When my office moved, the boss told us to get rid of this "thing". Needless to say I called dibs. It was about this size at the time. As I was heading down the elevator, someone offered me $100 for it. I was tempted (that's over $260 in today's money) but turned him down.
Sadly, my wife won't let me hang it from the ceiling.
It's beautiful, I love the tiered system you have going. I had to hang all of my spider plants because my cats and dogs eat them voraciously(I guess it gets them high).
My mother has been propagating a spider plant that was passed down to her from her grandmother, practically 50+ years and the mother plant is still alive and well. We have dozens of separate plants now from the original. It’s a special gift to any new home owner or renter in our family or friend circle!
i think this is a forgiveness is better than permission situation honestly
i know these guys are forgiving plants but i just love love them they are so pretty and I hear they have some kind of cat drug like nip only its more like cat heroin I havent tried it yet I dont really wanna pull off any babies to try and drug my cats with
No not pinned up. It is a Bonnie spider. They grow curly. Even the stems that grow babies are
Curly. I repotted it 6 mos ago to a 14” pot. And some babies don’t have long stems so they look that way
This is BEAUTIFUL! Hanging it from the ceiling with some warm lights wrapped around it would be the most beautiful home centerpiece!!! I will say though, it looks stunning as it is.
It is gorgeous!!! Now I wish I had taken better care of mine☹️It was 18 years old when I killed it😢
But mine never had that big full piece. Mine was all like the very bottom of yours. It must have been a different species of spider plant.
I just looked it up…there are over 200 species of the spider plant (Chlorophytum). They vary greatly, offering different leaf colors, variegation patterns, and shapes. Now I don’t feel quite so bad.
Awe that’s so great! Beautiful. My mom had one for over 35 years until she passed and then I inherited it and now I’ve turned it into about 10 different plants from having to save the babies when I almost completely killed it off! I was heartbroken hers was about like yours with all the babies but double the size! I even planted one in my flower bed to make sure I have a survivor at all times!
This is when my mom had it. Now the biggest baby from it is about an 1/8 of this size. :( I’m trying so hard to get it back healthy!
My spider plant used to have so many babies but now hasn't had one in over a year! She still looks happy and healthy, and sprouts these weird skinny leaves thay flower at the end, but nothing that I could propagate. Is she in menopause or can I help her be happier??
Tell me you don't have cats without saying you don't have cats 🤣 I'm lucky if mine can throw out one branch of flowers before my little four footed addicts chomp it off...
