Re: Spider plant


Ferns can be touchy! The ivy is impossible to kill, you have my sympathy there; it's as bad as bamboo! Are the roses the older, hardier varieties ?....they can be as tough as old boots, unlike the fussy modern varieties......

Re: Spider plant


LOL!!! I had the same problem with spider plants . . . in the end I was brutal and left my mother plants out through winter . . . it took 3 years and a REALLY hard frost (-12) to see them off. But the baby plants became a real problem - I just couldn't cut them off quick enough before new ones grew!!

Lol, I have been ruthless with mine; only have two! But they certainly are handy when you get a burn...

Re: Spider plant


Are you sure you wouldn't like another one, Yola...? I'd be happy to send you a few if it weren't for the plant importation laws.......

They are, but I have about 14 now so it's just getting out of hand and all because I don't have the heart to kill off the babies! How sad is that? And now the babies are having babies!

Re: Spider plant


I'm tempted to pot up the babies (always have a lot of extra pots). put them out on the brick wall by the sidewalk with a "Free" sign, and see what happens.....

I have to admit, I brought some single colour (not the variagated white/green) spider plants back from Tunisia in 1988 . . . they were just SO pretty. They ended up being the most prolific baby-producers of the lot!!

Lol, take a pic when the roses are blooming and we can have a guess what they are! Do they bloom throughout the year, or are they once-blooming? If the latter, probably the older toughies! Why do you want to get rid of them?
