Thanks Dzitmoidonc! The plant was given to me 2 months ago - it was a cutting back then. When I checked its roots at that time, it had none. I do not know how much roots it has grown since then - I have to check. How long does it usually take for a plant to be pot bound? As for the plant becoming leggy - it hasn't happened yet. I mean, I think it still looks the same from the time I received it. But I might try what you had suggested in the future when the plant becomes leggy. Honestly, I have been observing the months every week and I don't notice anything (regarding the plant growing) except for the aerial roots. I will keep this advice in mind when I am watering. Thanks again!

Thank you everyone for your replies :) It is good to finally know a little more about this weird looking plant of mine. I also read something interesting that explains why it bloomed after 3 years. Ill just copy and paste here : "You should however keep in mind that blooming of the plant is related to how much light the plant is allowed to have. This plant is a short-day flower producer, which means it needs less hours of sunlight. Several hours in darkness will enhance flower production. Plants begin to bud in fall but require 12 14 hours of darkness daily for 6 8 weeks prior to coming into full bloom. This can be done by placing the plant in a dark room or cover it with a cloth. Its best for plants to have cool temperatures of around 55˚ - 60˚ F during this period. If you are not successful with creating the proper short days requirement, your plant will still bloom, but you may get a more sporadic bloom period." That explains it for me because as I said in the end I got tired of looking at it so I put it in a room all alone and sometimes forgot about it in the darkness for days. And this is when it started blooming. So it was really weird for me because I never heard of a plant that likes darkness o_0. But now after reading this and reading all your comments and tips I understand a bit more what Im dealing with here. Its good to know Im not growing a mutated plant. Still . . . I like to continue calling him "Muty" :) I have decided to trellis & train it as "baci" said and Ive already moved it back into the dark room and who knows maybe Im lucky and it flowers in Halloween :) Thank you very much everyone :)

Thanks! I believe that is an "ocean" spider plant and it grows too fast! Right now it looks terrible because of how it is leaning over but in that picture it was at its peak. Not sure if it is something I do, or just what the plant does genetically. Mine also gets brown tips but the leaves are so wide and long that it doesn't seems to make much difference. It sits in a south facing window. I let it get all that sun but in the summer, on super sunny days, I would lower the blind and reduce its sun exposure. But it does seem to tolerate a lot of sun. I gave it full strength fertilizer in the summer and I am currently giving it half strength fertilizer - it has a bunch of new babies so I figure it needs it. The only thing I might do differently, and it seemed to LOVE, was I gave it egg shell water. Take used egg shells and rinse them. Soak the egg shells in water in Tupperware. After a few days you water the plants with it. But I think you can only do with plants that like alkaline soil. I know that it is not a very precise way of feeding a plant but I read that spider plants love calcium. And I do have to say, the plant was visibly healthier about two days after I would do it. I have done it about three times. Warning, if you leave the eggs shells in the water longer than a couple days it will smell like death!

Sometimes the best thing to do is consider the problem idiopathic and simply turn to making sure you have the basics covered. You need first, a good soil that offers at least the opportunity for good root health, favorable light levels and temperature range, and a sound nutritional supplementation program. Fortunately for you and your plant, it's the perfect time of year (if you live in the northern hemisphere) to formulate a plan that should turn your plant around and prepare to initiate it. If you get the basics covered and cultural conditions favorable enough that the plant is growing in its 'sweet spot' instead of at the limits of what it was programmed to tolerate, you'll be golden. I'm not offering more because I'm counting on the fact you'll have interest in learning how to provide that sweet spot and will start asking questions. If you're not that interested, I hope you fare well and all your efforts lead to rewards. Al
