Reply:You might try calling the Animal Poison Control Center. 1-888-426-4435
Reply:no of cours
e not.
Reply:I found your information on the internet. The spider plant is non-toxic for your cat. So if your cat ate some of it, don't worry about it. I do know that any kind of lily is dangerous for your cat and can cause kidney failure. So keep all lily's away from your cat.
Reply:the spider plant wont hurt him, but to much might make him puke or have diarehea.. or might wanna try hanging the plant... the cats saliva might hurt the plant though...lol....
Reply:Here is a great article from one of my favourite websites.
The short answer is - no - spider plants are perfectly harmless.

What happens when a spider plant dies?
over the short term
over long term (many months)
What happens when a spider plant dies?
Um.... I think it just dies.
Well there are certain plants out there that can stand extreme condtions and drought like the ressurection plant. That plant will curl up and dry out like its dead, but once you give it some more water it comes back to life like nothing happened.
Reply:I am not really able to understand what you are asking. If a plant dies, it's just that....dead. Are you asking why it might be dieing?

Has any one planted a spider plant in watter crystals? would you recommend it?
Forget the "crystal" stuff. I've got a spider plant that's been growing in water for 2 years. Less expense. Lots of things root and grow in just plain water.
Has any one planted a spider plant in watter crystals? would you recommend it?
It's not necessary. Just place it on top of a pot of soil and it will grow and multiply quickly. I did this 4 months ago and the plants are now "spilling" over the pot!! They are very easy to grow.

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?
How would i go about planting a new spider from my spider plant?
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:Check the below site for that info.
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!

My spider plant looks healthy apart from some tips of leaves keep going brown what is causing this?
I have had a spider plant for years now. To keep them healthy trim the end of all leaves with brown tips every couple of months with scissors. Do this and check for watering 1-2 weekly in the summer and 1-2 a fortnight in the winter and your plant will have a long a fruitful life.
My spider plant looks healthy apart from some tips of leaves keep going brown what is causing this?
It's probably getting over or under fed
I had a spider plant and I loved it But my cat loved it more and ate the whole thing!
Reply:POSSIBLE ITS TOO NEAR A RADIATOR,SPRAY IT WITH WATER
Reply:water it at night
Reply:I have had the same spider plant for 14 years. When you bring plants inside they have to adjust to the change. Make sure the plant is not to close to a window. When my plants leaves turn brown I just cut that part off and the plant keeps growing. Don't worry it will live. This may sound stupid,but I talk to my plants every time I water them. GOOD LUCK

My spider plant has lots of little tiny white worms or larvae crawling in its soil. What are they?
And how do I get rid of them?
My spider plant has lots of little tiny white worms or larvae crawling in its soil. What are they?
Sounds like fungas gnats.
U of Colorado has a good piece about them, they are listed around the bottom of the page.
Shows photos which should help you identify as well as ways of managing it.
Reply:Mealy bugs, spider mites, white fly - seems you are in the larvae stage of one of those. Over watering / poor drainage can give these pest a good start. Best remedy is to totally repot / transplant. Empty entire contents into a trash bag and shake loose the plant itself. Try to shake plant of all dirt, etc. Then gently water sprayer through the plant/roots, then place in whole new set up. Would lightly dust with a bit of Seven Dust for good measure. I live in a humid area and most plantings are in ground - keep it all under control with dusts (spread sulphur dust everywhere in Spring). Seven Dust for incidentals.
Reply:Sounds like maggots so they will turn into flys soon. Dump the plant and burn it before they do.
Reply:Spray it with an insecticide for houseplants. Change the soil.
Reply:It could be plant mites. Hold it under a blast of water. If that doesn't work, spray it with an all purpose plant insecticide. You may have to get rid of it. Your other plants may get the mites.
Reply:My guess is fungus gnats - you probably water your plants too much. In general, let the soil dry up before watering and don't overfertilize them.
Reply:You don't have to burn your plant. Change your soil in your pot. Knock of any old potting soil, you may need to rinse of roots under water. Replant in a NEW pot with new soil. There are several all purpose sprays or powders you can use to control insect festation. Before using your old pot it needs to be scrubed out with hot water and bleach.

I have a spider plant called "Fire Flash" or "Mandarin Spider" and it's dying, any suggestions?
Browning and drying up leaves
I have a spider plant called "Fire Flash" or "Mandarin Spider" and it's dying, any suggestions?
Is it in a bright place, without direct sunny? When I move my to far from the window it does the same thing. They do like a lot of water and the less soil it has, the more spider babies it will put out.
Reply:Try replanting in bigger pot,and alittle food....
Reply:It could be root bound or have to much water. If root bound split it into two pots or put in a bigger one. If too much water let it dry out.
