It's incredibly rare, but sometimes there is a mutation in the plants genetics somewhere in the night cycle, the xylem and flowem sort of oozes out of gland sites on the plant. I had a money tree plant that would do it but right at the top of one of the glands on a node oozed a single drop of plant gel. I tasted it and it definitely was planty and sweet. But I have seen aphids up here in the North East and when they attack a plant, there are millions of the little bastards and not enough lady bugs to eat them.

Older vid but hey still worth to comment. I have several of these around the house. They're all in those glass bowls with iron standers, roots are bare (no soil) after 3-5cm of soil and they stand in water most of the time. For some reason these guys like it very much. Haven't got root rot on any of them but maybe i just have a special veriaty or because the are so used to being grown in water. I get pups every other month or so on each plant

Are the airplane plant the same as the spider plant? The ones I have are a solid green, and have no variegation on the leaves. Prolific plants! The first plant I had, was a pup that had been run over in a parking lot. ( in 2013) Picked it up, stuck it in water, and all my airplane plants are decedents from that one little pup. I must be on the great great grandkids. . I simply can't toss them in the trash.

I love this plant! Thanks so much for sharing. Evidently, a bird dropped a few plants on the lawn at our new house and I found them growing, where some old tree stumps were. I pulled them out and potted them up, now I have 3 of them lol. So beautiful when they start filling out. Thanks for sharing! I put one in a coconut coir hanger basket and it looks so cute and natural.

My pups have a hard time taking to the soil I've noticed. I've tried a good amount of times and only had one actually take. Is there something I can do to make sure the roots take to the soil? I usually start them In water and transplant once they have some roots and I use just a regular potting mix.

Louie, the houseplant (spiderplant, does not like hanging anywhere EXCEPT his east facing kitchen window, he makes tons of babies. he has been with us i think about four years now.
post note: he seriously seems to like it when there is a big tub of hot dishwater humidifying his area in winter

I have just purchased a spider plant for the first time and have no experience with this plant. I was told that if the babies are left on to long they can potentially take nutrients from the mother plant and kill it. Is there any truth to this? Would love some insight.

Love your videos! I've had my spider plant for some time and been reporting and trying to find a good steady location in my house for her to survive. Will she survive underneath a light where I keep my wine glasses but directly under that light?

My spider plant has purple spots that start in the counter of the leaf about 1/4 of the way to the tip. Ive not seen this before. It also is getting a lot of leaves that are dying close to the base where it attaches to the stalk.

I inherited a neglected spider plant that had lost most of its lower leaves, so much of the original stem is bare. I don't know if I should cut it off and try to root the original plant? It has a few pups. Thanks!

In another video you mention that misting accomplishes nothing. Here you say to mist for humidity if you have brown tips. Not a criticism, just hoping for some clarification. Thanks.
