After searching long and hard, this is literally the best spider plant video on RU-vid, I have no idea why this is not at the top of searches. I have most varieties apart from the bonnie. Including the miniature one you mention at the end. Its actually an Ocean as well.
I'm so glad that this video was helpful for you. I made the kind of video that I would have liked to have found when I was sorting out my spiders! I'm still on the hunt for the mini!
It's funny when I lived in town I could use tap water but for some reason out here in the country I have to use rain water. I haven't used distilled but I notice that they love the rain water!
loved how you said "plus they give babies❤" I love that about my spider plants... one rescued spider plant is currently blooming and I feel so so happy looking at it🎉
Thank you for the info. I have always had at least 1 spider plant in my plant collection. I did purchase a mandarin spider plant, not knowing that it was a spin off of the spider plant. I love the orange center. I did almost kill one by giving it full sunlight and all I had was stubs. I have cut it down, so just the orange was left, and planted in with my new one, and I believe it will be a vet full plant. I needed growing tips which I got from your vast knowledge. So thanks. Blessings.
Thank you this was helpful. I find it hard to tell some of the types from others by the pictures. I am growing my collection of spider plants and currently have 4. It all started with a trade with someone.
Hi from Vancouver BC. I have 4 of the mandarin (fireflash) plants. I discovered this year that the 3 older ones that are on my closed in deck had flowered with a big (2-4”) rather ugly flower. I left them on the plants and let the seed pods on the flower dry up. When they became almost black I started shaking them onto paper and discovered hundreds of tiny seeds. I haven’t started any seeds yet because I thought I’d wait til spring to give them a better chance. So, if you can, let your fireflash plants get older and a bit leggy and they will reward you! Thanks for the video!
I have the spider plant that is called green edge spider plant I'm looking for all the other ones you talked about am in love with my spider plants and my aloe vera I just love house plants your video is so awesome I got so much information out of your video then any other spider plant video on RU-vid Thank you so much
I bought 2 spider plants today with some vague knowledge going in, but now I love spider plants after watching this! 😍 you made them sound so interesting haha!
I have a baby reverse variegation from Canada, then got a variegated curly spider from interstate, Australia, then variegated "normal" spider? 😅 I would love a non variegated one... They're such beautiful plants
I have been upping my spider plant game. I agree they are overlooked! I know they are basic, but the huge ones are MAJESTIC! I picked up an 8" pot with two large solid green ones at a church rummage sale. I decided to repot it into two. It was solid root blobs and instead of soil, it was potted in what looked like straight sand. The poor plant! I gave it some good potting mix and compost and I bet both look amazing in a month. I can't believe they looked as reasonable as they did in SAND. Proof you can't kill these things - unless you forget them outside and they freeze.
Hi Elisa, you've got me hooked on spiders. I picked some cuttings up and a lovely lady gave me a cutting of a spider plant from Cuba, it's fab. Don't know the name but the mama is magnificent 😊
I got a Mandarin spider plant about a month ago and it’s my favourite plant so far! The orange on it is so gorgeous, and it grows like crazy. You’re the first person I’ve seen make a detailed video about it, thanks so much!
I bought a plant on marketplace that is supposed to be a spider plane, was very root bound, all green leaves… I repotted it in a larger plant, I do See some New Shoots growing out of soil, but no babies or long shoots yet…. Still not convinced this is a spider plant!
I have just started collecting them. I had one years ago but gave it away when we moved country. Now you have whet my appetite. Loving your videos. We should work on a collaboration video 😊
I found and bought Fire Flash seeds from Plantflix, after 13 days I have 5 sprouts. I also have a mama regular and a pot of her babies. Nice video, thanks!!!
I told before that I had planned a big biiiig spider plant video, but I must push into the future. I gave, with help from other new enthusiasts that Bonnie Caribbean and Pacific is identical when they're for sale. What I thought was Pacific is Caribbean, so to be fair I need to get my hands on s "labeled" Pacific. But I will do a photo compilation over what I got atm. very soon so all of you will see them all I got anyway.
.. I've got the variegated one with leaves up to 48 cm.. And all the babies on it too 😲.. Can't even see that I've taken off a great deal by now and the mother keeps coming up with more.. And then I've got the Mandarin too.. I would love to have the green one and the Hawaii , but unfortunately they are not available around here..
I am from Portugal but I currently live in the Netherlands, i both a spider plant when I move here one yer ago and its de small one the “ocean” but mine is full grownup and is really thinning, I think it my be the one that you are looking for.
I will post a video about spider plants. Yours are far the greatest I've seen yet. But... I have 11 commercially named and produced varieties (and some mutations) very soon, just awaiting Lemon and Ocean. My collection is the European version, but I heard that USA ppl can, with some research, get their hands on every one nowadays. Please come over, comment and share your thoughts when it is up. This is one by far one of the most neglected house plants when it comes to cultivar knowledge...
I would really enjoy watching that! It is so difficult to get any information on these plants and they are so trusty and true houseplants. I haven't been able to find the lemon any where in the US and I have been looking.
That one seems to be the newest on the market? And the most elusive one. When I get my order (shipped 25th May). That will be my 3th Lemon, hopefully Lemon XD
you really just have to keep trying different things in your conditions. I have had a lot of luck planting spider plants directly into dirt but you must keep the dirt wet.
I have a horrible invasion of spider plants that’s wiped out a large bed of lariope. A few lariope remain at the bed edges. I have dug out spider plant roots 3 times. The bulb roots seem impossible to kill. Spider plants have regrown. How can I get completely rid of this astoundingly invasive nuisance to replant lariope? Bryon Satterfield
I dont know how to separate the plant without killing the roots and it is super over root bound and getting a lot of yellow leaves at the bottom please get back to me so i don't lose my plants I spent 70.00 on them. Please help me.
Loved your video. I had no idea that there were so many different kinds of spider plants. I got a big one from Walmart about six months ago. Long leaves with the white in the center. I keep waiting for babies to make more but nothing yet. How long do you think it may take before I see some babies? Thank you for all the information. It was very interesting.
And I’ve been watching all the channel never have the same what I have I’m tell you there is a route coming too long and then the top is it like it take roots like balloons should I keep them or should I take them or what should I do
Hello I transferred my spider plan because it looks like small in a pot and it didn’t bloom that it didn’t get so much sleeves it get dries every time I took it out think is I seen like there’s a root and there is a balloon like a balloon on top of the roots what is it so I cut some of the root in the bottom and I plan to the game tell me if it’s right or wrong thank you
So, did the baby solid green spider plant turn out to be a true curly??? I have been searching for one for 4 years. I had one and it was destroyed when I moved. 😭😭😭
The moment you said air purifying I stopped listening. I'm just beyond tired of dismissing this myth. NASA showed they filter out negligible amounts. You're going to need a little forest of these for them to actually have any air purifying effect.
@@luckybarrel7829 yup you are right, but they are listed as one of the best even if a small amount, so your air is slightly better than homes without them, I would say I would have plants no matter what, I love them and they bring me peace which I would say is even more of a boon for your health. When I did the research for this video I'm afraid the list only was a list, it didn't give the filtering amount. That's on me. I don't believe that most people who own plants have them for that reason, but it isn't a horrible side benefit even if small. People have plants because they are alive and beautiful. Thank you for your correction . It is noted and will be here in the comments for all.
