Should I cut off the spider plant when it grows small hanging plants?

1. Don’t prune

For the small hanging plants that grow on spider plants that have been cultivated for a long time, try not to prune them if they have no other uses, because blind pruning will reduce the ornamental value of the plant. If you leave it on the plant and cultivate it well, and transplant it after it takes root, you can grow a pot of spider plant again.

2. Maintenance methods

After the plant grows small branches, it is necessary to increase the amount of fertilizer applied appropriately. Because the growth of the small hanging plant also requires nutrients, and its nutrients are drawn from the mother plant. If the amount of fertilizer applied is not increased at this time, the plants will lack nutrients and suffer from abnormal growth.

In addition, it is necessary to increase the light so that the mother plant can synthesize more nutrients through physiological reactions to supply the growth of the small hanging plants and the plant itself.

3. Carry out division

If the number of small hanging plants is relatively small, you can place a bowl of water under them, allowing the small hanging plants to slightly touch the water surface to speed up their rooting. If there are a lot of small hanging plants, you can simply cut them off along with part of their roots and transplant them into another pot for maintenance.
