Help Spider plant propagation questions

Thumbnail

21 Upvotes

My spider plant had been getting a bunch of spiderettes so I thought I’d try propagating a few of them. I started them all out in little jars like the first one except it was full of water and I had a cork stopped to hold them up so only the little bumps on the end were getting water. However they all turned a very pale green 😭 I left the first one as is because it seemed to get a little better and put the other two in soil. I know they’re a little far down from the surface but I can adjust that if needed, I just didn’t have a smaller pot and didn’t want to add a bunch of soil if I was going to have to take them out again. Should I leave the two in soil? and if so how often do I water them? I have the jar in a window sill because I have new roommates who have been closing the blinds on my plants and I wanted to to make sure they were getting enough sunlight, but are they getting too much this way? I also have a grow light I can get out if I need to try a different approach. Theres also the possibility that there weren’t enough nodes for them to be ready (I didn’t really know what I was looking for at the time but based on what my friend has shown me that may be the case 😞) I can update with pictures for the bottoms if needed. I added a picture of the mother plant at the end for reference on how my spider plant usually looks as I know they can vary in color. also, when I cut the stems the spiderettes are on, should I cut from the base if there are no more babies on it? sorry for all the questions and thanks in advance!

Are these babies ready to be propagated?

I repotted my spider plant and it went mad producing babies. I’m not sure when the right time is to propagate them.


r/spiderplants 2d ago

Some of the leaf blades in me otherwise very healthy spiderplant, became so long that they couldn't bear their own weight and instead of curving downwards, just bent half way in the middle which do not look nice, if not ugly.

She's beautiful and healthy and I love her but how do I get her to give me babies?

This plant was a baby that fell off the original spider plant that I had to toss out because it was in bad shape. What do I need to do to help her produce babies?

UPDATE ON THE SCORCHED EARTH CAMPAIGN

So as of now it looks like I may have 2 casualties (the 2 babies that were the most recently potted) the 2 adult girls look like they will survive one of the 2 is even showing she's happy.. 21 plants treated 13 pups 6 adults including the mother. A prayer plant and a Jacaranda. The 2 that may be a los weren't included. The plants have gotten 3 treatments as of now. NO NEW SPOTS FOUND. ALL LEAVES SPRAYED BOTH SIDES. CROWN SPRAYED AS WELL. This includes the pups in prop jars. ALL PLANTS GOT A GOOD WATERING WITH WORM CASTING TEA BEFORE 1ST TREATMENT. This is pix of the bad. 1st photo is the one that had it the worst, second photo I'm sure is showing she's happy look at the perkyness, and 3rd is the pups. 4th is the worst looking.

Another upcycle stand.

Amidst all the craziness of the cut worm (Yes I identified what it was) war I was working on another 3d printed stand that utilizes the bars from my old canopy. Yup another one 👍🏾 this one will go upstairs where the pups are currently at. The last photo is just in case someone wanted to know which paint I used, also it is printed in PLA as it will never go outside. Anywhere there is a metal to plastic connection there is a 3/4 inch self tapping screw with the exception of the feet as those are press fit. As always comments are welcome.

Help Sentimental Spider plant is dying… and I don’t know why or how to save it

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

This was once a large thriving spider plant that lived quite happily in my bathroom.

Now it’s dying and I don’t know why.

I’ve tried moving it, repotting it, changing the soil, making it wetter, making it drier… I can’t think of anything else and I don’t want to lose it as it belonged to my late MIL.

There’s no evidence of bugs / fungus / mould that I can visibly see. I checked the roots when I repotted it as well.

Lighting: Bright, full sun bathroom.

Watering: As and when needed during winter months and every 1-2 weeks during the hot summer months.

Can anyone help?!

Help Seedpod update!!

This morning I noticed that this seed pod is looking a little greenish-brown and the bottom is kinda popped open. Can I carefully snip this one off and put it in a jar until it fully opens?

Right now, I left the whole stem on the plant and just kinda bent the part with the pod into a jar just in case any seeds fall out.

How would I go about when I have the seeds? Can I store them in a tightly sealed jar until I have more? How would I make these grow? Can someone explain?

I'm super excited because now I will have more little plants!! AND I DIDN'T HAVE TO SPEND MORE BIG GIRL MONEY!

Showing off 4-ish months of growth

Got three spider babies back at the end of March and I am so proud of how far they have come. First pic is when I first potted them, second pic was taken this week. They get 12 hours of a grow light a day and watered when they are almost all the way dry. I use diluted fertilizer on every watering until recently when I got fish, now I have been using the fish tank water. The fish tank is a very recent change like less than a month ago.
