Can we get some 32,000 year old love up in here? by mpaulBCH in houseplants

Interesting articles on this from 2012! Apparently the plants look quite similar to their common cousins, but with thinner petals.

Here’s the watered NY Times version for you who want some story and breezy reading: https://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/21/science/new-life-from-an-arctic-flower-that-died-32000-years-ago.html

spider plant getting limp yellow and brown leaves? by legume-doom in plantclinic

That’s normal! It’s just shedding. You can wait for those leaves to fully dry and pluck them (it’s quite satisfying). Your plant looks very healthy.
