How to propagate spider plants the fastest

1. Division propagation

The separated roots can be transplanted, or the rhizomes of the spider plant can be allowed to grow new roots, and then cut off and transplanted. New roots will grow in about two or three days. Prune the plants to remove dead roots and yellow leaves. Although this type of spider plant is easy to propagate by division, it is easy to damage the root system. Improper operation will affect its growth and even cause the death of the mother plant.

2. Cutting propagation

Use the new plants on the rhizomes for reproduction. Cut the new plants on the rhizomes, plant them in the soil or water, and transplant them after they grow roots. This method will not damage the mother plant, but the cycle will be longer. Under the condition of maintaining appropriate temperature and humidity, it will take about 7 days for roots to take shape, and it can be transplanted after 20 days. The process of cutting propagation is relatively convenient and the survival probability is relatively high, so this method is more commonly used.

3. Seed propagation

It should be done in March in spring. Bury the seeds in the soil, cover with a small amount of soil, water them enough, and keep the temperature at 15-20 degrees. They will germinate in about half a month. After the seedlings are formed, they can be transplanted into pots.
