Hi Ash,

If you had the chance to accept more Spider pups, it sure would have helped. :)

I find rooting Spider pups in water, root faster. As long as the pup is well and alive, patience is the key.

What size is the pot? A container that's too big could slow down growth. Since your Spider cutting is small, it should be placed in a pot no larger than 2-3".
Once roots are established, pups can be repotted in a 4" container.

Devil's Ivy is one of many common names for Pothos. (Epipremnum.)

The two 4-foot vines with a couple leaves should be cut in sections. 4-5" per section...then rooted...when roots are good-size, place all cuttings in one container. Again, the pot shouldn't be too large.

Foliage that grows far apart usually indicates plant isn't getting enough light.
Although Pothos are considered low-light plants, they do best in bright light. A little direct, 'very little in summer,' won't cause problems.

Once Pothos are rooted and repotted, add some fertililzer, but light is required.

Again, IMO, rooting Pothos in water is faster.

Good luck, Toni

Ash, did the spider plant baby have little bumps on the bottom? Those are where the roots form. As they elongate a bit, they are more ready to take off in soil. It's common to put several babies together in a pot, if you want the look of a lot of leaves.

Pothos wants to grow up a tree, so dappled light in/under one is awesome, if you have access to a handy, obliging tree branch. I hang a lot of plants from porch roof too. If they need a bit more light, I lower the pot with chain, fishing line, wire, coat hanger, macramé (no, I'm not that talented or dedicated,) whatever's handy.

When you snip the tip off of a vine, it has no choice but to make a new tip somewhere between there and where it emerges from the soil.
