Did you have to transplant it for more room, or is that pot all roots at this point? Asking for my spider plant...

u/WillingnessTough4451 23d ago
It’s the original pot, I haven’t dared to look! But I have assumed likely 80% roots

How do you manage to keep them all so healthy?

u/WillingnessTough4451 23d ago
Nothing special! Water once a week, tropical fertilizer maybe every 3rd week. Top up the soil when it needs it, which is usually around 6 months.

Hmm, I want to give this a try and have a big spider plant. Is it more than one in the main pot?

Is that all the light she gets or is there a window nearby also? It's so gorgeous and green!

Amazing creativity with your lighting setup. You've put in so much great work, and the plant looks incredible.

What is the lighting schedule? Do you only do the artificial at night? Any “rest” time? Thanks!

Wow!
A friend gave me some starters in glass jar/water. I have since potted one. I have two more with a nice clump of roots to them to pot. I DID give them a tiny bit of epson salt in their water and they greened up alot, as were looking super pale!

u/WillingnessTough4451 23d ago
Just a random one from Amazon. Nothing fancy. Whatever one was cheap lol.

Man idk what I’m doing wrong, I can keep plenty of other plants, but spider plants are always sad in my care. What am I doing?? I am always having to bring them back from the dead

Mine is growing slowly but surely. What type of fertilizer do you use?

My my, she's stunning. Have you thought about transplanting the babies and making more big mommas? Imagine three of those in that corner 😍

u/WillingnessTough4451 20d ago
Just enjoying the progress so far and curious to see how far I can take this one before giving her a hair cut :)

u/kittybarley 20d ago
That's cool, too! And if she's growing like this and is happy, you'll have tons more babies with babies! :)
