Origin
The spider plant is originally from South Africa and was very popular in Victorian-era households. But unlike the place of its origin, it cannot survive full sunlight. The leaves turn brown with too much exposure to the sun and die eventually.
The spider plant is surprisingly low maintenance and does quite well in both soil and water. It is also inexpensive to buy a plant from a nearby nursery or online, and then you can clone the plant at home using these tips on Growing Spider Plants in Water.
Propagating Spider Plant in Water
If you buy a plant from a garden center or a nursery, it’ll come in a pot. From that plant, you can quickly grow multiple ones in the water.
- Cutting the Spiderettes or Plantlets: These are the ‘babies’ the mother plant produces. You can cut them using a clean pair of scissors or a knife.
- Placing the Cuttings: Put them in a jar of water, with only the bottom part submerged.
- Positioning and Growth: Keep Spiderettes upright in a jar or vase. You’ll start to see new roots in 7-14 days.
