How is this Spider plant alive?!

[Colm Osiris]

this Spider plant was my late mother's, and i've had it for many years. it's pretty much always looked like this, and i don't know how it manages to stay alive, though i'm very glad it has.

is it ok like it is, is it viable? should i think about repotting it? if so, how should i position it in the new pot?

Hah!! Find it a bigger pot and put all that mess inside it. Plants want to live, ya know, and that one's managed to send nutrients all along those stems to keep it going.

Spider plants are a popular houseplant for a couple reasons: (1) They're pretty and (2) They are one of the hardiest, least fussy plants ever.

Spider plants are a favorite among houseplant enthusiasts for a couple of key reasons. First, their long, arching green leaves with white stripes add a beautiful touch to any indoor space. Second, they're incredibly resilient and low-maintenance. Spider plants thrive in various conditions, tolerate occasional neglect, and are highly adaptable, making them perfect for beginners or anyone with a busy schedule.

I absolutely love spider plants! Their vibrant green leaves with those white stripes add such a fresh vibe to any room. Plus, the fact that they’re so low-maintenance is a huge bonus for someone like me who tends to forget about watering now and then. They’re perfect for beginners or anyone who wants an easy, beautiful plant that doesn’t need constant attention!
