- In this video I share with you how to care for the most common houseplant - the spider plant aka "Chlorophytum Comosum". I reveal tips on how to get perfectly shiny leaves with no brown tips.These plants can look more impressive than your variegated monsteras if you are patient enough to wait for a pot full of hanging pups (pictures inserted in the video). I also share styling tips with 70s bohemian planters and macrames to pay homage to their status as the iconic 70s houseplants.

When my dog passed away one year ago, I used his former plastic food bowl, drilled some drainage holes and planted a spider plant pup as a homage to his memory, and nowdays it's a beautiful plant that keeps growing and growing. Greetings from México (:
And in my case... My dog has chewed my spider plant... Now am keeping it safely at a height
Aww 😍
My arm hair is standing. My dogs are 13 years old this year so I know the beauty of raising them and how they hold a special place in our hearts forever. Thank you for the share. 💚💚💚

How sweet
Quick tip! If you let your spider plant become pot bound in a small pot and don't re-pot it, it will produce a lot of babies. Whereas if you re-pot the plant it will focus more on growing, so If you want a lot of babies just leave it in it's pot :)
😀😀
Thanks you for sharing 🙏🙏
"Please don't perm your spider plants." 😂 Love the captions!
😅😂
Yas! Everyone is getting tired of the rare plant hype. I LOVE how people are turning to common houseplants for new inspiration. I agree, how you style any plant can make it more spectacular. I saw a giant golden pothos in a plant shop and it stopped me in my tracks. It made me realize the potential of this often overlooked plant. Now I am trying to grow the biggest golden pothos, because they are truly amazing looking.
Thanks for the great content!
Speaking of golden pothos they can develop huge leaves if allowed to climb!! Im working on that!
OMG, I never thought there was such thing like a SPIDER PLANT ENTHUSIAST!
And I'm glad I stumbled on your channel 😁
Bought myself a spider plant about 2 months ago.
She was there. All alone in the corner of plant store, while other plants were in groups.
She was dying with dry pale leaves, while other were green and full of vitality.
Brought her home simply because she was dirt cheap -- only 10K (while she was adult with a plantlet)!
Now she's green and bigger, with total 3 long children (yes, that how I call the plantlets 😁)
You can call me a proud grandparent ✌
Whoaaaa that a cool story! It feels nice to rescue something that really needed it! Proud of you
Hi did you cut off the yellow pale leaves?
Late to this video but love your presentation. This is the only few video that prefers to keep the pups. Every other CZcamsr is in a hurry to cut off the pups to propagate.
I recently got a spider plant from Muji of all places. It is being grown in Pafcal and within a month it grew 20+ pups, but they sprout in these super long stems and a lot thicker. If you lift it up they don’t hang but instead levitate in midair. But the rate of growth is definitely a sight to behold.
😀😀
Great tips to help me grow my. Spider plant better..
I love my spider plants. I put 8 of them around my wraparound porch in PA every summer, bring them inside in the fall to overwinter and then put them out again the next summer. Been doing that for about 15 years. I occasionally root and sell some of the pups, too.
I live in Florida, and all mine are actually plucked from my yard! I recently traded for some solid green spider plants and I’m planning to put some in pots to hang around the back of my home where the variegated ones live wild. Going to be propping a bunch of these for the ground as well.
Your home is beautiful. The view outside your window and your love of growing and styling indoor plants must make for a stunning tropical oasis to relax in.
Using a hand-woven handbag is BRILLIANT! It’s what caught my eye and I was quite surprised to find out it was a bag! Love it!
This purify the air also, remove toxins. I love the spider plant revival, my 2 have no babies yet.
Love it, Sean! I'm propagating my first spider plant pups now. Got 6 of them in water with good roots. Omg, that giant one looked amazing!!
I love spider plants! They're my favorite "basic" plant. They remind me of the 70s and I love the pups as well. They look so cool in a hanging baskets with the babies.
HI Sean.. Everytime I watched your videos you inspired me a lot of how to care all of the plants.. Stay safe and healthy 🙏
Thank you so much. Hope you and your plants (and family) are happy and safe too ☺️
Love listening to the Jazz music in the background! Great use of the wicker handbag also! I enjoy the look of spider plants, a very ‘70’s vibe! ✌️
Thank youu 🙏🏽
Someone gifted me a couple all green spider plant pups couple years ago and I kept thinking are they just grass? We neglected them the last 2 years and finally started taking care of them few months ago and now they’re growing pups! So cute
Those a truly beautiful Spiders....i love Spider plant so much...💚💚💚
Thank you for the good tips...
I love the bonnie spider plant. Gives me the crazy hair day vibes all the time but yet still looks like a center piece in my room
I love these plants! my aunt gave my family one very small spider plant in 2012 and it has grown into a mother plant and had so many pods! we now have about 30 different plants and they all have pods growing from them! I have planted them all across my yard and they look so good and grow so fast in the soil they are in! one time we moved and weren't able to water them for about 3 months and survived so well and still looked so good with many pods on it! they have a very big sentimental value to them to us because my aunt gave them to us the first time we met her son but sadly he ended up passing away 2 years later so I now plant them everywhere in memory of him, and all around his memorial sights ❤️❤️❤️
Deepest condolences. Amazing how plants can outlive us and become someone else heirloom to cherish and hold on to
Your house is HUGE! 🐒🐒🐒 Thanks for sharing the part about the plant turning light green when it's thirsty. That's what's happening to my plant now!!!
I have a spider plant now so I’m back to watch again.
😀😀
Love the crochet pot with the beads and shells.
This plant grows wild around my house here in northern California. I've propagated babies and have many potted both inside and outside. Easy plant to care for
Lucky
This is exactly why I am so glad i have notifications. My son bought me a spider plant about 2 weeks ago and i been waiting to figure out what to do with it so thanks for all your amazing ideas. It was extremely wet when i got it so i had to cut of some leafs and the brown tips. In fact I'm still cutting off the brown tips 😞 thank you for sharing. Oh by-the-way i don't think any1 thinks you are strange because you're excited to talk about a spider plant so thanks again 💚🌿🌵
Whoaaa give your plant some time to recover and give it proper care. It should put out healthy leaves and pups!
Another great video, thank you!
I propagate my babies while they’re still attached to the momma. I just place the pups in soil and wait for them to root before detaching.
Oooo thats smart. And they root so quickly!
Omg. My favorite plants! I have so many around the house, from regular variegated, to reverse variegated, Bonnie, all green and Hawaiian. And now I have soooooooo many more because of how prolific they are at tossing out those pups! I can’t wait to see your big ass spiders someday 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💚💚💚💚
Though it's so common. Yet it's so easy to grow. I have them everywhere in my garden. They're growing wild, spreading by the pups like a walking plants, 😆 😂 😆
If you pot them up in a nice pot they actually look really nice 😀
Love spider plants easy growing lots of them in my backyard some in the pots too, like your plants collection 👌
Thank you so much 😌
Love the macrame hanging rope planter by the blinds.
OOOh, I love them! they're easy to care, clean the air, the water, and give beautiful babies! (= I have a big pot with spider plant and tradescantia purple heart.. it looks amazing, great colors together... Tx for this video, buddy. tc.
Love my old school spider plants. I have several of them.
I have an all green spider plant. Had it for 2 tears and it finally started producing pups this summer. Really excites. Also have the green in the middle variegation and the white in the middle. This one is a baby that i recived from a friend. No pups yet.
I love my spider plants, very easy care.
OMG I've been gardening for 50 yrs and never noticed the difference in variegation!!!! DUH! LOL A seller on Ebay sent me 3 tiny pups with another plant, one didn't make it but I now have two. Haven't had them for years. They are very underappreciated. I was also at a local nursery and there was the all green type sitting all alone, neglected, you could tell he was lonely ......so of course I brought him home!! Nice video to help remind us about the simple beauty of all plants and we don't always have to spend a lot of money. Spider plants are classic!
I have had them and did not notice the difference in the variegations either 😂😂 DUH is right 🙄🙄💚
Whoa Im proud of you for bringing the all green one home! That is an act of kindness, hopefully with good rewards with pups to share in the future!
🙈🙈🙈
@@onlyplants I think us plant people are empathetic by nature. Rescuing plants, animals, I take spiders outside and let them go! LOL But NOT the giant roaches that fly............all over FL!!! haha
Very creative the way you had your plant inside the basket, it's looks cool, Shawn.
Thank you so much
woww it's my fave especially the bonnie one with the pups 😍
Their pups are curly too 🤭 So cute
Luv, luv, LUV Spider Plants! I grow the solid green form. It seems 2 produce babies faster than the variegated varieties. I hav gifted them to several of my other plant loving friends🌱🌱
I have an all green as well. Took 2 tears for my first oyo. I have 9 growing now. So excited. But my green in the middle variegation produces lots of pups. They were both gifted to me at the same time and they were rooted leaves.i know, not supposed to be possible but my friend works wonders. Lol
Thanks for the nice vid on the humble spiderplant. Really brings back memories of the houseplants from the 70s era when there were fewer varieties but people seemed to treasure these simple beauties more. I was inspired to start a a small (re)collection of what I'll call 'nostalgia houseplants' that were commonly grown and delighted houseplant enthusiasts back in the day (60s-80s). And spiderplants are definitely in this list. Off the cuff, I can mention a few other nostalgic plants from memory. Dieffenbachia, maidenhair ferns, classic Japanese bamboo (draceana surculosa), cute Golden Ball cactus, Alocasia Amazonica (horseface plant), crystal anthurium, devils backbone or zigzag plant (pedilanthus??), green sansevieria hahnii, and the list goes on 😁. Wish I could grow them all again but thus not possible due to space constraints.
Whoaaaa interesting list, a lot of these plants are gaining populatity again.
@@onlyplants Yup they're popular again and new plant collectors are beginning to collect and enjoy these vintage houseplants from long ago. From before the internet age and buying plants online was possible 😊😁
Great video...I like the ones with the white on the outside too
Lovely content, brings back the 70s vibe. I'm in my 50s and I do remember making macrame plant holders back then but not the spider plant🤔 But where I live now, there's an explosion of spider plants everywhere you go and affordable as well. So definitely the next plant to get for my collection, thank you for the short trip down memory lane😊
Whoa thank you. They need to make a comeback especially in times of rare aroid and hoya craze where we lost our ways of why we love plants to begin with.
Cool! I'm in my 60's and I certainly made a lot of macrame hangers!!! And belts, and purses, etc. LOL
I made so many macrame projects in the 70’s too! I got this curly spider plant a couple years ago, because I knew it would be easy to take care of. Who knew houseplants are addicting?😹
I had confused pandanus near my home with spider plant, I realized the difference only after I brought a cutting of it at home and placed next to real spider plant at home
Love your content and I've been so shoooked with your channel lately.
Thank you so much Robin! Glad we are connected
I have several varieties of spider plants! I love them so much!!
They make such good companions. 😌
Britt ex patt here thailand , dicoverd this vlog purely by accident ... i bought 4 of these just a month ago and now i know what to expect and even there common name WELL DONE SIR ! i have myself done a recent vlog on spanish moss & tilandsias with my snail shell ideas i hope you take a peek .
Whoaaa Thailand. I would go broke if I lived there!
Of course i like your content as well, and i love the way you setting up the frame, cozy👌🏽👌🏽
More content on this frame will be nice😬🤗
Thank you so much 👻
Nice video friend, thanks for sharing, the spider plants are very interesting 👍
I think I’ve binge watched all your videos in like a day LOL! I love your shopping videos although it does make me jealous😭
Whoa thank you so much 😌
I do have a mama spiderplant. propagated the babies to share. I erally enjoy your videos, so informative and yet visual attractive. I wish I can come over to admire your plants.
Thank you so much. ❤️
Ty for ur video I loved the idea with the purse I’m always looking for some way to display my plants..I actually have one in a white soup terrine that was my grandmothers it was just collecting dust in garage lol I have quite a few spiders & one is so big & beautiful like ur friends on video & tons of pups so I will be making more plants..thanks again❤
❤️❤️
Using handbag goshhhhhh thanks i have lots of that it gives me lot ideas on how to style them
This is so fun, I bought a small spider plant in the summer and it thrived in the spot I put it. So after a while it put out like ten stems!!! It’s all huge! I don’t know what to do hahaha 😅
wow so beautiful i love hanging plant you always make me to get some plant! haha
so.. thank you!
Haha you are welcome 🐸💚
Your Spider Plants are beautiful... very cool throwback to the 70s.
Fyi Spider Plants are among groups of plants to avoid by people with allergies and/or asthma (along with Ferns, Juniper- & Cedar Bonsai, Figs, male Palms & Yuccas, African Violets, etc.), maybe good to know when gifting them.
Whoa interesting..
The most common plant yet so beautiful, their lushness and undemanding character makes me fall for them. I’m a proud owner of three types of spider plants 😅 .
Oh and also,they are the easiest one to grow, I would like to suggest this plant to new plant parents💚
Also excellent gifts to bring to people when we can visit our friends and families again 🤓
I’m loving the simple plants can’t wait to get this
Hello spider easy to take you can put outside too I love the curly one in the small one they are stunning thank you for sharing watching from Canada 🌿🌱🌱💚💚
Yeah someone mentioned they can take full sun! Which makes a lot of sense
Thanks Sean, lots of good information!
🙌🏻
I like you! I'm going to go watch all your other videos now.
Whoaaa thank you 😀
Hey Sean. Rewatching this coz got a new spiderplant. Congrats on reaching 100K!!! - 💚💚💚 from one of your avid100K subscribers. 😻
Thank youuu
This and the cast iron plant! I have both and I love them both. Very 70’s.
I love the cast iron plant too they are so classic and indestructuble.
@@onlyplants I literally can't tell you the l watered mine, they're right up there with ZZ plants, except if you overwater a cast iron plant it won't rot on you! I'm pretty heavy handed with my watering. I got mine from a neighbors backyard. I wish I had gotten more!
Keep the Aspidistra Flying!
I LOVE aspidistra!!!
i had no idea they were popular in the 70s. i love them common or not esp the Bonnie. So fun and cool. i have two and trying to make room for one more
lara ng: I thought they got popular in the 80’s, for cleaning the air inside? I have a Bonnie, too, never knew its name before!
beautiful home
Thank you I enjoyed this one!! I currently only have one spider plant looking forward to it growing pups that can hang from the Macrame hanger.
Sweet! 👻
Love spider plants! I have a solid green one that is over 30 years old. Every few years I cut off all the pups, empty the soil and really hack at it. Normally it would kill a plant but it keeps mine thriving.
30 years old! Put that thing in a museum lol. It must be a precious heirloom. Hope you manage to share it with people so that it can live on!
@@onlyplants It is. My mother got it before I was born and gave it to me when I moved out. Now my kids will get pieces of it when they move out.
i love that you just love all plants
Whoaaaa thats interesting. Not everyone have success growing them in low light. 🙈
@@onlyplants hahaha are you talking from experience? :D
Please please give your plants the sunlight that it craves it’s not a mushroom
come on be nice
@@MsLouisVee with respect, they do get sunlight, the door is always open, and they are thriving, the first sign of them not doing that, i would place them somewhere else! :) have a lovely day!
Bought my first one about 10 years ago (longer actually) and had been looking for a couple years for one like my grandma had but couldn't find it. Now they are everywhere. I wanted the plain green, variegated and reverse variegated. Your favorite with the white on the outside is not comosum though and doesnt grow long trailer with pups. Still nice to fill out the large pot of a tree indoors so I dont have all that bare soil but I was low on small pot space. LOVE those windows you lucky leaf you.
Whoaa thank you for the knowledge. I was wondering why it wasnt giving me pups!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁💖 I have a green one, which was a pup from a colleague's large plant. It took time to take off, but it is growing well now. It's not very large, but it seems healthy, and I'm hopeful that it will fill out and produce its own offspring.
Nice... hope it will give plentiful pups soon. It will look so priceless!
I just adore the curly spider I would love to purchase one of them because I have naturally curly hair and I just recently found out from you when you did the Singapore tour. So now I'm on the hunt for 1 😊
Yaye, the curly one is commonly called the Bonnie
Yes I remember you mentioned that in your tour. I listened to every word you said. Since I've started watching you I've been learning a lot. When I lived in the forest I had a beautiful carnivorous garden it was very ideal for them. The plants here in Northern Calif. are very expensive and they're not big they're very small and chintzy 😔. I tried buying a few plants from Amazon. But the delivery drivers are horrible when it comes to delivering plants. My aloe vera was delivered upside down. 😣 So I had to nurse her back. She is making a slow recovery.
Hai kak... just addopted my 4th spider plants. Love the foliages that look like a messy hair.
Shawn you have a lots of awesome spider plants!🥰💚💚💚
Thank you 💚🐸
Anytime! Stay connecting from Japan💚💚💚😃

Way cool... A dear friend of mine has 2 full green spider plants too and we live in the desert in slc utah usa
Thats amazing! Plants to share and the story/relationship that is build around this is so powerful.
Nice, hope he/she gave you a cutting 😆
I have a Bonnie spider plant, it’s so lovely!
Running your fingers into the leaves to style and tease them is so joyful!
l love this plant so much thanks bro about this video
Thank youu 😌❤️
Through all this super fancy and mainstream plants hype, this is the other reason why you're respected: authenticity. Pure love love loving plants! "Cheap" plant still looks as a glorious plants. As it is.. Yash, don't perm it LOL
Haha thank you 🙈
No matter what everyone says! I do love my spider, Boston fern, and pothos plants!
Ferns are my favorite and now i know why 😯 its because i had them in my 70s and early 80s 😂😂😂
I love them too! 💚
i have 3 spider plants that i take care of. did i take them from my school? yes. was my school doing to throw away the pups like they do every year? yes. so i like to think of it as a recuse operation that i paid for in the form of my tuition ✨
Haha. Be sure to share some of your future pups along too especially if this plant have brought you joy and comfort!
Your sun room is nice as well as your spider plants.
Thank you 💚🙋🏻♀️
My favorite plant.... so forgiving, so beautiful, so giving of her pups🌿❤️
Everyone should have at least one of these... they make very good lifelong companions
wow nice video! You´re looking so sympathetic. Greetings from Germany👋
Thank you. Sending love back to Germany ❤️
Just bought 3 curly spiders plants at my local supermarket, one has 3 pups on already. Cant wait for them to get bushier in spring and summer. Bonnie's they are called.
Bonnies are so pretty 😀
I have mine in hanging baskets and hang the basket under the branch of the tress in my yard and they seem to enjoy the filtered light :)
Whoaaa thats one happy spider plant.
They love to go outside for a summer vacation!
У меня тоже есть хлорофитумы. Я их люблю. Растут пышными кустами, тоже обрастают детками. Но у вас хлорофитумы пышнее и сочнее, как я заметила. Всё-таки климат (ваше солнце: ваш спектр света играют большую роль для растений.
👋😊👍
My spider plant is still a young adult, not a mommy yet lol, but it’s super bushy and made so many flowers this year! I’m going to cut them off tomorrow since is almost the end of the season to see if it’s going to push some new leaves last minute. The bonny variety is in my wishlist and I think I’m going to get one before it gets too cold 🤑
Ooo my feeling is that they start giving pups after they flower. Give them a tight pot to encourage pups!
You have a lovely home. Please do a home tour. Watching your vlogs from Manila, Philippines ❤️😊
Thank you so much. 🐸
My Bonnie isn’t doing well- brown tips even though soil isn’t dry. I guess need to change the nursery soil and put a better soil mix there :( lovely to see that yours is doing so well!!!
It may have to do with minerals in tap water... and I did notice that sometimes when i overwater the leaves can turn into brown mush instead of yellow.
Nice to see the lowly exalted.
Thank youu
I luv spider plants I just got two babies finally after years of looking for one I understand ur excitement but clueless on care I just know I need to do it right so I can get my plants big and beautiful what soil do they need ps that hanging basket and the plant hanging out is beautiful
😀😀
I have both types of airplane plant variegations , and the white edged / green center variety is a much more aggressive grower in the garden than its counterpart. It’s pups quickly take root and start taking over their area. The green edged / white center variety won’t take over an area unless you encourage it.
For some reason the spider plant is difficult for me. I have no idea why but I am not giving up! Thanks for the tips ☺️ Ahhhh.... to have windows like yours 😍
Yeahhh dont give up. The trick is watering I think.
Hey Sean,yours are beautiful Indeed🍃🌱😉
Thank you Celine. I love having them around!
I have hundreds and hundreds of curly spider plants as I love them so much. Some of mine are MASSIVE
Whoaa and the curly babies are so dang cute 😆
Lovely content 🌿
Thank youu 🙏🏽
Thank you.
🙏🏽🙏🏽
I love spider plants and I also have at my house.Five kind of spider plants.
I have this lust plant lovely
😀😀
Crazy ass spider mama?🤣 they were popular in the 70s I always thought they were kind of ugly🤷🏻♀️ I should give it a try.
I think have to give really cool hanging planters so they can look cool! 😅
Hi, I just saw your video about "fungus gnats", my indoor plants are infected of them. I will try your method on my next watering. Thank you.
Good luck. And dont water your plants too frequently... fungus gnats are sign of overwatering
I like your curly spider plant sir hehe
I love it too. I feel like getting more... haha
I love spider plants :)
