How To Propagate Spider Plants – With and Without Spiderettes

Spiderettes – Should you Remove them or Not?

What do you do if your spider plant is putting out spiderettes and you don’t want to propagate them? You don’t have to cut off new spiderettes.

As I mentioned above, they will continue to grow along with the main plant. However, if you wish to maintain a certain size or shape, you can simply trim off these baby spider plants and compost them.

Or you can give the spiderettes to fellow plant lovers. I have yet to meet a houseplant nut who doesn’t love the thrill of watching a cutting develop roots. We’re all propagation junkies, I think.

And that’s all there is to it.

The spider plant tops the list for one of the easiest houseplants to propagate. You’ve got plenty of choices when it comes to growing new plants from your main plant.

Choose one method you prefer or give each one a try and see which gives you the best results. Before you know it, your home will be filled with lush, green plants and clean air, thanks to all of the new spider plants you’ve created.
