Mine are all inside Tarv, and they were beautiful until the end of February. These are all different unusual species that I bought them from a special dealer of spider plants and they were all healthy. I have had them a year and they were just all re potted into larger pots and combined for them to be used as stock plants for future babies. I water less in the winter and never usually feed in the winter due to the lack of light etc. They do not like to be fed in the winter. I did feed one time late February because they were looking sad and I thought I would give them a boost. Did not work obviously.
Lights did not seem to do any good. Water I use is the same in the greenhouse as in the house and the greenhouse plants are in beautiful condition...I have been watching them closely since I lost so many of them in February due to the sudden drop in temperature to below 30 in the GH back in February. It has been a very trying winter here in NJ. and I am determined to save these plants.
The snow is still coming down and we have six more inches. When I can get to the GH I am going to repot all of them again. Maybe there was something in the soil since I re potted them all from the same bag. Hmmmm. Just thinking.
Thanks for your concern and comments. I take every suggestion to heart.
