Here are a few shots of my spider plant. This was a cutting from the floor of the Home Depot a year ago. Stuck it in my purse, came home and sat it in water until I had nice long roots, planted in a basic Miracle Grow potting soil and she grew to this in a year! She now has, as you can see, quite a few babies, but has also sent up two "arms" that have small white flowers on them! I 've never seen flowers on a spider plant before! She sat outside on the deck most of the summer, and I brought her in and placed her in the second floor east facing window a month ago. The long "arm" with the flowers on it was a barely visible shoot coming up when I brought her in a month ago. Should I just leave these be? Attachments:      |

The flowers won't hurt anything and you can plant everyone of those 'baby spiders' and have plants to share or even sell in a yard sale. Enjoy her. Here in my area of SC they are hardy and I have just left them to grow in the ground. They just spring out stems with babies all year. If they go where I don't want they I just snip them off. |

This is called "spider plant" in English? Interesting. We call it something like "hanging orchid" in Chinese, although it's not really an orchid. I've learned something new. Thank you! |

Interesting. I've heard it called an "airplane" plant? Anyone ever heard it called that? I leave mine in the ground outside. They die back and come back in the spring. |

Mature spider plants have flowers on it. I think they are looking good.

Hey i was curious how long it takes for spiderettes to grow roots so in the process of finding out i came across this website - http://www.ext.nodak.edu/extnews/hortiscope/housep lnts/spider.htm I also came across a question about flowering spider plants and according to ^^ Its not very common and only happens on very mature plants. But ive only had mine a couple of months (rescued it from b&q LOL). Beginning to get impatient waiting for the spiderettes to root but the flowers are very pretty. Also will repotting it when it has baby spiders damage them? |

Spider plants are very easy to grow. Cutting off the baby spiders and potting them at any time is ok. Also, repotting the plant at any time is ok. Very hardy plant. I never knew that 'blooming' was a rarity-mine bloom all the time-never noticed about the newly potted ones though. |

Yes, just don't let it get to the ground in warmer climates, quite an invasive weed! Attachments:  |
