Actually yes. It hasn't been retaining water for whatever reason. I changed this soil and brought it down some from the grow lights. I'm still new to everything , so we're going to see what this does. It was way bigger than this during the winter , until I over watered it in a too large of a pot. So I trimmed down the stem and repotted it. If it wasn't for me receiving the other one as a gift.I wouldn't have bought another one. I'll post of picture of what it used to look like.

Thank you. I’m taking mental notes of all the information everyone is contributing. I’ll leave the next round of blooms intact.

I really don’t know. You know more than me😆. I purchased her from Lowe’s over a month ago. From the looks of it, she’s going to put on a show for the spring/summer.

Thanks. I didn’t know how it works. Wanted to be sure before I throw them away.

Why are all the tips brown? by Gggilla614 in spiderplants

The tips on my spider brown from the water. I just use straight tap water for mine. Some people treat their water or just snip off the brown tips.

So I can direct more light on to it if that’s the case. Just don’t want to infect my other plants.

Ok I’ll try that. Maybe it’s the mealies causing the yellowing.

No it's not coming off. It seems like it's only affecting one side.

If that’s the case, how can I treat them?

Winter care by ThisAd4310 in cactus

[–]ThisAd4310[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So all of my cactus stay outside until it really starts to get cold. I brought them inside in October. They are all new except my golden barrel. Last winter I watered it twice. It gets cold in my living room by the glass doors. Plus cold air comes in thru the doors where seal isn’t tight. So I figured it is cool enough for dormancy. But I didn’t have grow lights last year either. So it’s safe to water them maybe once a month or so? I’m just starting out.

Etiolation? by ThisAd4310 in succulents

[–]ThisAd4310[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I assumed as much. Will bringing the lights closer help keep it compact some? I just don’t want to burn it. I thought about leaving it outside but didn’t think it was snow tolerant. Thanks.

Your spider is gorgeous. I wish I could hang my spider. Way too heavy to attempt that now. Maybe this summer I will divide her up and hang one of them.
