  1. Fun fact: your spider plant will turn pale green when it’s underwatered.

    Terracotta pot are AMAZING but some plants will thrive in them when others will not be the happiest in them. When considering terracotta consider that it will pull moisture faster so if you want to go longer in between waterings, terracotta might not be for you. If you tend to give your plants root rot, it could be a pot you’d benefit from.

    Plants that I find do great in terracotta, cacti and succulents. Plants I would absolutely avoid in terracotta: peace lilies, alocasias, nerve plants, any plants that like to stay moist.

  2. Wait that terracotta is from the monstera plant you rescued. Anyhow I left my spider plant outside over the winter, do you think its going to come back this spring?

  3. Spider plant loves water. Sometime I have to put water at their base for them to drink all day. They will bloom hundreds of small white flower, with hundreds of babies. Just put some organic compost+regular soil (some perlite if you want to, which I dont) and bloom fertilizer once in a while and you good to go. I have too much of this plant that sometime I have to regularly gave away/kill. Sorry for my english.

  4. I inherited my mama's spider plant that belonged to her great grandmother, so this kinda hurt me a lot to see this lol. It's been in the same ceramic pot all these years. Only time I use terracotta is for cacti that need drought-like conditions.

  5. I'm on my second spider plant and it's looking like this one will follow the path of its predecessor 🙁 And I don't know how to help her. She's so damn floppy all the time (just like her predecessor) and since I suspect root rot was the cause of death for the first one, I've pulled back on watering this one but she's still looking sad and crusty. 😢

  6. I didn’t know this was a thing. Ive been wondering why my aloe vera was sooo stressed out and why its soil always looked so dry. I’m definitely going to repot it, it looks so sad right now

  7. I had loads 9f spider plants, I rooted all the babies and and potted them for friends and family, last year most if mine died, I currently have a tiny tiny 3 leafed plant in water, trying to root her so she can come back to life amd give me more babies I hope. I have too many plants so it can be difficult to keep on top of the care all the time, so hopefully I'll grt better. You're videos ate so good, very helpful. I live how excited you get when you save them, just how I am lol ❤❤❤
