Re: INDOOR-GARDENING digest 570

Hi Dee.

I do believe your plants need to be repotted. If they are over crowded or too
root bound, they will not produce plantlets. On the other hand, if the roots have
too much room, they will not produce plantlets until the pot is filled with
roots. So go for a pot about a size bigger than the one they're in right now. One
more thing, spider plants will not produce plantlets until they reach maturity. I
do believe that after 10 years yours have reached maturity. As for their new
enviroment in the south facing window, I think they'll enjoy it. Make sure they
get bright light with no sun. My variegated is in a south facing window and doing
fine. It is still too young to produce plantlets though. The green one is in a
north facing window, that one has about 20 stems with at least 4-5 plantlets on
each. Looks great. The spider plants need bright light but they will also survive
in some shade but won't grow as fast in the shade.
