Spider plants 'crawling' out of pot..............
Comments (6)hi, i love spider plants. some people just dont get it because they arent very colorful and showy (my husband being one of those typed that dont get it) anyways, i used to have a nice collection of plants but then we had to vacate our home fairly quickly and i lost most of my plants in the move. im looking on here for anyone who would be willing to share some babies off their plants so that i could get back to collecting? im hoping for it to be possibly considered a gift from one plant lover to another because i dont have much to offer in return but if need be i will offer to crochet a plant hanger for you. ive just started making my own plant hangers, and i dont know how to do macrame yet but i can crochet and they are turning out pretty nice. i hope that i can start my collection back up, i live on a very limited budget because im a stay at home mom so i cant go out and buy what i want, and this would make my day to be able to have lots of plants again. thank you....See MoreIs my spider plant in the right pot?

Comments (11)No, it's pretty particular to you. If you WANT to know how to use pm's: Click member's name, click on "activity" and if they have their settings so that you can pm them, a little, magic box that says "message" will appear. It's all very mystical, I can't figure out the right combination or time of day to do it to get the box to spawn. It's pretty random. Must be set on like 0.0000001% chance in the algorithms of the program....See MoreSpider plant water roots
Comments (18)Hi ddups:. Yes, when propagating plants in water, I often add the gravel at the bottom. Or, right now, I have a dracena that I am "training" for gritty mix. It's been in water for about two years. So, I sat it in grit, added the water, and let the roots start to grow into and around the grit. I've also not added more water. So, the roots will eventually colonize around the grit and develop more lateral roots. I don't always do this when propagating plants in water. But for plants that I want to eventually transfer over to soil or plants that I plan to keep in water for a long time, I do add gravel to bottom of the container. I could be wrong about this, but I think the roots start to grow toward the gravel. Ill post a pic if you like.......See MoreRelated Professionals
