  • Welcome to my channel, my name is Elisa Liebelt. This channel captures the life of our unschooling family as we move and learn through the world. I'm also a yoga instructor and I share my experience with my yoga practice as well my love of all things plants! Our family is also vegan and we will be sharing recipes and ideas for raising a vegan family.

    VIDEO DESCRIPTION HERE
    This is a video I would have liked to have watched as I began collecting spider plants. I discuss the different types of spider plants as well as some of the relatives. I chat about lighting, propagation, fertilizing and watering. These are some of my very favorite plants and I hope you enjoy this video.

    Hi from Vancouver BC. I have 4 of the mandarin (fireflash) plants. I discovered this year that the 3 older ones that are on my closed in deck had flowered with a big (2-4”) rather ugly flower. I left them on the plants and let the seed pods on the flower dry up. When they became almost black I started shaking them onto paper and discovered hundreds of tiny seeds. I haven’t started any seeds yet because I thought I’d wait til spring to give them a better chance. So, if you can, let your fireflash plants get older and a bit leggy and they will reward you! Thanks for the video!

    Thank you for the info. I have always had at least 1 spider plant in my plant collection. I did purchase a mandarin spider plant, not knowing that it was a spin off of the spider plant. I love the orange center. I did almost kill one by giving it full sunlight and all I had was stubs. I have cut it down, so just the orange was left, and planted in with my new one, and I believe it will be a vet full plant. I needed growing tips which I got from your vast knowledge. So thanks. Blessings.

    I have been upping my spider plant game. I agree they are overlooked! I know they are basic, but the huge ones are MAJESTIC! I picked up an 8" pot with two large solid green ones at a church rummage sale. I decided to repot it into two. It was solid root blobs and instead of soil, it was potted in what looked like straight sand. The poor plant! I gave it some good potting mix and compost and I bet both look amazing in a month. I can't believe they looked as reasonable as they did in SAND. Proof you can't kill these things - unless you forget them outside and they freeze.

My collection is the European version, but I heard that USA ppl can, with some research, get their hands on every one nowadays. Please come over, comment and share your thoughts when it is up. This is one by far one of the most neglected house plants when it comes to cultivar knowledge...
