- Wait until the plant produces “babies” or spiderettes on long stems.
- Snip off a healthy pup and place it in water or moist soil.

Before you know it, you’ll have a whole family of Spider Plants!
🪴 Repotting Tips
Spider Plants grow fast and can become root-bound quickly.
- Repot every 1–2 years in spring when you see roots poking out of the drainage holes or the plant seems crowded.
- Choose a pot one size larger and refresh the soil.
⚠️ Common Issues (And Fixes)

| Pale leaves | Not enough light | Move to a brighter spot with indirect sunlight |
| Yellowing leaves | Overwatering | Allow soil to dry before watering again |
| No babies forming | Too little light or nutrients | Boost light and fertilize during growing season |
