How much amount does the spider plant get in potting soil?

How much what?


Water? water once a week when soil is dry.


Soil? Fill container with soil, make a hole in the center, insert the spider plant.


Sun? Indirect light


Fertilizer? As long as you have a good potting soil then you don't need any.





Hope this helps

I have a spider plant that I believe to be at least 15 years old. How long do they live?

It's a houseplant, it's huge, and has been repotted about five times.

It will live as long as you keep it healthy. Spider plants propate by sending out those little shooters. Even as one part of the plant dies back, the new and younger parts will grow and replace it. It will only die if you don't take care of it. My mother has a spider plant that she has had for probably 25 years... she's actually made several new ones from the shooters off of the original. :)
Reply:I don't even re-pot mine, I've had it for 6 years. I put a shooter into water and it formed an awesome root ball. It would not bloom until I bought a new plant and them it shot a flower and a couple of shooters in the direction of the store bought plant. The one in soil died about a year later, but the water one (plus house dust) still is a live. It just doesn't bloom anymore.


[I can't believe I just made level four talking about my houseplant.]
Reply:they grow forever.


I have a piece of one in a cup ,sometimes no water,very little light, for years.
Reply:Spiders have eight legs.

I repot my spider plant and the leaves turned yellow?

it could be shock.


if you went to a pot that was too big for it, or too small. really when transplanting, you should only go up 1 size, possibly 2 depending on how big your plant is.


You should always give some fertilizer after a transplant...and water the plant BEFORE you plant it that way it is somewhat moist and wouldn't require a lot of water after the transplant.


so the yellowing could be too much water... or


have you moved it to a new location? maybe it's in a too sunny spot, or not getting enough sun.

maybe it is going to die...
Reply:add some fertilizer
Reply:Sounds like too much watering. Does the pot have a drain hole and saucer. Spider plants usually bounce back from most everything. Did you know they help keep impurities out of the air.
Reply:You could have not watered it enough. It could be shock too.

get well flowers

Can i repot a baby spider plant immediately?

i just got like 4 of them and put them in a pot with soil. now i read everywhere that people let them sit in water until they grow roots. will mine die if i just leave them in the pot with soil?

Can i repot a baby spider plant immediately?
You can start a spider plant in water or dirt. Keep the soil moist. I have had a start in water for months now and it has a shoot. I have knocked off babies before and just stuck them in dirt and they lived.
Reply:Not if you keep the soil wet until the roots grow.

I have a spider plant, its growing really well, but why do the ends of the leaves only keep turning brown?

The ends of the Spider plants' leaves are turning brown because you are using tap water to water them. The chlorine in the tap water is responsible for this, so you need to water the Spider plant with distilled water instead.

too dry enough
Reply:your spider plant, is in a draughty position.
Reply:the plant needs a humid atmosphere


give it a very light spray twice a day.
Reply:Yes, it is in a too dry position, try putting it in the bathroom or kitchen. Spray the foliage with cool water also you may need to water it more often
Reply:Where you have it the atmosphere is a little too dry for it.
Reply:The air is too dry Mist the plant a couple of times daily

Why is my spider plant turning brown on the ends of the leaves?

Low humidity and excessively dry soil may also cause brown leaf tips. so you need to water it.





also sudden tempature change can cause leave turn brown or drop too.

Why is my spider plant turning brown on the ends of the leaves?
EITHER NOT ENOUGH WATER, TO MUCH WATER OR IF YOU ARE FERTILIZING YOU MAY HAVE OVER DONE IT, JUST TRIM OFF THE ENDS AND LET IT CONTINUE TO GROW
Reply:Pot bound or too much fertilizer
Reply:It can be from too much water or too little. Check out the requirements for the plant and water it accordingly.

I have a spider plant with alota babies growing from it,anyone know how to repot them?

Spider plants are very easy. When the mother plant gets its roots pot-bound it starts throwing babies. Get one of those silver pans they sell to bake things in. Fill it with potting soil and water it well. Cut a baby spider off just above the new plant. Some of the mature babies actually have roots growing off the bottom already. Take those first. Push them down into the soil to cover those little roots. You can pack them in really close to each other. Keep the pan where it is a little cool and out of the direct sunlight. Water a little, once a week. In a few weeks the babies will have solid roots systems. When they reach this stage, I transplant each one into a large size plastic cup (you can get a bag of 50 of them at the grocery store). I poke a hole in the bottom of the cup so it has drainage. After a couple of months you can move them into regular pots. They REALLY like to have their roots pot-bound so let the roots fill the cup before moving on to a larger pot. I've even had these youngsters still in the cups start to throw out babies!


Good Luck!

I found the 2 best ways to do it is to either clip it and put it in water or leave it on the plant and stick it in soil this way it is still fed by the mother Plant till it grows roots then just clip it off and your ready to go
Reply:If you see little roots, you can plant them in little pots after cutting the long stem off. Sometimes I put them in a little jar of water until they are showing more roots, then pot them up.
Reply:Only cut off the babies that have roots already. Place these in a pot with potting soil and push them down slightly. Keep the soil moist until they take. If your spider starts creating too many babies re-pot it. All of the strength will go into creating the babies and they mother plant will do poorly.
Reply:Pinch the runner and put the baby on moist soil. Keep soil moist. Plant will root. You can also place a pot of moist soil under baby while still connected to mommy and it will root.
Reply:Stick them in moist dirt is the easiest, same as rubber plant leaves.
Reply:Place the starts in a glass of water until a root system gets started then you can repot.
Reply:Just put them in another pot of dirt and water regularly. They will take very easily!! Then give them away as x-mas gifts or sell them on e-bay. :-)
