| Back in April, I replanted my Hawaiian Spider Plant and put it outside on my screened in porch. Since then, it's sorta gone crazy, and I'm wondering if I should repot it again, or wait.
This was it in April, the one in the green pot:
This is it now, the plant in the same green pot, in the front: (My pug, Miss Abby stepped in at the last moment)
Its just sorta falling over in the pot:
The pretty flowers that have bloomed in the last few days:

| It doesn't appear to me as if it would be in need of repotting at all. Especially since it was stepped up just this past April. I wouldn't repot until I saw roots at the top of the soil. |

| I agree. And you could gradually move it into more sun. |

| Abi..I agree and disagree with the above posters. :) What size are the pots? Reasons not to repot. When a Spider is semi-rootbound, off-shoots produce more and faster. Reasons to repot. Roots of a Spider are quite thick..so thick, a few of mine cracked containers. One thing about Spiders, unlike most plants that are said to be repotted (only) in spring, Spiders can be repotted throughout the year. Most of my Spiders produce off-shoots late fall to winter..I don't know if Spiders go dormant. Seems they grow throughout the seasons. Foliage included. How many days/weeks does soil take to dry? If it dries daily, to the point you have to water every day, then I'd repot. If soil stays wet 5-6 days or more, 'considering pot size, looks 4-5"' then wait. And/or, use a well-draining soil. It's impossible guessing the size of a pot through pictures. Especially closeups. PS: If the rootball doesn't fill the pot, it's best to wait. Toni |

| Ok, thanks! I will wait to repot. I'm going to try to find a way to hang it I think. I can't remember what size pot it's in .. 4-5" sounds about right though. It's not very big. And it gets watered about once a week or so |
