Hey! I recently filmed an updated version of this video (a lot better quality) & here is the link if you’re interested ruclips.net/video/iGaCOHzUv6A/видео.htmlsi=wRv_zlsdzw34_1gK
I left my spider plant in the frost and it died, but when I was emptying the pot I found 2 big white roots, I planted them and watered for weeks and I got 2 new spider plants which now have babies. Definitely a cool plant
I've had that happen to me before as well. That's when I learned that these plants go dormant during the winter. We thought it was dead we weren't giving it water or anything. But when spring came started raining and it activated the plant growth
My spider plant spit out 30 babies in one go this summer (no joke!), but then it cut off its bigger, more established babies, like the stem connecting them withered away. She kicked the teenagers out of the house lol! I love your curly-leaf one, she's beautiful!!
Finally a video where somebody ACTUALLY tells you WHERE to cut. Thank you so much. In this few minutes you gave me all the information I have spent hours on finding. Pls keep making great videos like this one!
I so appreciate your straightforward video!! I’m totally new to propagating plants, and there are a million videos I’ve sifted through and been more confused than before. Your video is a breath of fresh air! Keep up the good work!
Start with pothos!! I have 10 pothos plants that all came from one that I bought for $5 at Walmart. Half of them are in water and I love the esthetic of it. Also, they are damn near impossible to kill. Happy planting!
I've ALWAYS propagated spider plants by using water, my mom taught me that way when I was a kid. Now I'm super curious about trying the other methods! About 2 or 3 years ago, I gave my friend a few spider plant babies and she STILL has them in water and they are just fine! Her being a bit lazy and not potting them has taught me that spider plants can kind of live in water too. Can't wait to add the curly babies to my collection!!
It's so cool how many plants actually do pretty well in just water! I definitely have a hard time repotting plants I've water propagated because it's so fun to watch the root system growth! Crazy stuff (:
@@jasminjn.pierre564 I would love to know the answer to this as well if anyone has recommendations! I am about to start growing some new spider plants in water myself
nick zurlinden I saw in another video that one can change the water once a week. I’ve been doing that and my spider plants seem to be happy. The roots are also growing nicely
Amy Grace me too. 😭😤 I cant find them elsewhere and my school gets rid of them typically so why not take a few. It might get me some odd looks my way but if all goes well my plant will live longer than my high school experiebce
I've had great success with doing the dirt method... but with a twist. I keep the baby plant still on the vine (attached to mom) when I pot the baby. I saw someone online do that once and I gave it a try. I was able to successfully root babies that didn't even have developed roots yet by using that method.
I just took two cutting from my mothers spider plant. Each cutting has two babies! I am so excited. They root so quickly. The original spider plant is over 20 years old! Love these plants. Great video Harli! 🌿
This was a good, concise video. I especially appreciate your mention of waiting until the pups get the nubs or nodes. I just got this beautiful big spider plant with lots of pups on it already. I even found a pedestal at Goodwill that is perfect for displaying it with all it's offshoots. It resembles a fountain, but I want to get some off and share with others. I'm using shot glasses with water to root them.
My parents have a spider plant on their window sill and next to it a dead basil plant. A little while ago the spider plant had a baby and it managed to find the empty pot and pot itself! So now we have doubled our spider plants by doing nothing. Luckily there are no more empty pots near by so I hope they won't take over the whole house 🤞😂
You asked for comments from plant enthusiasts, and I am one! I really like your video because it's short, straightforward, and I sent it to a friend. Thanks for making this easy
What perfect timing! I literally searched spider plant care and propagation the other day because my mom gave me one and it has 8 babies right now. I'm just going to stick them all in some soil and bring them into my workplace because my office needs more living décor. Thanks for the video, very helpful!
I’ve had my spider plant since 6th grade! I graduate high school next year 🥺 my English teacher would have us do chores and everyone took care of all her plants at least once. At the end of the year she gave me one and it was my first real house plant that I was able to take care of. I remember taking home this very weird tiny thing in a cup with water and it’s obviously been a while, but I want to refresh so I can add a little baby to my original 🥺❤️ thank you for the tips!
My aunt gave me several cuttings from her spider plant. I’m seeing some root growth already in the water method after just three days!!! I’m so excited 😍
Thank you very much! I live in a rental which has at least 100 of these plants around the fence line. At the moment they are sprouting lots of babies!!!! I want to grow heaps in pots so I can take some for when I move onto my forever Tiny Home :)
LOVE the curly spider! I always choose water propagation for my spiderettes. I’ve had much more success with that method than soil. I’ve never seen anyone do the paper towel method but I might have to try it out!
Best tip I can give everyone when it comes to spider plants is 1. Water with distilled or filtered water to avoid the brown tips and also when potting them do NOT mix perlite into the soil this too contributes to brown tips. They just have a sensitivity to fluoride and both these things will cause your perfect baby plant to start having issues from the get go but if you start the kid right from the start your spider will look outstanding from the get go. :D
Thank you for this comment. I read a bit about distilled water and spider plants but didn’t think much of it. Both my spider plants have died and I’m not a fan of our city’s tap water. Probably didn’t help the poor guys.
Another reason your plants may have brown tips is if you don’t water them for a while, then give them a lot of water at once, the water will travel to the tips so quickly that the cells at the end will burst and die. If you haven’t watered your plants in a while, just give them a little bit every 15 minutes or so, and you should be able to avoid the bursting cells at the tips! Hope this was helpful!
Interesting. We have Hard AF water here in the AZ Desert, and my dumb-butt couldn’t figure out why my plants weren’t flourishing. Switched to bottled water and now have an indoor jungle. Have since put a water filtration system throughout the house, and R/O under sink. If your plants aren’t thriving on tap water, then imagine how are your organs are doing! 😳
I just love how these plants look - Like a green leafy octopus with all its tentacles extended out - I used to gather as many babies as I could find and place them all into a shallow aluminum pan filled with just water and watch them root over time - I love growing the babies - My neighbors think I’ve been in the sun too long bcz of how refer to all these new sprouts as “babies” - I really really love to just watch a bunch of them in a hanging flower pot with all their tentacles extended down and outward - Just beautiful 👍
Thank you for this video! My 4 spiders are in large hanging baskets (with Ivy and another cascading plant). I wish I could post a picture of them. In each pot, the spider legs are long, and full of babies. But when I move them to water them, some babies fall off. I didn't want to toss them. SO A BIG "THANK YOU" for your straight-to-the-point video showing various ways to propagate them! I'll have lots of Christmas gifts of these to give away to family and friends - haha!
Good info in this video! I have used vermiculite to propagate. Just make a hole in soil, add vermiculite to fill hole, place cutting in, and keep vermiculite wet. The roots grow fast and the plant does too!
Hi Harli, I have tried all three ways of propagating spider plants, and my favorite is to just plop them in the soil. During the winter my spider plant doesn't seem to spit out as many babies. I just thoroughly enjoy your videos, they always bring a smile to my face, and sometimes an all out huge laugh! Can't wait till the next one, have an awesome day!
What a great straightforward video. Thank you! I have my best luck with the water method. I seem to forget to water the ones in the dirt enough. . and the paper towel method seems like I'd forget to keep it moist also. I just cut like 50 babies to try to root for gifts to coworkers. I'll be going with the water method for most of them just so I can be forgetful but I'll try the dirt method for the curly plants I have. Those take up an awkward amount of room in a water method situation.
Thank you for your simple, straightforward video. I'm going to use the soil method to transplant my spiderettes and I'm going to use clear plastic cups so that I can see the rooting process taking place. Once rooted, I will transplant to another pot. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for the info! I’ve been trying to raise various plants over the years. And I always end up killing them somehow. Even cactus! I have all sorts of succulents and they always look like they’re struggling and stretching. I’ve had this one spider plant that I got from my Mon about 5 years ago and it’s just now in recent months started getting big and making babies. Over the past year she’s gotten huge and making LOTS of babies. My Mom always put the babes in water, but I wanted to find out multiple methods, so thank you so much lady!!😊
Thanks for the info ! It’s so nice to know someone is just as obsessed with plants as I am ... ha. And ....I loved seeing your dog in the background , so cute ! ❤️
I like the water method so you can watch the roots grow, as you said. we've had as many as 7 or 8 Spider plants growing around the house, all hanging from baskets and the plants reaching the floor!!! Great plants, highly recommended!!
My neighbor gave me a spider plant baby about 14 days ago! I’m definitely a Nosy Belly when it come to propagating my plants & im new to the spider plant (I’ve always wanted one but my house is already a jungle & the hubs said “when we move”)! Back to the point, I put the baby in a small glass pitcher (it’s miniature .. a knickknack basically)….it has just a nub and now the roots are about 3 inches. Transplanting today into a beautiful pot my 5 year old daughter made in school. I can’t wait for my spider baby to make spider babies because I’m already obsessed! My kids 5 & 3 have absolutely loved watching the propagation process! My kids are little botanist 💜
Thank you! I have my first spider plant that has many babies but only a few mature enough w nodes to propagate. I plan to use the water method. Thanks for the quick and easy tutorial. Happy planting!
Thank you so much for making it such a short, informative, easy video on how to propagate a spider plant. Some videos I watch it’s like 20-30 minutes. Thank you sooo much 😊 happy growing 🪴
Thank you for this video. I recently bought a spider plants with lots and lots of babies so I'm going to give some new plants away for Mother's Day. I just recently in the last couple of years developed my green thumb, as in, I can finally keep plants alive, do I'm excited about sharing my new talent...lol. I'm trying the paper towel and vile method. I think they will do well.
I too put my babies in a small glass vase to root. I then crack off a tiny bit of a fertilizer spike (Jobe brand is my favorite!) and also put it directly in the water. Since I started doing this a few years ago it seems like they grow like crazy
Thank you! I have been wanting to give my mom & neighbor a baby spider plant. Now I have three ideas to carry that out. I think I want to try the water way. Any idea what to do with the stem that is left hanging? Just leave it alone?
I love spider plants 😆🌿🕷️🕸️ I have a variegated one, an orange one and a green one. Never plant one in the ground... They are highly invasive and will take over the whole garden, so all ways keep them in pots 😁😁😁 Thank you for an awesome video Harli 💐❤️🌵
I love this spider plant. I've been wanting to add the Bonnie to my collection for so long. Found a green one in someone's trash which is a huge surprise because it was so healthy. Can't wait to get the Var. Bonnie variety one day. Thanks for sharing as always. It's great to see you again. Hope all is well🌱
2 quick questions - how long does it take via the Hydroponic(water) method for the roots to grow & what can you do to make your spider plant flower? Thanks in anticipation.
I always start my babies in the top of my fishtank filter lol, but we see roots within 3 days. I leave them in there for 3 weeks then switch them to dirt. You do need to keep them a little wetter at first, as they got used to being in water but they will plant in dirt fine.
I love spider plants! Great pointers! You have a really nice singing voice by the way; when you sang 'bye' at the end of the video, I could tell. Great video!
Very helpful, thanks! I also am nosey and like to see the roots growing. I didn't plan to repot one but I was gently petting it and on fell off! Guess it was ready to leave the nest!
Great video. Going to try your paper towel method 😊 The method i learned was to leave the babies in the mother plant. Place small pots around the main plant and rest or stake the babies to the surface of the soil. When they root cut them from the mother plant. Makes for very fast propagation and hardy babies
I do the dirt propagation method. But I had trouble getting them to stay in the dirt. They just kept falling out. So now I make a "pin". I take about 3" of floral wire, cut it, bend it into a U-shape like one of those old-fashioned hairpins. Then I put the spider baby in hole in the dirt, put the pin around it and push down. This secures it to the dirt. This way, the baby stays in contact with the dirt. In a couple months when roots have formed, I just remove the pin. Although I think a couple of times I forgot all about the pin but it didn't mind.
THANK YOU! I am so happy you were the link I clicked for my spiders. Perfect personality and quick awesome info.!(i'm a huge hurry up and tell me what I want to know person, haha) I had to subscribe. I like to see the root growth as well 🙂 Again THANK YOU, you are awesome!
Thank you! We used your video for some science during our homeschool quarantine (I have a kindergartner). We are propagating now! I do have a question- is there anything to do to help the roots if they are getting too long in a pot? Or are they fine? Thanks!
Great video! So much easier than I thought it would be! I had my spider plants out for the summer, and I’ve never seen a spider plant take off like this in my life! One has at least 7 shoots full of new plants! However, now that they’re in, the main plant is browning. Is there something I should be doing? I know I can save much of the baby plants. Thanks!
So super helpful, I am a new plant mom. I noticed the little plants sprouting from a stem I was wondering what they were until they started getting a little bit bigger then it looked like actual little plants pretty surprising wasn’t sure what to do with them because I didn’t wanna cut them off and end up killing them. I didn’t know what kind of plant I had so looked it up, checked out RUclips, found your post, now I know what to do. Thank you for the help..
Thank you. My spider plant has loads of babies and I wasn't sure what was the best way to plant them so this really helped. If they all survive I should have about 10 new plants yey :)
My dad had a spider plant for years at his office that I didn't know about, so when I mentioned I was considering getting a spider plant, he brought me a little plantlet and I'm propagating it in water right now :)
ahh thank you so much! my newest plant is a spider plant and it just started popping out all of these babies. I’m so excited for more little plants from her 💚💚
I picked one up off the ground at a garden center and I am trying the water method. I am hopeful but no growth yet in a week. It does have the node. God bless!
Great video. All the ideas work great...this is a very resilient plant like the yucca.....I currently grow both, and I have so much growth that I cut them down every 2 to 3 years . I could eventually have an outside forest with them......
Great video. I now know what to do with my spider plant baby given to me by a neighbor. The baby has been in a little glass jar and it looks like the roots are at 2 inches now. Time to plan. Thanks Harli!
nice tutorial! it's short and to the point, making it a lot more accessible in my opinion. i've been trying to propagate a spiderette via soil for the past few weeks, and it hasn't really rooted yet, but i'm gonna try a water prop, like this video suggested, and see how that goes. thanks for the info :D
Thanks for the video .I have had great success with plants use test tube with water .I have had lots of white flowers on plant.I really like this plant .
Hey! I recently filmed an updated version of this video (a lot better quality) & here is the link if you’re interested ruclips.net/video/iGaCOHzUv6A/видео.htmlsi=wRv_zlsdzw34_1gK
You were doing great already, yay!!
Could you not give a small donation to the school?
I left my spider plant in the frost and it died, but when I was emptying the pot I found 2 big white roots, I planted them and watered for weeks and I got 2 new spider plants which now have babies. Definitely a cool plant
Woah, I guess that's it's way of being dormant? So cool!
Spider plants are rather hard to actually kill, good at bouncing back .
It was never dead. Should have left it alone it would have came back
haha this gives me hope
I've had that happen to me before as well. That's when I learned that these plants go dormant during the winter. We thought it was dead we weren't giving it water or anything. But when spring came started raining and it activated the plant growth
My spider plant spit out 30 babies in one go this summer (no joke!), but then it cut off its bigger, more established babies, like the stem connecting them withered away. She kicked the teenagers out of the house lol! I love your curly-leaf one, she's beautiful!!
Hahaha I guess a Mama has gotta do what a Mama has got to do :P
That happened to my Momma spider. Kicked out the teens and so I'm now trying to propagate a bunch of babies.
That's great
Same here! I have about 50 babies I need to save before she cuts the cord! 🤣🤦🏼♀️
Mine has 10 on it right now that's what I was wondering when do you cut them off
Finally a video where somebody ACTUALLY tells you WHERE to cut.
Thank you so much. In this few minutes you gave me all the information I have spent hours on finding. Pls keep making great videos like this one!
Yes omg I love this video, I love how she shows us exactly what to do.
I so appreciate your straightforward video!! I’m totally new to propagating plants, and there are a million videos I’ve sifted through and been more confused than before. Your video is a breath of fresh air! Keep up the good work!
Right! Exactly how I feel!
The feeling is mutual... I like her sense of humor
Start with pothos!! I have 10 pothos plants that all came from one that I bought for $5 at Walmart. Half of them are in water and I love the esthetic of it. Also, they are damn near impossible to kill. Happy planting!
Totally agree with you! This gal is easy-to understand and follow thru with my plants 🌱 growth! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

i take baby ones from the plant at school because it’s free and they don’t notice 😂
Lol my teacher actually gave some to me. Those were my first real interaction with houseplants...
Omg same! I asked my teacher and found out she is very into gardening too!
Amy Grace me too. 😭😤 I cant find them elsewhere and my school gets rid of them typically so why not take a few. It might get me some odd looks my way but if all goes well my plant will live longer than my high school experiebce

oh! I have never even thought to try that! I am going to give it a go. Thanks for sharing! That's really cool.
I actually did that with water I left baby attached to the mother and just stuck it in cup of water and it develops roots after 3-4 weeks.
That's better. One can't take chances with babies 😂
Would regular potting soil do? I only have an all purpose one and one for cacti and succulent. Do i mix those? Or just the all purpose one? :)
Still getting nutrients from mom, haha smart
I just took two cutting from my mothers spider plant. Each cutting has two babies! I am so excited. They root so quickly. The original spider plant is over 20 years old! Love these plants. Great video Harli! 🌿
Oh how fun! It is so exciting to see new growth & wow! 20 years old?! That's crazy!

I'm convinced house plants will take over once we go extinct lol especially spider plants.
That’s awesome!!!
What soil medium to use?
You asked for comments from plant enthusiasts, and I am one! I really like your video because it's short, straightforward, and I sent it to a friend. Thanks for making this easy

When you plant can you put them in a big pot together?
Thank you for showing us!! Surprising how so many of these plant videos on RUclips don’t show us visual learners anything but a talking head.
Thank you mentioning the nosiness attributes that some of us plant lovers tend to have!
Best tip I can give everyone when it comes to spider plants is 1. Water with distilled or filtered water to avoid the brown tips and also when potting them do NOT mix perlite into the soil this too contributes to brown tips. They just have a sensitivity to fluoride and both these things will cause your perfect baby plant to start having issues from the get go but if you start the kid right from the start your spider will look outstanding from the get go. :D

Another reason your plants may have brown tips is if you don’t water them for a while, then give them a lot of water at once, the water will travel to the tips so quickly that the cells at the end will burst and die. If you haven’t watered your plants in a while, just give them a little bit every 15 minutes or so, and you should be able to avoid the bursting cells at the tips! Hope this was helpful!

I bought one for $5.00 planted it strictly in coco coir and the shoots that have come up are massive try it because they love it
Thank you for making a quick, short video, and straight to the point.

It's really cool to see! Especially when a lot of plants take forever to root haha
My first time propagating in water, fingers crossed for rootage 🤞🏻😁
I guess I did something wrong. After 4 weeks there were no roots and the plantlings got black at the bottom.
Thanks for the info ! It’s so nice to know someone is just as obsessed with plants as I am ... ha.

Thanks for this short, fast and info-packed video... You kept everything really simple, just the way it is supposed to be 😬👊🏼😇
Thank you! I have my first spider plant that has many babies but only a few mature enough w nodes to propagate. I plan to use the water method. Thanks for the quick and easy tutorial. Happy planting!
You methods were very useful. Thank you for this now I plan on having probably way to many spider plants.
Thank you so much for making it such a short, informative, easy video on how to propagate a spider plant. Some videos I watch it’s like 20-30 minutes. Thank you sooo much 😊 happy growing 🪴
Thank you for this video. I recently bought a spider plants with lots and lots of babies so I'm going to give some new plants away for Mother's Day. I just recently in the last couple of years developed my green thumb, as in, I can finally keep plants alive, do I'm excited about sharing my new talent...lol. I'm trying the paper towel and vile method. I think they will do well.
I too put my babies in a small glass vase to root. I then crack off a tiny bit of a fertilizer spike (Jobe brand is my favorite!) and also put it directly in the water. Since I started doing this a few years ago it seems like they grow like crazy
Thank you! I have been wanting to give my mom & neighbor a baby spider plant. Now I have three ideas to carry that out. I think I want to try the water way. Any idea what to do with the stem that is left hanging? Just leave it alone?
Cut off stem. You only need the baby
That was so interesting and looks easy, will be trying them out, i have lots of so called babies. Great stuff.
Thanks! Such an efficient video, no filler. I appreciate it!
straight to the point. subscribed.
Thank you for the straight forward instructions!! Breath of fresh air when it comes to a beginner!
I love spider plants 😆🌿🕷️🕸️
I have a variegated one, an orange one and a green one.
Never plant one in the ground... They are highly invasive and will take over the whole garden, so all ways keep them in pots 😁😁😁
Thank you for an awesome video Harli 💐❤️🌵
Thank you Harley! I'm following your instructions for the nosiest (and least experienced) kind of plant lover 😊
Short and sweet video! Also - appreciate the time stamps! Thanks!
I love this spider plant. I've been wanting to add the Bonnie to my collection for so long. Found a green one in someone's trash which is a huge surprise because it was so healthy. Can't wait to get the Var. Bonnie variety one day. Thanks for sharing as always. It's great to see you again. Hope all is well🌱
2 quick questions - how long does it take via the Hydroponic(water) method for the roots to grow & what can you do to make your spider plant flower? Thanks in anticipation.
The more rootbound it is the more the plant will put out
@@ladyj7653 Appreciate. Any input on the time period?
Sinmoy, you should be able to see nice roots at about a week if conditions are preferable.
I always start my babies in the top of my fishtank filter lol, but we see roots within 3 days. I leave them in there for 3 weeks then switch them to dirt. You do need to keep them a little wetter at first, as they got used to being in water but they will plant in dirt fine.
I love spider plants! Great pointers! You have a really nice singing voice by the way; when you sang 'bye' at the end of the video, I could tell. Great video!
Very helpful, thanks! I also am nosey and like to see the roots growing. I didn't plan to repot one but I was gently petting it and on fell off! Guess it was ready to leave the nest!
Great video. Going to try your paper towel method 😊 The method i learned was to leave the babies in the mother plant. Place small pots around the main plant and rest or stake the babies to the surface of the soil. When they root cut them from the mother plant. Makes for very fast propagation and hardy babies
I do the dirt propagation method. But I had trouble getting them to stay in the dirt. They just kept falling out. So now I make a "pin". I take about 3" of floral wire, cut it, bend it into a U-shape like one of those old-fashioned hairpins. Then I put the spider baby in hole in the dirt, put the pin around it and push down. This secures it to the dirt. This way, the baby stays in contact with the dirt. In a couple months when roots have formed, I just remove the pin. Although I think a couple of times I forgot all about the pin but it didn't mind.
This was just the info I was looking for. Love the little glass vial you are using--where did you find it?
You’re so cute!! It’s sweet seeing how happy the plants make you (:
Thanks for this vid! Can’t wait to pot my baby spider clipping (:
This is so helpful!! Thank you, I just got some babies this morning, I am so excited to grow them
Love this video, made things very easy. Harley was very direct and to the point which was easy to understand for a beginner!
Thank you. Sharing my beautiful spider plant babies with my coworkers
Short and sweet and exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you. You’ve got my sub right away. Looking forward to what else you have in store.
Thanks for the very clear and straight forward information Harli!
Thanks for your video. This will be my 1st time trying to propagate my babies. I'm going to try all 3 methonds. So much fun!
Love how straightforward you are in this video. I just put a baby spider plant in some water, praying it'll grow! :D
THANK YOU! I am so happy you were the link I clicked for my spiders. Perfect personality and quick awesome info.!(i'm a huge hurry up and tell me what I want to know person, haha) I had to subscribe. I like to see the root growth as well 🙂 Again THANK YOU, you are awesome!
Thank you! We used your video for some science during our homeschool quarantine (I have a kindergartner). We are propagating now!
I do have a question- is there anything to do to help the roots if they are getting too long in a pot? Or are they fine?
Thanks!
Great video! So much easier than I thought it would be! I had my spider plants out for the summer, and I’ve never seen a spider plant take off like this in my life! One has at least 7 shoots full of new plants! However, now that they’re in, the main plant is browning. Is there something I should be doing? I know I can save much of the baby plants. Thanks!
So super helpful, I am a new plant mom. I noticed the little plants sprouting from a stem I was wondering what they were until they started getting a little bit bigger then it looked like actual little plants pretty surprising wasn’t sure what to do with them because I didn’t wanna cut them off and end up killing them. I didn’t know what kind of plant I had so looked it up, checked out RUclips, found your post, now I know what to do. Thank you for the help..
Love all the info in less than three minutes! Thank you!
Harli I always watch till the end of your video cause I love to hear you sing “bye”.
😆😆👍🏼
Beautiful curly spider plant 😊
Thank you. My spider plant has loads of babies and I wasn't sure what was the best way to plant them so this really helped. If they all survive I should have about 10 new plants yey :)
They are ABSOLUTELY easy to grow. Before long you will have 10 new plants. ✌🏻🌿❤
Ground cinnamon has proven to be a great rooting hormone for plant cuttings for me.
My dad had a spider plant for years at his office that I didn't know about, so when I mentioned I was considering getting a spider plant, he brought me a little plantlet and I'm propagating it in water right now :)
Thanks for the video. I just took a bunch of cuttings off my spider plant. We'll see how they do in a few weeks. Happy planting! :)
Thanks for the info , have just done all 3 ways to see what happens 😀
ahh thank you so much! my newest plant is a spider plant and it just started popping out all of these babies. I’m so excited for more little plants from her 💚💚
I've learned that you can put them in Direct Light but you have to Mist the Leaves Daily preferably in the Morning and Rotate the Plant daily.
Thanks from London very nice presentation and simple for beginners like me .
Love you video! Now if I can just get my plant to have babies!! LoL. Thanks for all the info.
I picked one up off the ground at a garden center and I am trying the water method. I am hopeful but no growth yet in a week. It does have the node. God bless!
Thank you for how concise and useful this information is!
I put the baby in soil whilst it is still attached to the mother plant. So far so good.
Can’t wait to try it!! Thanks for sharing 3 methods!!!
Great video. All the ideas work great...this is a very resilient plant like the yucca.....I currently grow both, and I have so much growth that I cut them down every 2 to 3 years . I could eventually have an outside forest with them......
Great video. I now know what to do with my spider plant baby given to me by a neighbor. The baby has been in a little glass jar and it looks like the roots are at 2 inches now. Time to plan. Thanks Harli!
nice tutorial! it's short and to the point, making it a lot more accessible in my opinion. i've been trying to propagate a spiderette via soil for the past few weeks, and it hasn't really rooted yet, but i'm gonna try a water prop, like this video suggested, and see how that goes. thanks for the info :D
I was trying to do the water method with the stem rather than the node. 😂 Glad I watched this before it died on me.
Thank you so much! Great style and production value, kudos all around 💜
Have never tried the damp paper towel method - will have to give it a go!
I am going to start my propagation today and am very thankful for this video! Awesome.
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks, will do!
Thanks for the video .I have had great success with plants use test tube with water .I have had lots of white flowers on plant.I really like this plant .
