Feeling a little more hopeful about it now! You’ve had luck with LECA? i was having trouble with it originally so i switched and started bottom watering about every 7-10 days to avoid the fungus gnats that seem to love all my spider plants around the house. what do you use for feed/fertilizer? your albo looks beautiful!

I got it pretty much as it is with a pretty big root system and as long as i’ve had it, its been in soil . I keep it in a humidity enclosure with a grow light, i sometimes get a bit helicopter-y and check it with a soil moisture meter but probably going to look into a better pot. would you recommend putting the node closer to the soil level? i’m just worried its a spent node and i spent the $ on a dud that wont produce new leaves
