How to Root Spider Plant Babies (Spiderettes) in Soil or Water

Two Easy Methods

Soil (Best & Fastest)

1. Identify spiderettes with small roots/nubs.
2. Plant in lightweight mix with drainage. Keep attached to mother until rooted, or sever immediately (better for hanging plants).
3. Water to keep slightly moist. New growth = rooted.

Water (Optional)

1. Place spiderette in water for 1–2 weeks until roots form.
2. Then pot in soil.

For Fuller Plants

Start several spiderettes in one pot. Or add babies around a sparse mother plant.

Aftercare

Water as needed—moist but not soggy. Resume normal care once new growth appears.
