Good morning JB and everyone...
First--I need to post a disclaimer. I do not know much of anything about kinds and names
of spider plants. I just have them--they grow--I water as needed--if a baby falls off--I root it--
and so my cache multiplies.
They spend the summers--in my z-7a--outside--(as do ALL my houseplants) mostly under the cover
of my high patio roof. The HB hang from the edge of the patio roof anf get dapples AM sun that filters
through the branches of a Red maple. mostly, I would say, there is very bright shade.
My smaller, potted Spider plants are in different sized pots on a 5' rack against the house.
These also do not get any direct sun--but the lighting is ideal for houseplants.
JB has asked me to comment on my Spider plant "Bonnie'. I have had this one for about 6-7 years.
My big "Mama Bonnie" grows in a 12" HB. I know it is VERY root bound--but it seems to thrive
regardless. Perhaps this provides the "stressed out" aspect of what you all were talking about.
I water it when it seems to start drooping a bit. I never fertilize it. I think the last time I re-potted it
was about 3 years ago ??...Before that--it grew in a 10" HB. I DO use "Osmacote" when I re-pot plants.
It makes a lot of babies--some are even hard to see as they are "lost" in the foliage.
I sent JB a pile of them this summer. Plucked them off of Mama--and it almost made no difference.
JB has been good to me too--sharing her HolidaHactus. I don't mind helping her out.
OK! I did take a lot of pictures for you all to see. Not sure how to add comments to my pictures.
But--I will do my best....
