you will do well!
