You are overthinking these plants waaaay too much. These are bar none the single easiest plant to have hands down no effort whatsoever to have a beautiful plant just put em in the dirt and water it when you remember to. done! soon you’ll have a wonderfully gorgeous specimen of your own.
Hey Greg, It's the story of my life. I tend to overthink everything. I try to anticipate problems before they arise. I am a firm believer in that old adage: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." and the adage: "Best to do it good the first time, so you don't have to do it again." etc... I am in the process of rethinking my approach to life. I'm not doing a "philosophical overhaul," but I am planning to make changes to make life easier/simpler. I'm removing the gravel layer on the bottom of my pots due to my new knowledge of the "perched water table." I'm going to decrease my additives to the potting mix with only sand and perlite -v- vermiculite - removing the orchid bark and volcanic cinder to keep costs down. I need to make my life simpler - remember that with all my planning, that life will takes it's own course, people will make their own choices, teens will make their own mistakes, and sometimes you just have to let mistakes happen and hope for the best. Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment Friends, Gerald:)
It's his channel and his life. He can do it the way he would like to & he doesn't have to explain himself to anyone else. I've been growing Spider plants for years & I still enjoyed seeing his beautiful plants & listening to what he had to say about them. To each their own.
Good morning, Lawrence, Plants, gardening, and sitting in the garden to reflect helps me get through... challenges of work, kids, and life :) Then I eventually have plants to share and give to others so they can find a little peace and happiness in their busy day. Friends, Gerald:)
Hello, Good morning! Thank you for visiting me. I’m believing it’s going to be a good day. I was very happy to have found your comment. Sometimes it's hard to get out of bed in the morning. Life has been challenging as of late. You are very kind. Again, thank you taking the time to write. Always wishing you best of health and happiness 😊 Your friend, Gerald😊
@@PlantsaremyTherapy hope you and your family are staying safe in these unprecedented times. There is better days ahead. ALWAYS. Plant related question: my spider plant tips are dry and browning :( no idea why. I'm in the UK and the weather is pretty cold atm. Could this be related?
Good Morning, Sherristar OMGosh, the UK as in England. As a child I dreamed of visiting your country (palaces, monarchs, bridge, Mary Poppins, etc... ) Spiderplant: I would think colder/frozen climates have dryer air, I would also think that spider plants, being tropical plants, won't do well in temperatures less than 60*F, so keep it away from cold drafts and possibly mist the plant with a spray bottle. Does this plant have the same problem in the spring an summer months?
Well, I guess that answers my question from the Peace Lily Video! :-) You are a great teacher and I really appreciate your teaching style. I commend you on receiving your grandchildren. I am a Paralegal in CA and I am very familiar with children here in our state that become Wards of the Court, so I Hope that your Grandchildren truly appreciate the sacrifices that you are making for them. Wow, I am so excited to get to my Spider plants tomorrow. I love the containers that you are using for mixing the soil.
Good morning, Jean-Marie, My beautiful spider plant looks horrible now... relatively speaking. The small Sumatran cherry tree lost it's leaves, which is does every winter (even though Hawaii really doesn't have a winter), and too much sun got to the plant, so now I relocated it under the Tahitian Gardenia Tree. and it still looks - well not as good as it did, but the variegated spider plant, that I took outside to get a great from my cat, is doing great! Spider plants are great plants, they grow well, easy car, makes the house look fresh, purifies the air, and eventually will recover... I think you will enjoy your new spider plant:) Gerald:)
Good morning, Xaiuon. I love these plants too. It's one of my favorites because it's a hardy plant and one of the best air purifiers... according to NASA Scientists
Hello my friend Gerald, thank you for dropping my live streaming. Wow very nice spider plants,and also beautiful flower vase. Thank you for sharing my friend.
Hello, Virgie Whenever I see your live stream, I want to join in. I was there when you were massaging the other woman, but I didn't want to say anything. I didn't want you to speak English and then no one else talks. I wanted you to have time with your friends. Take care, Gerald:) Hello, Virgie Tuwing nakikita ko ang iyong live na stream, nais kong sumali. Naroon ako noong ikaw ay nagmamasahe sa ibang babae, ngunit ayaw kong sabihin. Hindi ko nais na magsalita ka ng Ingles at pagkatapos ay walang ibang makipag-usap. Nais kong magkaroon ka ng oras sa iyong mga kaibigan. Take care, Gerald:)
I had not known about the Hawaiian spider plant variety. I have had green and variegated spider since the 70's and I just have always loved them. This week I came across the Hawaiian variety at our garden shop and one lives at my house now! It wasn't labeled as such but I recognized it from your videos...can't wait to see how lovely it becomes! Thanx!
I didn't know that there was a difference too. I saw it first on RUclips, then at my local Home Depot. Then I thought I should buy it because I live in Hawaii, so this plant must do well here. I'm not sure if it is it's own cultivar, or it's a result of growing in Hawaii. I like the plant, but I only recently realized that I only have one variegated plant left because friends who wanted spider plants took all my other propagations.
@@PlantsaremyTherapy..My first plants long ago, were very long strappy leaves solid green. My favorite one now I have been growing has a very long strappy leaf, green on the leaf edges and a white stripe down the center. There is also one that is opposite- white at the edges with green stripe down the center. I like the "Hawaiian" because it seems more compact with shorter, wider leaves. I love them all! I like the way you put then in taller vases to show them off.
Hello, Lilah! Aloha from Hawaii. I hope you are doing well. I really appreciate you visiting and taking the time to leave a comment - it is very encouraging. I love this pot. It's spring now, and Ross' is bringing in more pots, and I am hoping to find more:) Wishing you good health and happiness always, Gerald:)
Lovely stuff! My mum gave me a spider plant a few months ago and now I have 9 baby plants ready to go! I will also be gifting mine when they're potted up 👍
Good afternoon, It's somehow satisfying in giving plants to friends. It's feels good to have grown them personally. Thank you again for visiting and taking the time to comment. You are very kind. Aloha, Gerald😊
Hello, Laverne Aloha from Hawaii. I hope you are having a good morning. I like giving houseplants as unsolicited gifts because they are good air purifiers NS make the house look nice... more fresh. Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it and it's very encouraging. Friends, Gerald:)

Good morning, Darwin. Aloha from Hawaii. I hope all is well. Thank you for visiting. Gardening is therapeutic, but sometimes I sit in my garden just to think. Life can be challenging :) Wishing you good health and happiness always Gerald:)
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of plants and for being so candid about the other things in your life that you care about and those things that stress you and make you a little sad. I'm so sorry about your wife's passing. God bless you and your grandkids ! 🕊💕
Hello, Noble Aloha from Hawaii. I hope you are having a good morning. Yes, I am thankful for gardening because it's a nice distraction from all the stresses of the world. I was lucky to create a peaceful place to relax and reflect. I hope to show it one day. Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it. It's very encouraging. I hope you have a good day. Wishing you happiness and good health always, Gerald;:
I’m 56 years old it’s just me and my husband and I’ve been growing succulents this past year in 2020 because of the pandemic I bought my first spider plant and it has four babies one has roots this helped me a lot thank you
Good Morning, Laura 🎈✨🧨 This is a whole new year of opportunities and possibilities🎈✨✨ Thank you for visiting me and taking the time to comment🤗 Yay! That's a good plant to have. It's a very sturdy plant, just don't overwater it. I think as humans, we care for things by feeding it, but it can be lethal to plants. Wishing you happiness and success. Gerald😊

I have never posted a comment nor have I signed up to do so until watching your video. Extremely inspiring and eye opening. I’m a lover of all plants and recently just got a slip from a spider plant I have it currently in water and waiting for rooting. Your story is so beautiful and you sound like in incredible person. I pray God will give you strength everyday and your love for plants never die.
Good morning Ashley🙂. Aloha from Hawaii🌴. I hope you are having a good morning. I love the mornings. The quiet before the grandchildren wake😄. Thank you for visiting. I appreciate your kind and encouraging words. Life is a challenge. What doesn't kill us - depresses us, upsets us, sometimes frustrates and makes us angry, causes us to search for strength we didn't know we had, and then makes us stronger... I wish there was a shortcut to that😁 You are a very kind person. I hope you have a wonderful week. Your friend, Gerald :)
Good morning, Bernard. I hope you are having a good day. I've had much success with my spider plants. I am hoping to have much more soon. I wish I kept more of my variegated spider plants. Most friends who wanted these plants, took the variegated cultivar, so I am left with many green Hawaiian cultivars. anyways... thank yo for visiting, and I hope you have a great week Gerald:)
Your a true Blessing for your grandchildren! I was raised by my grandparents too, so I can speak by expierience....your plants are beautiful...i love spider plants myself...🙏✂💖✂🙏
Good morning, Blanca Aloha from Hawaii! Oh my goodness, Blanca. It's been a challenge. I don't remember my kids being that difficult, but I was much younger. I've gotten too good at propagating spider plants. Now I have too many. Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment. Wishing you happiness and good health always, Gerald😊
Hello, my friend. Thank yo for visiting and taking the time to comment. I love this cultivar of spider plant. It's called Hawaiian Spider Plant, and I've never seen it growing anywhere except the garden centers. Some of my spiderling have matured in the ground, and they are very nice. Wishing you a good weekend, Gerald:)
Brilliant idea with the coffee filters. I just learnt something. I love your philosophy about plants and starting new ones for friends. It's like giving a part of yourself to others. Thanks! Darryl
Good morning, Darryl Aloha from Hawaii! I hope you are well. This “quarantine” is taking it’s toll on me. It's been a challenging several months, and my plants are struggling. I hope to get new videos out soon. Wishing you strength and good health, Friends, Gerald😊
Hello, N Singh Aloha from Hawaii. I hope you are having a good morning. Thank you - I like sharing my experiences for the benefit of others. Propagating slider plants is easy, which makes it fun, but it also builds confidence to propagate other plants. I suggest your next plant be a philodendron - the Silver Satin Pothos is also very easy to propagate, and the plant looks very exotic. Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it. It is very encouraging. Friends, Gerald:)
@@PlantsaremyTherapy Thank you for your response and the recommendation, i will surely try. Also I was able propagate spider plant successfully so thanks once again. Namaste from India :)
I love listening to you. You are so calm and do an excellent job of explaining everything. Best of luck to you, you sound like a very nice man. Love your videos. Bless you.
Hello, Daisy Mae :) I wish I found your comment earlier... I had a rough couple of weeks, but you made my day. Thank you :) You are very kind, and your kind words are very encouraging. Aloha from Hawaii. I appreciate you visiting and taking the time to comment :) Wishing you happiness and good health always, Gerald:)
@Plants are my Therapy thats beautiful of you, everyone needs some sort of therapy, whether it be gardening, talking or both! So happy you found a way to share knowledge and also stay close to your grandkids! Im very close to my grandparents and they raised me and my brother from very young ages up until our teen years so this comment has warmed my heart! So much repsect for you and you have a new subscriber!!
Good morning, Tatum I hope you are having a good morning. Aloha from Hawaii! Thank you for visiting and taking the time to leave a comment. It is very encouraging. It's good for family to stay close, but it becomes harder and harder to find time. Thank you for your kind words. I hope you have a great week:) Friends Gerald
Sorry for your loss. Hug. Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable. You do sound like a nice man. Enjoy your beautiful plants. ( I just got a Spider plant!) Cheers in Christ, our Only Hope. Much love and respect.
Good afternoon, Thank you, my friend. I appreciate your kind words. I am glad you liked my plants. Plants have been therapeutic these past fear years especially. Thank you again for visiting and taking the time to comment. You are very kind. Aloha, Gerald😊
Hello, Silvia Aloha from Hawaii! I hope you had a good day. Thank you for visiting me. It really means a lot to me. I always experiment with different ways of doing things. The goal is to become more productive and efficient. I love my plants. they are my calm in the storm... and they don't talk back thinking they know everything! (I have teens) Again, thank you for visiting. I hope you have a wonderful weekend 😊 Your friend, Gerald😊
I really enjoyed your video and you talking. Life isn't easy for alot of us but I personally find gardening and my plants are very therapeutic. Wishing you all the best x
So true! Gardening is very therapeutic in a way where it redirects our thought and gives us something to do as we think about "things." Thank you for you kind and encouraging words, and I'm sorry it took this long for me to reply. It’s been a long and challenging year. I hope you are doing well. Wishing you good health and happiness always, Gerald😊
Great video! I adore spider plants. I was curious to see what you had to say about them. You’re right you don’t have to “baby” them as much as people assume. You have great plants & a wonderful heart. Thank you for sharing your life & knowledge with all of us!
Good morning, eM J, I hope you are having a good morning. I love these plants too. They helped me increase my confidence in growing plants, and I like how they move. It gives a little "life" next to the Snake & ZZ Plants. Thank yo for visiting and taking the time to comment, Gerald:)
Mahalo nui loa for the tips on propagating spider plants! Been having problems with my plant in the past but thankfully it is thriving. It’s producing babies again. Btw, been enjoying your videos and thank you for being a very compassionate person. We need a lot of people like you.
I don't understand how one spider plant can be thriving while the other not as much when they are from the same plant and in similar light and watering.... I am happy that these plants are very forgiving. I was just sitting in my courtyard yesterday before the grandkids woke, and noticed how nice this plant continues to look, but then I dread the day I need to repot it. Sometimes plants don't like to be repotted. I noticed that the plant needs to be "pot bound" before it sends out babies.
Spider Plants are really nice plants. I recently got one and when i repotted it was really pot bound badly. Since repotting to a new bigger pot it has really takin off and grows extremely fast! Nice vid here have a good day
Hey, Kevin Aloha from Hawaii! I hope you are having a good morning. My affection for the Hawaiian version spider plant fluctuates. The leaves are thicker and tender, so breaks and bends are common, and although I accept that nature isn't perfect, i wish it looked a lot less damaged. I have to repot my spider plant in the blue owl pot. I'm sad, but I enjoyed it for a few years now, so it's time. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment Friends, Gerald:)
Gracias por compartir tus hobis,y la terapia de la jardineria,Yo tambien me es de gran ayuda la jardineria,Me encantasn las spider plants. saludos desde Los Angeles California,Culver City CA.
Hola, Jaime Gracias por ser tan amable y alentador. Lamento que haya tardado tanto en responder. Ha sido un año desafiante y difícil. Que tengan una temporada festiva segura y feliz. Gerald😊
Thank you for this video on caring and propagating spider plants. You sound like a good person by sharing goodness with others through plants. I also liked the way how you reuse everything, helping mother earth. I love the tall vases and the turtle pot looks so charming.
Good afternoon, I just returned from your channel. You are a very talented person. I know you will be a big success. Thank you again for visiting and taking the time to comment. You are very kind. Aloha, Gerald😊
Hello, Jangee Thank you for your kind and encouraging words. It comes at a good time. I’m sorry it took this long for me to reply. It’s been a challenging year for me and my family. I hope you are doing well. It's been a tough year for everyone. Wishing you good health and happiness always, Gerald😊
The problem I have is a young cat/ kittenet and she likes to jump and sit on my spider plant! So this is round #4: I put the plant now in the window sil blocked by aloveras to keep her away. I don't have such good luck with growing the spiderlings...perhaps they sat in water and that's what went wrong. Thank you for your very nice videos, you have a very comforting voice.
Hello, My friend I feel your pain. I had many cats, and none played or even looked at my houseplants, but I found a newly weaned kitten on my patio, and now that he's older, he's been attacking my A Plants, knocked over my snake plant, sat in the middle of my peace lily, and totally destroyed my spider plant.... I am slowly transferring my garden outside, and my figurines and crystals... well i learned to depart with the broken pieces. thank yo for visiting and taking the time to comment - it's very encouraging Gerald;)
Good morning, Maureen Aloha from Hawaii! I hope you’re having a good morning. Thank you for being so kind. I really needed to hear this today! Hawaii is on quarantine, so you’d think I’d catch up on a lot of things. Everything is coming together nicely. Thank you for visiting, and I hope you’ll find the time to visit again. Have a wonderful week, Gerald😊
Sooo glad you presented us with the gorgeous Spider plant. And you took off the entire stem to propagate the babies or ad you say the spider mites! Love it Oh my goodness! Beautiful and you should sell at least 2 Yes I am interested!
Hello, Denice. It's good to hear from you. I hope you are having a great day. I was surprised how lush these plants had become. I need to try and find the variegated one... I have only one left, but it'snot producing spiderlings. It's a pleasure chatting with you. Take care, and I wish you happiness and good health
Hey Cristina, I'm always happy to hear from you. I hope you are having a good morning. I'm sorry I only found this comment now. I guess three months ago I must had been distracted by a whole bunch of things happening at once. Things haven't changed much since. Take care, and I hope you have a great day. Friends, Gerald:)
Good morning, Sandrea, I hope you are having a good morning. Thank you for visiting and much thanks for taking the time to comment. I appreciate your kind words. Wishing you happiness and good health always, Gerald:)
Hello have to tell you how much inspiration and hope you have given me just watching a few of your videos. I’m learning and getting better as a plant mama Also Your voice is so soothing Peace and blessings during these times 🌿
Hello, Deebaby Aloha from Hawaii! I hope you are having a good day. These past few months have been a challenge, but I'm hoping to restart filming again. Many of my plants are struggling. This beautiful Hawaiian cultivar spider plant is also struggling. It seems it's not as sturdy as the original version. I hope to get around to repotting this pot soon. I was thinking Australian Grass, but it's $100.00. Take care. I hope you have a good weekend Gerald:)
Hey there my friend Just going through some older videos and stopped at the spider plant! Actually love this plant. I used to have several at work in The therapy room! My patients loved them! Now I have a curly one but I noticed that the growth rate is slower. However, loved the various arrangements and since I have a south facing window After purchase of mother in law plant I will start looking for a spider plant! I am working towards replanting my dumb cane, peace Lilly and sadly had to say goodbye to my dumb cane. I tried the alcohol and then Neem oil! I am like you and can’t spend a lot of time taking care of an infected plant😢. Sooo nothing is in the huge pot where it was after about 10 years old I guess. Any way my friend Enjoy your channel as Always! And look forward to sharing advice on best plants to bring home! My peace Lilly needs to be propagated as well! It’s hectic enough for everyone and my plants are my Pure Gold! Enjoy your weekend my friend! Glad you’re back! Denice
Hello, Denice! I was so happy to see your name. It's been a while - life is difficult sometimes. Thank you for visiting. I am trying to find time to make more videos. I have been busy with work and busier with my teen grandchildren. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Thank yo for not giving up on me:) Friends, Gerald:)
No I Don’t plan to give up on you! My best friend and I have known each other since 15😀. Enjoy your videos and hope to continue watching such a great plant friend. My daughter tells me our soccer planning all A grandson keeps her Extremely busy!!. She’s a nurse and has a few plants! But nooo time to really nurture them. I ventured into the cacti Family and It’s interesting. Thank you Gearld. Taking care of your plants seems to be so Very calming. Soooo take time you when you can! Looking forward to hearing from you soon Denice
Good morning, Denice! You're awesome! Thank you, my dear friend:) I've been making new videos. I hope you were able to watch them. I've also been working a lot of overtime at work to pay down bills. Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning in bills. The garden is coming along well. I have my peace of paradise on my patio:) I hope things are well with you. It's good to keep the grandkids busy. Friends are important. The wrong friends can easily lead the kids astray. I emphasized bookwork... maybe I should have let the studies slack while putting them in soccer. Soccer is great because their is a "cultural difference" in soccer parents, baseball parents, and football parents. Take care, my friend Gerald:)
Good morning, Chela I like finding new purposes for old things. In my mind, I feel like I'm helping the environment. It also exercises my brain to "think outside the box" Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment :) Gerald:)
Hello, Shahila, I hope to be gardening in my old age. It's peaceful and keeps me busy. Thank you for visiting. Wishing you happiness and good health always, Gerald:)
Love your video, I just rediscovered my love for spider plants. I have 4 now but not from one plant. Mine are gifts from friends just like you are gifting your plants to your friends. I love your caring and kind attitude. Greetings from York UK and keep up the good work
Hello, Bernadette Aloha from Hawaii! Hawaii was going to be a part of Great Briton in the early 1900s. Your queen kissed our queen on the forehead when she was baptized. I always dreamed of London and castles and knights. I envy your history and culture. Life has been hectic lately, and yet these spider plants continue to thrive. They are one of my favorite plants, and they clean the air. Wishing you happiness and good health always. Friends, Gerald
Good morning, Sally I hope you are having a good day. Aloha from Hawaii. I'm sorry it took me this long to find this comment. I'm still stumbling around RUclips even after all these months. I am thankful for plants, they are soothing in a sometimes chaotic world. My garden is a place of peace and mediation to relax and reflect. Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment, Friends, Gerald;)
It really is! I have a lot left over from when I used to make coffee - pre-Starbucks days. Sorry it took this long for me to reply. It’s been a long and challenging year. I hope you are doing well. Wishing you good health and happiness always, Gerald😊
Good morning, Jubran. I hope you are having a good morning and I wish you a great day. Thank you for visiting and I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Much aloha from Hawaii. Friends, Gerald:)
Good morning, Sandoal Aloha from Hawaii! I hope you are well. This “quarantine” is taking it’s toll on me. I really like this plant. It does well with moderate neglect. Wishing you strength and good health, Friends, Gerald😊
धन्यवाद। मुझे खुशी है कि ये पौधे खुश हो रहे हैं। यह मुझे खुश करता है जब मेरे पौधे खुश होते हैं dhanyavaad. mujhe khushee hai ki ye paudhe khush ho rahe hain. yah mujhe khush karata hai jab mere paudhe khush hote hain Thank you. I'm happy these plants are growing happy. It makes me happy when my plants are happy
Hello, Barb, I hope you are having a good morning. Aloha from Hawaii. These plants soon became one of my favorite plants because they thrive easily. I appreciate you visiting, and I wish you happiness and good health always Your friend, Gerald
I'm growing my own Trees here in Ireland. I love if You did a helpfull Video and Trees. hope all is good. and hope to see you back up and running with more Great videos 😁😁💚💚
Good morning! Happy 4th of July... I suppose the US Independence Day may not be a global celebration, but July 4th is, so happy July 4th... which in Ireland may just be another day, and it's pretty much the same for me except the military bases are prepped to show off, and I was surprised how much air power the U.S. has. Hawaii is the U.S. central command for the U.S. Pacific Fleet, and they were practice flying military helicopters and fighter jets yesterday... I've always known the U.S. was a military force, but I didn't really notice how much of a force... I always see the Military ships in Pearl Harbor, but that's a daily thing, so that fades into the background, but the fighter jets, bombers, and helicopters are impressive. I'm not sure if this military display has to do with President Trump, but if it is... it's very impressive. A few years ago, North Korea bragged about having the missile capability to send a missile to Hawaii... I doubt it. North Korea is almost 3 thousand miles away, the earth is constantly rotating, the air densities at different temperatures at different levels of the atmosphere is variable, and the Hawaii Archipelago is a tiny target. North Korea would have a better chance hitting the Aleutian Islands off Alaska... or hit Japan, that would force a U.S. response, but I doubt they are that stupid. The U.S. would love to occupy the Korean peninsula to threaten Russia. I'm not a "war monger," I just like playing chess and have a very active imagination. Anyways... Hope you have a great 4th of July Gerald:)
I was going to make a video, inspired by you. It's about my home city of Honolulu. I don't have the courage to video street performers because of all the violence by homeless people. I hope to have a video made by tomorrow. Friends, Gerald:)
@@PlantsaremyTherapy That's awesome Thank you so much. I look forward to watching it 😁😁😁 thank you again my friend 😁😁😁 I havnt had the chance to get any videos myself in awhile I hope to have some new videos again soon.
Hello, my friend :) If I were in Ireland, I think I'd consider growing peach, plum, or pears... I love those fruits, but I live in the tropics, so I grow mango, citrus, and loquat trees. Also, Hawaii land is finite and very expensive, so I have a modest size lot. My knowledge is limited... Make sure your plants will fruit in your area/climate/etc..., Don't plant the tree in a round hole, Make the hole bigger, and mix potting soil, Perlite, with yard/garden/present soil Make the whole square so the whole doesn't "ball up." I bought a mushroom start/growing kit, and I mixed it up and placed it in the square tree hole before placing the tree in the hole. Fungus have a symbiotic relationship with trees. Plant the trees in spring to early summer - before its stressed by winter. Some trees are fussy - do not pile mulch near the trunk. If in a dry area, make a well, so you can control the water during waterings. These are the tips I use. Take care my friend, Gerald :)

Hello, Good morning! Thank you for visiting me. I’m believing it’s going to be a good day. Spider plants are one of my most favorite plants, and I had gotten too efficient in propagating them. I wish ou lived near so I can give yo a few. Again, thank you taking the time to write. Always wishing you best of health and happiness 😊 Your friend, Gerald😊
Thank you. I got them from Ross', and I am hoping that they are going to have more on sale. One of the plants I plnated inside the pot can't handle the sunny courtyard, so I had to move it. Now the set is scattered. anyways... thank you for visiting, and I wishing you happiness and good health always
Hola jaimie No he estado en RUclips durante bastante tiempo. Ha sido un año desafiante y tuve que atender a mi familia. Espero que puedas visitarme cuando tengas tiempo. Deseándote siempre buena salud y felicidad, Gerald😊
Thank you, my friend. Aloha from Hawaii. I hope you are having a good morning. Thank you for subscribing. I really appreciate your support. I hope you have a wonderful week take care, my friend
Hello, Britt Aloha from Hawaii. I hope you are having a good morning. I have a lot of coffee filters left over from when I used to brew my own coffee. I hate throwing things away, and I am glad I have found another use for them. For bigger pots, I use landscaping clothe the keep the pest, like slugs, centipedes, cockroaches, etc..., out of the pots. thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it. It is very encouraging. Take care, Britt Friends, Gerald:)
Hey, Bev! Aloha from Hawaii! I hope you're doing well. It's been crazy these past few months and the Covid19 scare hasn't made anything any less crazy. Hawaii goes into self quarantine tomorrow and people as acting crazy today! Stay safe and stay healhty Gerald;)
Great video true planting does take your time and ease stress .so sweet of you sharing your cutting I wish I was near you I would love to take all your cutting from you . you are a true friend sharing thank you
Yes. This is my avenue to adult conversation. Most of my life is dedicated to my grandchildren. I left many of my friendships to linger. Many of my friends are passing away. RUclips is my way of talking to people and still be near to the responsibilities of my grandchildren.
Thank you , Jaycey Aloha from Hawaii. I hope you are having a good morning. Thank you - I like sharing my experiences for the benefit of others. Propagating slider plants is easy, which makes it fun, but it also builds confidence to propagate other plants. I suggest your next plant be a philodendron - the Silver Satin Pothos is also very easy to propagate, and the plant looks very exotic - and talk about a gorgeous plant! Wishing you happiness and good health always, Gerald:)

Dear Red, Thank you very much for your kind words of encouragement. It means a lot. I am happy we are friends. I just returned from visiting you. Wishing you happiness and good health always, Gerald
03/21/19 After seeing the whatever that white soil holder that you put in the bottom of the planter just gave me an🤔🤔🤔🤔idea. Instead of roc/or pebbles I think that i will use COFFEE FILTERS inside the plant pot in this way all the precious soil and nutrients doesn't get washed away down the drsin so quickly! YEAH COFFEE FILTERS thanks for the idea🤗
Aloha from Hawaii. I am glad I could help. I have turned a new leaf. I will only use coffee filters too. Thank you for visiting. I hope you have a great weekend
Good morning. Aloha from Hawaii. I hope you are having a good morning. I appreciate your kind and encouraging words. Life has been a challenge, but it has it's rewards... I'm hoping 😁 I hope you have a wonderful week Gerald :)

Hello, Judith I hope you are having a good morning. Aloha from Hawaii! Thank you for your encouraging words. It really helps on the days I can't seem to get out of bed, but I'm usually optimistic, so I manage. One particular sad day, I made myself get out of bed to organize some Pictures, and I made and "inspirational video" out of the pictures I was organizing. I hope you will be able to check it out. It's only two minutes longs. Anyways, Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment, it's really encouraging Friends, Gerald:)
Thank you, Jessica. I am happy that we are friends who support each other. I wish you happiness and good health always. Have a wonderful weekend, Gerald:)
Thank YOU For being so beneficial to #MyPlantTherapy!!! I just potted up about 4 Spiderlets in a pot yesterday. I've never tried rooting them in water before BUT after watching Your Video I Will BE!!!
😊Yes! 🌿 I've always before propagated directly in soil, but the spiderlings struggle and sometimes don't root at all, but propagating in water, the plants seem to thrive. Keep them in indirect light while in water, and keep them in bright indirect light for the first several days after being placed in soil. 🤓 Spider plants can handle some direct light, but they thrive in high indirect light. 😊 I'm glad you were able to get a few ideas from my trails & errors. 😁 Have a safe and happy New Years 💥💥💥
Gracias por tus consejos ,de como cultivar la spider plant,Que bueno que encuentras una manera de terapia,a mi tambien las plantas me quitan la estres. Congratulation.
Hola, Jaime Estoy feliz de poder ayudar. Gracias por sus amables palabras. Lamento que haya tardado tanto en responder. Ha sido un año desafiante. Ha sido un año duro para todos. Espero que lo estás haciendo bien. Deseándote siempre buena salud y felicidad, Gerald😊
Trying to catch up on watching your videos. I've been a little busy and have to play catch up. So I will be binge watching for a while. Anyway your spider plants are so lovely. Another one of my favorite plants. Thanks for sharing. Blessings!
I can always rely on you for being a blessing. Your friendship is a blessing. You've supported me from the beginning, and will always love you for that. I wish you and your husband much happiness in this new year.
🎈✨🧨 It’s a New Year! A new year of opportunities and possibilities🎈✨✨ I just returned from visiting you😁. Happy New Years🎇🧨✨ Thank you for visiting and taking the time to write🤗. Stay safe, stay strong, and stay positive🤪 Friends, Gerald😁
Hello, K W I hope you’re having a good morning. Aloha from Hawaii! I’m very happy to wake to your comment. It's been a tough couple of years. I hope things settle soon. I actually went and did a lot of work in the garden yesterday, but nothing to record about... or maybe. I hope to be making videos soon. Thank you very much for your encouraging words 😊 Again, thank you for visiting and taking the time to write. Wishing you a good week.😊 Your friend, Gerald😊
Ich kann mich an die "Spider plants" meiner Großmutter in Schottland noch gut erinnern! Diesmal mein Like 36! Heute ist es sehr kalt in Wiesbaden mit einer Temperatur von -4°. In meinem Wohngebiet gibt es viele Balkone, deswegen hoffe ich, daß alle Nachbaren ihre Pflanzen jetzt in den Wohnungen pflegen!
Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass Menschen bei Wetter unter 0 * leben können. Als Kind in Hawaii aufgewachsen, wünschte ich mir Schnee, aber ich bin froh, dass ich das nie getan habe. Später entdeckte ich in Kalifornien (Festland USA), dass Schnee kalt ist und nur Spaß macht, wenn Sie einen freien Tag zum Spielen haben oder Zeit für eine Uhr. Andernfalls wird Schnee zum Hindernis. 😊
Watching this video gave me a clue as to why I killed my spider plant I have since bought a new spider plant and so far so good it’s surviving I must be doing something right thanks Gerald this video was very informative
Hello, Val These plant do well, and sometimes they don't. I killed many, but bassically, the less I fuss with them, the better they do. I recognize when they need to be watered. They appear "dull" in shine before they wilt, and I just water it. Don't be too hard on yourself. Learning plants takes time. Friends, Gerald:)
Love the way you think. Thank you for having such a strong and caring heart. I was raised by my grandmother and great grandma and I know how difficult it can be. Stay strong and plant on.
Thank you, my friend. I appreciate the encouragement. Sometimes I really need to hear an encouraging word. It has been challenging, but it is satisfying. The kids are maturing and even though the teen years have different challenges, they are much easier to care for now that they are older. i no longer feel like I'm treading water just under the surface. I'm glad you told me your grandmother and great-grand mother raised you. That is also encouraging to know.
My spider plant is not growing like yours I don’t know if I’m doing anything wrong . I want it to be like yours nice and full. By the way I love that vase too I’m crazy about owl “ I find them cute “ 😘
WhAt Is aLl AbOut 😊I'm lucky. These plants are doing well. 🤔 I notice that they grow vigorously if I water propagate them first. 😊 Thank you, my friend 😊 Best regards to your husband 😊 I will be working through New Years, so you be safe. Take care 😊

Is that an African Grey I hear BEEPing? LOL I have one that is 28 years old. She became obsessed with the Nextel beep-beep sound. She is the mistress of bleeps, beeps and siren sounds. Thanks for a calming video. I need to get my hands dirty more often. Be well and keep on bringing joy to others.
Good morning, Leslie Aloha from Hawaii! LOL, thank you for bringing that up. It reminds me that I have to change something LOL. Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment. Wishing you happiness and good health always, Gerald😊
I rarely fertilize. I fertilize the soil with Alaskan Fish Fertilizer at least once a year, but maybe up to three times a year. I fertilize the plant sparsely once or twice a year. I sometimes "feel" like the plants aren't happy, and then I start trying things. Be very careful of chemical fertilizers, which are types of salt, and too much salt can shut down water take-up in roots. I'm not a scientist. The soil I usually use is: 2 parts potting mix to 1 part Perlite (basic) ... with 1 part sand and 1/2 part orchid bark. the main thing is to keep the soil well-draining.
Thank you, my friend. Gardening does ease the challenges of life. I'm about to change my practices. I found a better way to pot plants. I need to get around to making a video. Life has just been too hectic lately, but thank goodness for gardening:)
धन्यवाद मेरे दोस्त। मुझे खुशी है कि हम ऐसे दोस्त हैं जो एक दूसरे का समर्थन करते हैं dhanyavaad mere dost. mujhe khushee hai ki ham aise dost hain jo ek doosare ka samarthan karate hain Thank you for being my friend
Eu faço menos para tornar minhas plantas bonitas. Suas criações são lindas. Suas criações exigem talento e trabalho duro. Eu admiro você por isso. I do less to make my plants beautiful. Your creations are beautiful. Your creations take talent and hard work. I admire you for that.
Hello nice video, I have two a plan green one n a variegated one , and I got then a week apart, a the green one grew faster then the variegated one y is that . the green one has a long stem for babies to grow. 😀
Good morning, Desiree, Aloha from Hawaii. Frustrated with RUclips, I had to take a break for a week, but I was happy to find your comment this morning. Thank you :) I appreciate you visiting. Wishing you happiness and good health always, Gerald:)
52naturalhairstyles : 🤔 Oh, I should show you, but those plants don't look as impressive. 😊 I put a purple ground orchid in one, it was a rescue, and it's doing well. I put a pink variegated snow push in the other two - one is doing well, while the other is not doing so good. If it doesn't perk up, I may have to do an autopsy 😑 I should show you. 😊 I work through New Years, so it'll have to be in a week, but until then, have a safe and happy New Years 😊
You are overthinking these plants waaaay too much. These are bar none the single easiest plant to have hands down no effort whatsoever to have a beautiful plant just put em in the dirt and water it when you remember to. done! soon you’ll have a wonderfully gorgeous specimen of your own.
Hey Greg,
It's the story of my life. I tend to overthink everything. I try to anticipate problems before they arise. I am a firm believer in that old adage: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." and the adage: "Best to do it good the first time, so you don't have to do it again." etc...
I am in the process of rethinking my approach to life. I'm not doing a "philosophical overhaul," but I am planning to make changes to make life easier/simpler.
I'm removing the gravel layer on the bottom of my pots due to my new knowledge of the "perched water table."
I'm going to decrease my additives to the potting mix with only sand and perlite -v- vermiculite - removing the orchid bark and volcanic cinder to keep costs down.
I need to make my life simpler - remember that with all my planning, that life will takes it's own course, people will make their own choices, teens will make their own mistakes, and sometimes you just have to let mistakes happen and hope for the best.

Plants are my Therapy Amen to that- whatever you enjoy doing is worthwhile. Keep up the good work.
It's his channel and his life. He can do it the way he would like to & he doesn't have to explain himself to anyone else. I've been growing Spider plants for years & I still enjoyed seeing his beautiful plants & listening to what he had to say about them. To each their own.
Thanks for sharing yourself with us. You do whatever makes you happy in your garden. Take care 😘
Good morning, Lawrence,
Plants, gardening, and sitting in the garden to reflect helps me get through... challenges of work, kids, and life :) Then I eventually have plants to share and give to others so they can find a little peace and happiness in their busy day.
Friends,
Gerald:)
Came for the plants, stayed for your kind disposition. Wish I had a grandad like you!
Hello,
Good morning! Thank you for visiting me. I’m believing it’s going to be a good day.
I was very happy to have found your comment. Sometimes it's hard to get out of bed in the morning. Life has been challenging as of late. You are very kind.
Again, thank you taking the time to write. Always wishing you best of health and happiness 😊
Your friend,

@@PlantsaremyTherapy hope you and your family are staying safe in these unprecedented times. There is better days ahead. ALWAYS.
Plant related question: my spider plant tips are dry and browning :( no idea why. I'm in the UK and the weather is pretty cold atm. Could this be related?
Good Morning, Sherristar
OMGosh, the UK as in England. As a child I dreamed of visiting your country (palaces, monarchs, bridge, Mary Poppins, etc... )
Spiderplant: I would think colder/frozen climates have dryer air, I would also think that spider plants, being tropical plants, won't do well in temperatures less than 60*F, so keep it away from cold drafts and possibly mist the plant with a spray bottle. Does this plant have the same problem in the spring an summer months?
Well, I guess that answers my question from the Peace Lily Video! :-) You are a great teacher and I really appreciate your teaching style. I commend you on receiving your grandchildren. I am a Paralegal in CA and I am very familiar with children here in our state that become Wards of the Court, so I Hope that your Grandchildren truly appreciate the sacrifices that you are making for them. Wow, I am so excited to get to my Spider plants tomorrow. I love the containers that you are using for mixing the soil.
Good morning, Jean-Marie,
My beautiful spider plant looks horrible now... relatively speaking. The small Sumatran cherry tree lost it's leaves, which is does every winter (even though Hawaii really doesn't have a winter), and too much sun got to the plant, so now I relocated it under the Tahitian Gardenia Tree. and it still looks - well not as good as it did, but the variegated spider plant, that I took outside to get a great from my cat, is doing great!
Spider plants are great plants, they grow well, easy car, makes the house look fresh, purifies the air, and eventually will recover... I think you will enjoy your new spider plant:)
Gerald:)
I love spider plants. I have them 20 years or maybe more. I kept giving it away to friends and even greenhouse.
Good morning, Xaiuon. I love these plants too. It's one of my favorites because it's a hardy plant and one of the best air purifiers... according to NASA Scientists
Hello my friend Gerald, thank you for dropping my live streaming. Wow very nice spider plants,and also beautiful flower vase. Thank you for sharing my friend.
Hello, Virgie
Whenever I see your live stream, I want to join in. I was there when you were massaging the other woman, but I didn't want to say anything. I didn't want you to speak English and then no one else talks. I wanted you to have time with your friends.
Take care,

Hello, Virgie
Tuwing nakikita ko ang iyong live na stream, nais kong sumali. Naroon ako noong ikaw ay nagmamasahe sa ibang babae, ngunit ayaw kong sabihin. Hindi ko nais na magsalita ka ng Ingles at pagkatapos ay walang ibang makipag-usap. Nais kong magkaroon ka ng oras sa iyong mga kaibigan.
Take care,

I had not known about the Hawaiian spider plant variety. I have had green and variegated spider since the 70's and I just have always loved them. This week I came across the Hawaiian variety at our garden shop and one lives at my house now! It wasn't labeled as such but I recognized it from your videos...can't wait to see how lovely it becomes! Thanx!
I didn't know that there was a difference too. I saw it first on RUclips, then at my local Home Depot. Then I thought I should buy it because I live in Hawaii, so this plant must do well here. I'm not sure if it is it's own cultivar, or it's a result of growing in Hawaii. I like the plant, but I only recently realized that I only have one variegated plant left because friends who wanted spider plants took all my other propagations.
@@PlantsaremyTherapy..My first plants long ago, were very long strappy leaves solid green. My favorite one now I have been growing has a very long strappy leaf, green on the leaf edges and a white stripe down the center. There is also one that is opposite- white at the edges with green stripe down the center. I like the "Hawaiian" because it seems more compact with shorter, wider leaves. I love them all! I like the way you put then in taller vases to show them off.
That vase is the most beautiful plant pot cover I have ever seen. She must have been so happy to receive it.
Hello, Lilah!
Aloha from Hawaii. I hope you are doing well. I really appreciate you visiting and taking the time to leave a comment - it is very encouraging. I love this pot. It's spring now, and Ross' is bringing in more pots, and I am hoping to find more:)
Wishing you good health and happiness always,

Lovely stuff! My mum gave me a spider plant a few months ago and now I have 9 baby plants ready to go! I will also be gifting mine when they're potted up 👍
Good afternoon,
It's somehow satisfying in giving plants to friends. It's feels good to have grown them personally.
Thank you again for visiting and taking the time to comment. You are very kind.

Thank you so much.

Good Morning, Laura
🎈✨🧨 This is a whole new year of opportunities and possibilities🎈✨✨
Thank you for visiting me and taking the time to comment🤗 Yay! That's a good plant to have. It's a very sturdy plant, just don't overwater it. I think as humans, we care for things by feeding it, but it can be lethal to plants.
Wishing you happiness and success.

I have never posted a comment nor have I signed up to do so until watching your video. Extremely inspiring and eye opening. I’m a lover of all plants and recently just got a slip from a spider plant I have it currently in water and waiting for rooting. Your story is so beautiful and you sound like in incredible person. I pray God will give you strength everyday and your love for plants never die.
Good morning Ashley🙂. Aloha from Hawaii🌴. I hope you are having a good morning. I love the mornings. The quiet before the grandchildren wake😄.
Thank you for visiting. I appreciate your kind and encouraging words.
Life is a challenge. What doesn't kill us - depresses us, upsets us, sometimes frustrates and makes us angry, causes us to search for strength we didn't know we had, and then makes us stronger... I wish there was a shortcut to that😁
You are a very kind person. I hope you have a wonderful week.
Your friend,
Gerald :)
Excellent video!!! I just propagated my spider plant for the first time. Thank you for sharing and being a caring person. God Bless You!
Good morning, Bernard. I hope you are having a good day. I've had much success with my spider plants. I am hoping to have much more soon. I wish I kept more of my variegated spider plants. Most friends who wanted these plants, took the variegated cultivar, so I am left with many green Hawaiian cultivars.
anyways...
thank yo for visiting, and I hope you have a great week
Gerald:)
Your a true Blessing for your grandchildren! I was raised by my grandparents too, so I can speak by expierience....your plants are beautiful...i love spider plants myself...🙏✂💖✂🙏

The most beautiful and healthier spider plant that I ever seen
Hello, my friend.
Thank yo for visiting and taking the time to comment. I love this cultivar of spider plant. It's called Hawaiian Spider Plant, and I've never seen it growing anywhere except the garden centers. Some of my spiderling have matured in the ground, and they are very nice.
Wishing you a good weekend,

Brilliant idea with the coffee filters. I just learnt something. I love your philosophy about plants and starting new ones for friends. It's
like giving a part of yourself to others. Thanks!

Hello, N Singh
Aloha from Hawaii. I hope you are having a good morning. Thank you - I like sharing my experiences for the benefit of others. Propagating slider plants is easy, which makes it fun, but it also builds confidence to propagate other plants. I suggest your next plant be a philodendron - the Silver Satin Pothos is also very easy to propagate, and the plant looks very exotic.
Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it. It is very encouraging.

So true! Gardening is very therapeutic in a way where it redirects our thought and gives us something to do as we think about "things."

Great video! I adore spider plants. I was curious to see what you had to say about them. You’re right you don’t have to “baby” them as much as people assume.
You have great plants & a wonderful heart. Thank you for sharing your life & knowledge with all of us!
Good morning, eM J,

Mahalo nui loa for the tips on propagating spider plants! Been having problems with my plant in the past but thankfully it is thriving. It’s producing babies again. Btw, been enjoying your videos and thank you for being a very compassionate person. We need a lot of people like you.
I don't understand how one spider plant can be thriving while the other not as much when they are from the same plant and in similar light and watering.... I am happy that these plants are very forgiving. I was just sitting in my courtyard yesterday before the grandkids woke, and noticed how nice this plant continues to look, but then I dread the day I need to repot it. Sometimes plants don't like to be repotted.
I noticed that the plant needs to be "pot bound" before it sends out babies.
Spider Plants are really nice plants. I recently got one and when i repotted it was really pot bound badly. Since repotting to a new bigger pot it has really takin off and grows extremely fast! Nice vid here have a good day
Hey, Kevin
Aloha from Hawaii! I hope you are having a good morning. My affection for the Hawaiian version spider plant fluctuates. The leaves are thicker and tender, so breaks and bends are common, and although I accept that nature isn't perfect, i wish it looked a lot less damaged. I have to repot my spider plant in the blue owl pot. I'm sad, but I enjoyed it for a few years now, so it's time.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment

The problem I have is a young cat/ kittenet and she likes to jump and sit on my spider plant! So this is round #4: I put the plant now in the window sil blocked by aloveras to keep her away. I don't have such good luck with growing the spiderlings...perhaps they sat in water and that's what went wrong. Thank you for your very nice videos, you have a very comforting voice.
Hello, My friend
I feel your pain. I had many cats, and none played or even looked at my houseplants, but I found a newly weaned kitten on my patio, and now that he's older, he's been attacking my A Plants, knocked over my snake plant, sat in the middle of my peace lily, and totally destroyed my spider plant....
I am slowly transferring my garden outside, and my figurines and crystals... well i learned to depart with the broken pieces.
thank yo for visiting and taking the time to comment - it's very encouraging
Gerald;)
Your videos are so soothing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Good morning, Maureen
Aloha from Hawaii!
I hope you’re having a good morning.
Thank you for being so kind. I really needed to hear this today!
Hawaii is on quarantine, so you’d think I’d catch up on a lot of things. Everything is coming together nicely.
Thank you for visiting, and I hope you’ll find the time to visit again.
Have a wonderful week,
Gerald😊
Sooo glad you presented us with the gorgeous Spider plant.
And you took off the entire stem to propagate the babies or ad you say the spider mites!
Love it
Oh my goodness!
Beautiful and you should sell at least 2
Yes I am interested!
Hello, Denice. It's good to hear from you. I hope you are having a great day.
I was surprised how lush these plants had become. I need to try and find the variegated one... I have only one left, but it'snot producing spiderlings.
It's a pleasure chatting with you. Take care, and I wish you happiness and good health
I love your videos. You are a natural at this. You make this so easy to do. Love spider plants. Looking forward to more videos
I appreciate your encouraging words. Thank you, my friend😊😁😀🙂🤗
Good To Hear Your Voice Again ‼️‼️‼️
Hey Cristina,
I'm always happy to hear from you. I hope you are having a good morning. I'm sorry I only found this comment now. I guess three months ago I must had been distracted by a whole bunch of things happening at once. Things haven't changed much since.
Take care, and I hope you have a great day.
Friends,
Gerald:)
This was one of the most informative videos I’ve seen. Thank you very much I enjoyed this immensely.
Good morning, Sandrea,
I hope you are having a good morning. Thank you for visiting and much thanks for taking the time to comment. I appreciate your kind words.
Wishing you happiness and good health always,
Gerald:)
Hello have to tell you how much inspiration and hope you have given me just watching a few of your videos. I’m learning and getting better as a plant mama Also Your voice is so soothing Peace and blessings during these times 🌿
Hello, Deebaby
Aloha from Hawaii! I hope you are having a good day.
These past few months have been a challenge, but I'm hoping to restart filming again.
Many of my plants are struggling. This beautiful Hawaiian cultivar spider plant is also struggling. It seems it's not as sturdy as the original version.
I hope to get around to repotting this pot soon. I was thinking Australian Grass, but it's $100.00.
Take care. I hope you have a good weekend
Gerald:)
Hey there my friend
Just going through some older videos and stopped at the spider plant! Actually love this plant. I used to have several at work in The therapy room!
My patients loved them!
Now
I have a curly one but I noticed that the growth rate is slower. However, loved the various arrangements and since I have a south facing window After purchase of mother in law plant I will start looking for a spider plant!
I am working towards replanting my dumb cane, peace Lilly and sadly had to say goodbye to my dumb cane. I tried the alcohol and then Neem oil!
I am like you and can’t spend a lot of time taking care of an infected plant😢. Sooo nothing is in the huge pot where it was after about 10 years old I guess.
Any way my friend Enjoy your channel as Always! And look forward to sharing advice on best plants to bring home! My peace Lilly needs to be propagated as well!
It’s hectic enough for everyone and my plants are my Pure Gold!
Enjoy your weekend my friend! Glad you’re back!
Denice
Hello, Denice!
I was so happy to see your name. It's been a while - life is difficult sometimes. Thank you for visiting. I am trying to find time to make more videos. I have been busy with work and busier with my teen grandchildren.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Thank yo for not giving up on me:)
Friends,
Gerald:)
No I Don’t plan to give up on you! My best friend and I have known each other since 15😀.
Enjoy your videos and hope to continue watching such a great plant friend.
My daughter tells me our soccer planning all A grandson keeps her Extremely busy!!. She’s a nurse and has a few plants! But nooo time to really nurture them.
I ventured into the cacti Family and It’s interesting.
Thank you Gearld. Taking care of your plants seems to be so Very calming. Soooo take time you when you can!
Looking forward to hearing from you soon
Denice
Good morning, Denice!
You're awesome! Thank you, my dear friend:) I've been making new videos. I hope you were able to watch them. I've also been working a lot of overtime at work to pay down bills. Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning in bills. The garden is coming along well. I have my peace of paradise on my patio:)
I hope things are well with you. It's good to keep the grandkids busy. Friends are important. The wrong friends can easily lead the kids astray. I emphasized bookwork... maybe I should have let the studies slack while putting them in soccer. Soccer is great because their is a "cultural difference" in soccer parents, baseball parents, and football parents.
Take care, my friend
Gerald:)
Thank you for finding multipurpose use of all things you come across! I do the same thing.
Good morning, Chela
I like finding new purposes for old things. In my mind, I feel like I'm helping the environment. It also exercises my brain to "think outside the box"
Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment :)

Love your video, I just rediscovered my love for spider plants. I have 4 now but not from one plant. Mine are gifts from friends just like you are gifting your plants to your friends. I love your caring and kind attitude. Greetings from York UK and keep up the good work
Hello, Bernadette
Aloha from Hawaii!
Hawaii was going to be a part of Great Briton in the early 1900s. Your queen kissed our queen on the forehead when she was baptized. I always dreamed of London and castles and knights. I envy your history and culture.
Life has been hectic lately, and yet these spider plants continue to thrive. They are one of my favorite plants, and they clean the air.
Wishing you happiness and good health always.
Friends,
Gerald

I hope you are having a good day. Aloha from Hawaii. I'm sorry it took me this long to find this comment. I'm still stumbling around RUclips even after all these months.
I am thankful for plants, they are soothing in a sometimes chaotic world. My garden is a place of peace and mediation to relax and reflect.

The coffee filter idea is great!
It really is! I have a lot left over from when I used to make coffee - pre-Starbucks days.
Sorry it took this long for me to reply. It’s been a long and challenging year. I hope you are doing well.

I'm growing my own Trees here in Ireland. I love if You did a helpfull Video and Trees. hope all is good. and hope to see you back up and running with more Great videos 😁😁💚💚
Good morning! Happy 4th of July... I suppose the US Independence Day may not be a global celebration, but July 4th is, so happy July 4th... which in Ireland may just be another day, and it's pretty much the same for me except the military bases are prepped to show off, and I was surprised how much air power the U.S. has.
Hawaii is the U.S. central command for the U.S. Pacific Fleet, and they were practice flying military helicopters and fighter jets yesterday... I've always known the U.S. was a military force, but I didn't really notice how much of a force... I always see the Military ships in Pearl Harbor, but that's a daily thing, so that fades into the background, but the fighter jets, bombers, and helicopters are impressive. I'm not sure if this military display has to do with President Trump, but if it is... it's very impressive. A few years ago, North Korea bragged about having the missile capability to send a missile to Hawaii... I doubt it. North Korea is almost 3 thousand miles away, the earth is constantly rotating, the air densities at different temperatures at different levels of the atmosphere is variable, and the Hawaii Archipelago is a tiny target. North Korea would have a better chance hitting the Aleutian Islands off Alaska... or hit Japan, that would force a U.S. response, but I doubt they are that stupid. The U.S. would love to occupy the Korean peninsula to threaten Russia.
I'm not a "war monger," I just like playing chess and have a very active imagination.
Anyways...
Hope you have a great 4th of July
Gerald:)
@@PlantsaremyTherapy Wow Thank you 😁😁👏👏👌👌👌
I was going to make a video, inspired by you. It's about my home city of Honolulu. I don't have the courage to video street performers because of all the violence by homeless people. I hope to have a video made by tomorrow.
Friends,
Gerald:)
@@PlantsaremyTherapy That's awesome Thank you so much. I look forward to watching it 😁😁😁 thank you again my friend 😁😁😁 I havnt had the chance to get any videos myself in awhile I hope to have some new videos again soon.
Hello, my friend :)
If I were in Ireland, I think I'd consider growing peach, plum, or pears... I love those fruits, but I live in the tropics, so I grow mango, citrus, and loquat trees. Also, Hawaii land is finite and very expensive, so I have a modest size lot.
My knowledge is limited... Make sure your plants will fruit in your area/climate/etc...,
Don't plant the tree in a round hole,
Make the hole bigger, and mix potting soil, Perlite, with yard/garden/present soil
Make the whole square so the whole doesn't "ball up."
I bought a mushroom start/growing kit, and I mixed it up and placed it in the square tree hole before placing the tree in the hole. Fungus have a symbiotic relationship with trees.
Plant the trees in spring to early summer - before its stressed by winter.
Some trees are fussy - do not pile mulch near the trunk.
If in a dry area, make a well, so you can control the water during waterings.
These are the tips I use.
Take care my friend,
Gerald :)

Take care,

Great presentation.
Very beautiful job.
Congratulations.
Many greetings.
Thanks for the visit, Dimitiros 😁
Your flower pots are really beautiful\ big like!!!
Thank you. I got them from Ross', and I am hoping that they are going to have more on sale. One of the plants I plnated inside the pot can't handle the sunny courtyard, so I had to move it. Now the set is scattered.
anyways...
thank you for visiting, and I wishing you happiness and good health always
Gracias por compartir tus consejos del cultivo de la planta "Mala madre" o Spider Plant.
Hola jaimie
No he estado en RUclips durante bastante tiempo. Ha sido un año desafiante y tuve que atender a mi familia.
Espero que puedas visitarme cuando tengas tiempo.
Deseándote siempre buena salud y felicidad,
Gerald😊
WOW! excellent video. subscribed.
Thank you, my friend. Aloha from Hawaii. I hope you are having a good morning. Thank you for subscribing. I really appreciate your support. I hope you have a wonderful week
take care, my friend
Cool idea using the coffee filters thanks.
Hello, Britt
Aloha from Hawaii. I hope you are having a good morning. I have a lot of coffee filters left over from when I used to brew my own coffee. I hate throwing things away, and I am glad I have found another use for them. For bigger pots, I use landscaping clothe the keep the pest, like slugs, centipedes, cockroaches, etc..., out of the pots.
thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it. It is very encouraging.
Take care, Britt

What a clever idea, using the stems at lattice! BTW I recycle everything I can too, great tut!
Hey, Bev!
Aloha from Hawaii! I hope you're doing well.
It's been crazy these past few months and the Covid19 scare hasn't made anything any less crazy. Hawaii goes into self quarantine tomorrow and people as acting crazy today!
Stay safe and stay healhty

@@PlantsaremyTherapy thanks! You as well 🌹
Great video true planting does take your time and ease stress .so sweet of you sharing your cutting I wish I was near you I would love to take all your cutting from you . you are a true friend sharing thank you
Yes. This is my avenue to adult conversation. Most of my life is dedicated to my grandchildren. I left many of my friendships to linger. Many of my friends are passing away. RUclips is my way of talking to people and still be near to the responsibilities of my grandchildren.
@@PlantsaremyTherapyen Espanyol?
They are gorgeous:)
Thank you , Jaycey
Aloha from Hawaii. I hope you are having a good morning. Thank you - I like sharing my experiences for the benefit of others. Propagating slider plants is easy, which makes it fun, but it also builds confidence to propagate other plants. I suggest your next plant be a philodendron - the Silver Satin Pothos is also very easy to propagate, and the plant looks very exotic - and talk about a gorgeous plant!
Wishing you happiness and good health always,

03/21/19 After seeing the whatever that white soil holder that you put in the bottom of the planter just gave me an🤔🤔🤔🤔idea. Instead of roc/or pebbles I think that i will use COFFEE FILTERS inside the plant pot in this way all the precious soil and nutrients doesn't get washed away down the drsin so quickly! YEAH COFFEE FILTERS thanks for the idea🤗
Aloha from Hawaii. I am glad I could help. I have turned a new leaf. I will only use coffee filters too. Thank you for visiting. I hope you have a great weekend

I hope you are having a good morning. Aloha from Hawaii!
Thank you for your encouraging words. It really helps on the days I can't seem to get out of bed, but I'm usually optimistic, so I manage. One particular sad day, I made myself get out of bed to organize some Pictures, and I made and "inspirational video" out of the pictures I was organizing. I hope you will be able to check it out. It's only two minutes longs.
Anyways,
Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment, it's really encouraging

Thank YOU For being so beneficial to #MyPlantTherapy!!! I just potted up about 4 Spiderlets in a pot yesterday. I've never tried rooting them in water before BUT after watching Your Video I Will BE!!!
😊Yes! 🌿 I've always before propagated directly in soil, but the spiderlings struggle and sometimes don't root at all, but propagating in water, the plants seem to thrive. Keep them in indirect light while in water, and keep them in bright indirect light for the first several days after being placed in soil. 🤓
Spider plants can handle some direct light, but they thrive in high indirect light. 😊
I'm glad you were able to get a few ideas from my trails & errors. 😁
Have a safe and happy New Years 💥💥💥
Thank you for subscribing 😁 and thank you for chatting 😊 Don't be a stranger 😁
Gracias por tus consejos ,de como cultivar la spider plant,Que bueno que encuentras una manera de terapia,a mi tambien las plantas me quitan la estres. Congratulation.

Trying to catch up on watching your videos. I've been a little busy and have to play catch up. So I will be binge watching for a while. Anyway your spider plants are so lovely. Another one of my favorite plants. Thanks for sharing. Blessings!
I can always rely on you for being a blessing. Your friendship is a blessing. You've supported me from the beginning, and will always love you for that. I wish you and your husband much happiness in this new year.
These plants are very nice. It has an airy texture like a grass.

Wishing you a good week.😊

Ich kann mich an die "Spider plants" meiner Großmutter in Schottland noch gut erinnern! Diesmal mein Like 36! Heute ist es sehr kalt in Wiesbaden mit einer Temperatur von -4°. In meinem Wohngebiet gibt es viele Balkone, deswegen hoffe ich, daß alle Nachbaren ihre Pflanzen jetzt in den Wohnungen pflegen!
Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass Menschen bei Wetter unter 0 * leben können. Als Kind in Hawaii aufgewachsen, wünschte ich mir Schnee, aber ich bin froh, dass ich das nie getan habe. Später entdeckte ich in Kalifornien (Festland USA), dass Schnee kalt ist und nur Spaß macht, wenn Sie einen freien Tag zum Spielen haben oder Zeit für eine Uhr. Andernfalls wird Schnee zum Hindernis. 😊
Wow that’s the greenest spider plant I seen
Thankyou
It’s beautiful

It's probably a HAWAIIAN spider plant
Watching this video gave me a clue as to why I killed my spider plant I have since bought a new spider plant and so far so good it’s surviving I must be doing something right thanks Gerald this video was very informative
Hello, Val
These plant do well, and sometimes they don't. I killed many, but bassically, the less I fuss with them, the better they do. I recognize when they need to be watered. They appear "dull" in shine before they wilt, and I just water it.
Don't be too hard on yourself. Learning plants takes time.
Friends,
Gerald:)
I have huge respects for you the way you are taking care of plants

Love the way you think. Thank you for having such a strong and caring heart. I was raised by my grandmother and great grandma and I know how difficult it can be. Stay strong and plant on.
Thank you, my friend. I appreciate the encouragement. Sometimes I really need to hear an encouraging word. It has been challenging, but it is satisfying. The kids are maturing and even though the teen years have different challenges, they are much easier to care for now that they are older. i no longer feel like I'm treading water just under the surface. I'm glad you told me your grandmother and great-grand mother raised you. That is also encouraging to know.
My spider plant is not growing like yours I don’t know if I’m doing anything wrong . I want it to be like yours nice and full. By the way I love that vase too I’m crazy about owl “ I find them cute “ 😘
WhAt Is aLl AbOut 😊I'm lucky. These plants are doing well. 🤔 I notice that they grow vigorously if I water propagate them first. 😊
Thank you, my friend 😊 Best regards to your husband 😊 I will be working through New Years, so you be safe. Take care 😊
I had the same problem, it got fixed by moving my plant like 2 feet from my winDow, now my plant is beautiful 😊
Спасибо за совет по уходу за растениями, мне понравилось, вы такой специалист просто супер, молодец, удачи вам. Thanks for the advice on caring for plants, I liked it, you are such a specialist just great, well done, good luck to you.

Is that an African Grey I hear BEEPing? LOL I have one that is 28 years old. She became obsessed with the Nextel beep-beep sound. She is the mistress of bleeps, beeps and siren sounds. Thanks for a calming video. I need to get my hands dirty more often. Be well and keep on bringing joy to others.

Exscelent. Vedeo pl share in detail soil mix ? And tell what type and when fertiliser to be use? Thanks
I rarely fertilize. I fertilize the soil with Alaskan Fish Fertilizer at least once a year, but maybe up to three times a year. I fertilize the plant sparsely once or twice a year. I sometimes "feel" like the plants aren't happy, and then I start trying things.
Be very careful of chemical fertilizers, which are types of salt, and too much salt can shut down water take-up in roots.
I'm not a scientist.
The soil I usually use is:
2 parts potting mix to 1 part Perlite (basic)
... with 1 part sand and 1/2 part orchid bark.
the main thing is to keep the soil well-draining.
Just love this video and your explanation. What a generous person you are! Wish I was living nearby!
I like this therapy, that's exactly what I do 😊 great job.
Thank you, my friend. Gardening does ease the challenges of life. I'm about to change my practices. I found a better way to pot plants. I need to get around to making a video. Life has just been too hectic lately, but thank goodness for gardening:)
NICE & BEAUTIFUL POT GOOD PLANT

Hello nice video, I have two a plan green one n a variegated one , and I got then a week apart, a the green one grew faster then the variegated one y is that . the green one has a long stem for babies to grow. 😀
Good morning, Desiree, Aloha from Hawaii.
Frustrated with RUclips, I had to take a break for a week, but I was happy to find your comment this morning. Thank you :) I appreciate you visiting.
Wishing you happiness and good health always,

I love that vase too! What did you put into the other three that you bought?
52naturalhairstyles : 🤔 Oh, I should show you, but those plants don't look as impressive. 😊 I put a purple ground orchid in one, it was a rescue, and it's doing well. I put a pink variegated snow push in the other two - one is doing well, while the other is not doing so good. If it doesn't perk up, I may have to do an autopsy 😑 I should show you. 😊
I work through New Years, so it'll have to be in a week, but until then, have a safe and happy New Years 😊
