WE can't tell you how many times per week you'll need to water. That will depend entirely on variables that are unique to your environment. So the honest answer to your question is that you need to determine (with your fingers) the moisture content of the potting medium and water only when your plant needs it! In other words, I may have to water my baby spider plant three times a week....but purpleinopp finds that she only needs to water once every two weeks. Your potting medium should be watered thoroughly (please put the spray bottle down) and then allowed to dry out somewhat. Be wary of any advice from someone who tells you to water a certain number of times per week.

so, what's the answer? cause i bought my spider plant, already growing, about 3 years ago (give or take) and ive never seen a baby . h**l ive never even had a full bushy plant despite; the south facing window, soaking and drying completely for water (twice a month ill say), i feed liquid fish fertilizer (2-3-0) and replace the potassium with bimonthly banana peels (i prefer organics for plants) . its hanging in a basket .. i changed the soil this summer so i know the tube roots are thriving (actually wasnt prepared for them and scared the begeebys out myself hahaha) . my only thought upon reading above posts ; could i have repotted too soon and didn't let the roots get hugged? cause i assumed like most other plants if you give more space for roots, the more intricate the roots become, the stronger the plant .. is that wrong? helpp !! i want plant babies !

I have tried twice with baby spider plants. one time, with zero success, it died. That time I potted it up in a small pot. The second time, I stuck it in the top of a regular old plastic water bottle, filled with water. I wo uld let the water level get very low, to where it was just barely touching the roots, and refill it. It was there for about 4 months. After it had about 3" of new root growth or so, I potted it up. I took off any old brown or blackening roots and leaves, and its done fine the month andd 1/2 its been in soil. I let it fully dry out before I water it good. Its now starting to really grow and is producing new leaves. It seems like its doing just fine, and is on its way to becoming a happy, healthy, flowering adult some day. Good luck with yours!

After I up-potted my spider plant last month, it put out not one, but FOUR alien tentacles...and none of them produced babies, but all of them produced flowers. The first one that came out was the biggest, and it itself had four branches! It was nuts!! I'm really curious to know what yours is up to. Hopefully, also flowers. Spider plant flowers are so cute and small. =)
