I love how plant people acknowledge their plants as living beings like a dog or a cat “he doesn’t like it” “he might be in shock, I hope he’ll be ok” “if he doesn’t like it he’ll let you know”
I name mine... And talk to them. Yep, I'm one of those lol
You probably dont care but does anyone know a tool to log back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Theo Kieran instablaster :)
@Terry Rudy Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Terry Rudy it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass !
Just want to say that I really appreciate you giving temperature measurements in both Fahrenheit and Celsius - it makes things so much easier for me to understand. Subscribed!
Of course! I'm so glad that helps! Thanks for subscribing!!
You’re right about not overwatering it however if you mist it even daily including the pups your plant will thrive and throw out more pups for you. a little bit of pampering never hurt any plants, you know
Ahh good to know! I will try to start misting them more then! Thanks!
Also, if u wanna mist them, don't forget to let them get lots of airflow! I bought a small fan from amazon and I like giving my plants a light breeze especially if I mist them
@@kuronuma666 Ooh good to know! Thanks!
I’m going to try this method. Thx for sharing!
@@novabova73 yeah it should :)
I really appreciate how you organize your videos so I can come back to them and find exactly what I need.
Thanks! Yesss that's my goal! Make the info easy to find
I found you just in time to save my neighbors spider plant. She was having a time with the leaves turning yellow so I sent the video to her and she had put all her spider babies in water and we both are using rain water or bottled water. Thank you so much 👏👏👏👏👏
Oh good! So glad to hear it worked out! Thanks for watching and sharing :)
Thankyou for the info! My spider plant was going brown and it must of been the water! Thanks again! X
Aww glad its on the mend!
I have humungous spider plants and I've had great success except for tips turning brown. Thank you so much!
I love spider plants because they are (one of) the only plants that I’ve ever been able to keep healthy and happy in my house!!
Aw I absolutely love your energy! So calm but still so captivating thanks mucho!!
Yesss
Aww Thank you so much! That makes me so happy!
Hmm mm?
love this video! i just purchased a spider plant and i look forward to using these tips :)
Ooh exciting! I hope it grows well!
Thank you!!! So much for your insight! I was perusing the 99 cent store for some tape and they actually had some small potted plants. So I picked up my spider plant, Herbert Leifington and his wife Pamela Leifington (she’s an English Vine)
My spider plant survive outside all year around even though I live in Sweden and it's snowing.
Goodness that's amazing!
Im am here for the editing!!! Thank you so much for labeling the video and breaking it up the way you did. This was awesome when trying to find one piece of info! Thank you for your time and insight :)
No prob! Glad it's helpful :)
Thank you for this video! I've recently gotten two spider plants and I'm looking forward to taking care of them :))
Thank you for your info about spider plant. Great video!
I've never thought about collecring rainwater for plants...I live in the PNW so we have plenty of rain. Thanks.
Ooh yeah you have loads of rain! Plants love rain water so start collecting!
I do this! I collect it in a cooler for now. Lol but it works.
Make sure you can some places don't allow you to collect rain water and will even fine you for it. Just giving you a heads up so you don't end up with police at your door.
This is such a good idea!!!
About to pot my propagated spider plant, thanks so much for all of this information!! 🌱😄🙌🏼
Really enjoyed this! Great edit and super helpful, to the point.
Thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying!
something about your videos make me so happy and thanks for the info!
Awww I'm so glad to hear that! Thank you so much for watching!
I just got my first spider plant and Im super excited 😄
I loved my Spider plant. My brother bought it for me 4days ago...
Looks good in my living room..
Much love from Malaysia.
Oooh super exciting :)
Yeah.. 😊
Recently became a plant Mom - Started with 3 deck plants 4 weeks ago, and now I have 10 outdoor deck plants, and 6 indoor plants with 4 succulents on the way. Obsessed with this lifestyle for sure’
Thank you for all this info! Also just so you know, all though the snake plant isn’t poisonous for humans and animals it apparently can be a psychedelic for cats 😂 seriously we’re about to adopt a cat and my research about my house plants found this 😂 Great channel - officially subscribed!
Ooh yay! Welcome to plant parenthood! Hahah it certainly can be a bit of an addiction! But at least it's a healthy one!
So glad you enjoyed the video! I didn't know that about snake plants! That's certainly a fun fact! Thank you so much for watching and subscribing!
Thank you for the care tips! 😊👏🏽🌱☀️
Of course! So glad I could help ;)
Love spider plants ❤️ I have nine, all propagated from the variegated mother plant and they now all have their own babies. Also got a lemon one but no babies yet 😔. Really like the format of your videos Emma, keep up the great work 😊
Ooh it sounds like you've got a lovely collection!
Thanks for the info,nice content
I love your energy and the way you talk. Thanks for the video :D
Aww thank you :)
Thank you lots for this video! I recently got a spider and now I know how to be a good mom to it :)
Of course! I love sharing my plant knowledge with the world! Best of luck with your new plant baby!
Really helpful video, so much information, thank you 😊
So glad I could help
I love your energy, thanks for the info!
Thanks! So glad you enjoyed :)
Thank you for this video!!❤️ My best friend just gifted me a huge spider plant, and I don’t want to kill it...lol
You'll do great! They basically thrive on neglect and indirect light!
My spider plant started turning yellow on some leaves. Thank you for the tip about the kind of water, in my city the faucet water has fluoride. I have a few babies in a glass and they're loving life.
hi i really like your channel. and your plants. definitely do more of these.
Aww thank you so much! I certainly will ;)
Wonderful! Thank you!
welp after thinking brown leaf tips where from over or under watering i now know its my tap water which they used to be ok with and now they are not. thank you
I have used my Spider Plant for Christmas/birthday gifts before... I take a small mason jar, put in a spider plant pup (with roots) with enough distilled water to cover the roots, and you have a brand new plant that will grow for 4-6 weeks or so sealed in the jar before it NEEDS to be replanted in soil... and then you have a cool new spider plant that will be making it's own babies and cleaning the air in your home before too long. Granted, your recipient needs to appreciate the "little things" and not be expecting a brand new iPhone or something, haha ;)
Yeah they make fantastic gifts for sure!
So helpful
Thanks a lot 🥰🙏🏼
Loved this video! 😍🥰💚
Thank you thank you!!
You obviously haven fallen for him, your spider plant even dancing with him ☺ i just got one today and just love her, i think we are going to have a lot of babies😊
Nice video with best explanation 👍
Thank you for the tips.
Thanks for the tips and your really funny
Aww thank you so much!
You are funny and knowledgeable! Thank you
Hahah thanks! I'm glad someone finds me amusing ;) Thanks for watching
Very helpful. Thank you
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
Just subscribed. Looking forward to all your vids 👍
Thanks for watching and subscribing :) Anything in particular you'd like to see?
@@GoodGrowing got a few plants here all all sorts but any tips on how to re pot cactus's? Not looking forward to doing them lol
@@kristianlewis5520 So far I've never had to repot any of my cacti. I think you should probably wear gloves to help prevent getting poked. But other than that I'm not too sure sorry!
Funny video🤣 thanks newbie to spider plants.
Thanks for watching! And best of luck with your new spider plants!
Thank you for the amazing information. I ❤ it. 😘
May I ask, why my spider plant gets yellow on the tip of their leaves?
@@karligot786 Tbh... I'm not too sure why they go yellow. I think it can be for a a bunch of different things. Sorry I couldn't help more with that!
I like your videos!
Nice video 👍
Thanks! And thanks so much for watching!
Thank you 🎉❤
just got one of these and a cat palm i love them! i want to live in a forest room lmao
didnt realize how big cat palm gets woops lmao
all the succulents i got from the store the other day are sad, went to check my zebra and noticed it had root rot and was long gone T_T
Oooh so exciting! Yeah the house jungle vibes are the best ones imo. Sorry the succulents aren't doing well. Did you get them from a grocery store? They tend to not give their plants the right care and often overwater (especially with succulents!) If you can change the soil of others to a dryer mix you may be able to save them before root rot! Best of luck!
Very informative video, good job.
Thank you! And thanks for watching :)
@@GoodGrowing Awe np. Your reactions to the random noises were pretty funny. Subscribed to learn more and good luck with everything.
@@OGAaronAlton Haha yeah that flat had the strangest sounds outside :) Thanks so much for subscribing!
Yup you are funny...I needed that
New here .. I subscribed & just learning to be a good plant dad. Your video was informative & you're also fun to watch. Thank you
Aww thank you! Welcome to the good growing family
@@GoodGrowing 🌷❣
have a plant to your right love a vid on this. new to the channel and new to plants
Welcome! That's an areca palm. Unfortunately it got caught in my battle with thrips and I don't have it anymore! I do have a video about kentia palms and their care is fairly similar so check it out! ruclips.net/video/jDOByZknKyk/видео.html
I wish people would stop labelling spider plants as "easy to care for" because they are not. I've had many and have not managed to keep them. Only today I've put my last half dead two out in my UK garden to fend for themselves, I genuinely don't care if they live or die, I've tried everything. Currently looking online for an imitation plastic one for the house, surely I'll be able to keep this one alive.
The bottom of my spider plant is going brown after I split it. Also a lot of the leaves are turning yellow and brown. Any suggestions?
Hi Emma, you're very fun and chill to watch, addicted to houseplants AND your channel atm. 😊btw waht type of plant/tree is behind you in this video?
Aww thank you very much! That is an areca palm :)
my first plant is a spider plant we have three in my house but my mom gave me one to put in my room, he’s huge and i took a “baby” from him and i am growing one myself!! i’m rlly excited
Oooh that is so exciting!! Welcome to plant parenthood!
Could i use one in my snake tank (pot sticked to the corner) , it would get indirect sunlight since my tank is almost in front of my window but fare from it . Would it be adapted ? Because i have babies growing and i planned using some for this terrarium and for my fish tankd
We have a very big spider plant that we recently just brought inside for the fall winter season. We put it in a large pot because it is a pretty large spider plant. Where are you headed outside hanging it was really healthy. The leaves are turning a yellow color and browning on the tip and some of the the leaves appear dead as they’re brown. I would like to know what we did wrong or how we can maybe bring it back to life
LOVE! 🤗🥰
Thank you!
Thank you.
My plant has no drainage because it was like a hanging one but I haven’t had time to actually hang it up so I just put it on the window sill and the root rot thing sounds about right the bottom bit is turning brown 🤷🏻♀️not sure what to do
Hmm that doesn't sound good! The way I around that with my hanging plants is use the nursery pot within the decorative hanging pot. So when I water, the nursery pot drains into the hanging one and I can dump that out if I need to. Best of luck!
I've been letting my tap water sit out for a week before using. I might try to collect some rain water to use for now on
Sat out tap water should probably be alright. TBH I wouldn't change what I was doing unless the plant started looking unhappy. Best of luck!
@@GoodGrowing its removes the chlorine but I just read where fluoride is the real enemy to some plants like monocots. Not that easy to remove fluoride from tap water though 🙁
@@zachmorris5688 yeah i've heard the same.. but I can't really buy distilled water here because it's so expensive and I don't have an outside area to collect rain water... so sat out tap water will have to do!
I use filtered water for my spider plant and still have tons of brown tips. Could it be that my house is to dry..?
Thank you for this informative video. My spider plants keep dying on me 😫 hopefully these tips will help me keep them alive lol
Glad to know I'm not the only one that has killed a spider plant. Not that I was trying to, I just felt really bad and thought "I must be a real dumbass if I can't even keep a spider plant alive"
i am new to spider plant. So is tap water not good to use?
Hi, I just really got to plants. I literally just bought a spider plant from Home Depot. Some of the leaves are brown/crispy... should I cut the brown off? Please help! Lol
Hey there! Welcome to the plant parent world, it's a good one! Amazing you got a spider plant! Yeah you can totally cut those off if they bother you! Best of luck with your new plant babies!!
Is spider plant and lourdes plant the same? If not, what's the difference between them?
Shes very interesting to listen to ,holds your attention
Should the spider plants leaves be trimmed? How do you fertilize the plant? I’ve had one in a planter and have never fertilized it.
Beauregard Parish Louisiana I planted some outside (green, and green striped) in the ground they did surprisingly well while some leaves died during the winter the plants would come back very strong during the summer. I now use them for border plants around my flower bed. One of the spiderettes anchored a root into a pine tree 2 years ago & is still there
Ahh that's so amazing! I wish I had an outdoor space I could use to grow some of these babies!
@@GoodGrowing caution, if you aren't careful they will grow like an evasive species. Imagine every spiderette putting down roots & spreading out
@@phiddlephart7026 Ahhh spider plants everywhere!
I only bought my spider plant last week but I just took it out of its decorative pot and I can already see roots growing out of its nursery pot. Do I need to repot it already? I’ve got no idea how to..help please!
Its a bit difficult to know without seeing it myself but not necessarily. They like to be a bit more pot bound so maybe wait a while. If it stops growing during the spring or summer then give it a bigger pot!
I recently bought a spider plant and after a week of having it, I watered the plant and now it is browning at the tips. I haven’t repotted it or give it soil, why is my plant doing this?
What should I use to plant it? Is cactus soil ok? Or is something different preferred?
They like well draining soil, but a little bit moist. You could use cactus soil but you'll likely have to water a bit more frequently than general potting mix.
I have a green spider plant. How do you keep it green.
I have challenges keeping them looking good at the Garden centre I thought it was its intolerance to Fluoride 😬
It’s frustrating when other staff over water the plants 😖
I allow them to dry out between watering.
Cool
Very nice! Got the tips I needed for my new little one. Thanks!
So glad I could help!!!
Can you tell us how you take care of your variegated Rubber Plant I just got one and would love to not kill it with my black thumb. Lol. Loving your videos!
Yes yes!! It is on the list! Thank you for the suggestion!
Thank you lovely person. How do you clean the leaves? I used a sponge with a tiny bit of dish soap to do it but maybe there is a better way would love to know.
Sounds like you're doing the right thing. Since the leaves are so small, they can be a bit of a pain to clean
I used rainwater in watering my spider plant however it gets brown tips. Please help 😭
Could you tell us what type of soil, fertilizer and watering techniques work best? For example, could you use one of those bulb things that waters the roots or should you just pour water on top of the soil?
I personally just water the top of the soil. The soil is basic potting medium with a bit of extra perlite. As for fertiliser I talk about that in the video but I used to use Miracle Grow all purpose but now use Liquid Gold Leaf
Hi. How tall is your spider plant now a year on please? Thanks
I have been a plant mom for 15 plus yrs. I have been caring for them since b4 youtube existed and b4 there was so much info readily available on the internet. I have made "harder" plants to care for THRIVE! BUT...for some odd reason I can't keep a spider plant alive for the life of me lol. Probably doesn't help my kitties try and eat them all.😹😻🌱🌱
I feel the same about them! I didn't really mention it in this video but ever since this plant, all of mine go brown and die! I like to blame it on the water in my area but I'm sure it's more than just that. Glad to hear it's not just me!
That explains why mines tips are going brown. We have distilled water, but it’s in the fridge. Do they mind cold water?
Typically plants prefer room temp/lukewarm water as it is more gentile on their roots. Cold water may shock them. Could you pour some distilled water out and let it get to room temp before watering?
I enjoyed that video; very helpful. Could you do one about elephant ear plants?
Thank you! So glad that I could help! Ooh yeah I just got an alocasia gageana so I'm learning to take care of it properly now! Or if you're talking about an alocasia polly/amazonica, I've got a video for those up already! :)
What should we do if theirs some brown
I have a bigger one and it looks good.. but many leaves semi break in the middle and hang semi weird...
If you overwater a spider plant once will it get root rot? Or does it take multiple overwaterings?
It takes a couple of overwaterings, but if you're super concerned, pull it out and have a look at the roots :)
Thanks
I started with some I got that were pups in a zip lock bag now my upstairs bathroom looks like a jungle as they grow and reproduce so fast I have a large sky light in that bathroom Every plant in my house is huge and looks like something out of a movie.I think the water without chlorine is one thing but most important is the soil as I mix my own to match the plants natural origin.Every one thinks I am crazy but they all say I have the greenest thumb of anyone.I am a Plumber.Go figure how that happens.
Hey, could you share please what soil mix you make? What type are you trying to match? Thanks in advance!
@@Irin31 I use Grow mix which is just peat moss with pearlite and I mix in some sandy soil which is like a Florida type mix then some pine bark chips and some Miracle grow container mix.The way you know its good is when you water it the water drains down fast.Just imagine and you will figure it.And always save your old tropical soils that are from Florida because they are different.
Thank you Anthony!
@@Irin31 Your welcome Irina and also Never use wood chips on any if your plants only use the bark because wood chips absorb all the nutrients from the soil especially nitrogen.
@@Drainman Wow! That is good to know! Thanks!
Is there a way to “purify” the water I give my spider plant. He’s got a dozen or so babies but the comment about water makes me nervous and I wanna propagate more :(
I propagate my spider plant babies in normal tap water... which might not be the best thing, but I haven't had any issues with them not growing roots. I'd say if your plant has been growing fine up until now, don't worry about it too much. But if you really did want to purify your water, you could get some sort of filtration system? Not totally sure what the best way to go about that is though. Best of luck!
@ cryinggucci...Its best to use distilled water especially if you have fluoride in your water
I have a plant like that now i know the name spider plant thank u for your tips
Ahh wonderful! Thanks for watching :)
My spider plants leaves I’ve noticed started bending and snap apart with the slightest touch. Is this normal?
Hmm that doesn't sound normal. Are they dry and brittle?
I have this too! I feel like it's because of too much water but I'm not sure
My plant was happy all summer on my porch then winter came and it got really sad...I don’t know what to do to revive it
I'm going to be honest, mine aren't doing too well at the moment either. But in your case, bringing them in from outside is a pretty drastic change that could put stress on them. Also remember that you need to water much less in the winter. Hopefully that helps a bit.. Best of luck!
Great video, any videos on Spearhead, diefenbachia or prayer plants?
Thanks! I do have a dieffenbachia so I can do a video on that soon. And I should be getting some maranta cuttings from a friend sometime so I can do one on them when they've gotten a bit more established! Thanks for the suggestions!
Is it possible to recover a dying spider plant ? Or should toss it and try again ? How do you know if it revivable?
It depends how it's dying really. But with spider plants I've always tossed and tried again as they're pretty easy to get your hands on
My tips are brown! Thanks!
😳
I kill all my plants. I love how nice they look in the house and all the air purifying benefits. So Im trying to learn to take care one at a time until I get the hang of it. What kind of fertilizer do they like?
Yeah houseplants are seriously amazing! And everyone can grow them with a little practice! I'm not super versed on fertiliser, but plan on doing a lot of research and a video about it in the spring. Currently I use the powdered Miracle-Grow at 1/2 strength! Best of luck!!
USPS damaged my spider plant. His poor leaves are just sagging. I have repot him, watered him but his leaves are still sagging. He’s also got some brown tips. Can someone help me on what I should do? It’s only been about a week since I’ve had him.
Hey. Try using distilled water
