It's enjoying the stay outside and is blooming...all of those will turn into little baby plantlets!! I am running out of friends to give them to....

That's a lovely specimen Eileen!

How on earth are you going to cope when you are overrun with baby spiders!!

Thats a beauty DM, I had to stop keeping them, had babies all over the place...

Hee hee! Mags, since I already have five spider plants, don't need any more, and as I said, have run out of people to foist them on, so will harden myself and lop off that stalk before the little ones start making rootlets! If I let them get to that point it feels like I'm killing the wee things! Which, of course, I am! Too bad you live on the other side of the Pond or I'd pot up some for you.....

Sounds like you could set up your own spider business Eileen!

Actually I don't think I know anyone who's ever bought a spider plant! The things are so prolific that people give them away! Maybe I should put them on Craig's list! (A for sale/buy/giveaway site)

Hehe I bought TWO spider plants

I've even managed to keep them alive for 4 years (I'm notorious for being able to kill even the simplest plants).

No babies yet tho

Lol, I had a friend who managed to kill a snakeplant, the hardiest plant on earth!! Bet if you put the spider plants outside for the Summer they'd make babies!

Hmm I might just have to try that next year

I've managed to kill Cress... and ferns... But oddly enough I *can't* get rid of the ivy, roses and brambles outside no matter how hard I try. The roses make me laugh - everyone says they are hard to grow... I can't kill the ******s!
