Once flowers fade, small spiderettes form at the tips of the long flower stalks. Let them grow until they have visible roots, then you can:
- Plant them in soil
- Place them in water to root first
- Or let them trail from the parent for visual appeal

📚 Scientific Insigh
A 2009 review in The American Journal of Botany on photoperiodic flowering responses confirmed that many houseplants, including spider plants, are short-day plants, meaning reduced daylight in winter months can trigger flowering — especially when paired with other environmental cues like temperature.
🪴 Final Thoughts
Spider plants are not only decorative but also purify indoor air. By learning how to mimic their natural flowering cues, you can enjoy a cascade of beautiful white blooms — and a constant supply of baby plants to share or expand your green space. With just a few adjustments, you’ll soon have a thriving, flowering spider plant that’s both beautiful and bountiful.
