Spider growing crazy.

This Spider sits in a pot high above our shower and over the last few months has really done very well and I think It needs dividing. Question is,can it?..if so any tips please.

 

It has also started sending out 'spiderettes'?which I have potted up but are still attached to the parent plant at present.
You can see the new growth on the plant better in this pic.

 

I did warn you, Pal!!!

Yes you can divide it - sharp knife!! But you'll just end up with loads more, unless you can persuade some more GCites they'd love a few..... :rolleyes: :D

 

Do I cut above soil level or dive into the root system and carve into sections? I reckon I can use them as gifts to the out-laws and hope for a Triffid gene to develope :D

 

Do the same as you'd do with your perennials outside - dig up (carefully!) and split down the natural divides, just making sure you've got viable roots on each part. I reckon you could supply your entire family and circle of friends within a year.....

 

Thanks Dendy ....


*Note>.. I really must read my Gardening Encyclopaedia book

 

I don't think I need any! :D

 

And I reckon it's all your fault strongy!!!!!!!! :D Correct?

 

The blame has been properly laid at the correct place......

MF will probably be wanting to send little spiders around the country too... and a couple of others..... Amazing how they're getting around, isn't it?

Thanks Strongy! :D

 

Wit Pal D may try and con you into having macrame baskets next!(if she hasn't already). :D I wonder what other plague I can start offWatch

 

Try that again, Pal, Dendy may try and fob you off with some macrame baskets for your spiders ! :D
I'll see what other plague plants I can come up with. :D

 

She was on about those the other day....now I see why :D

Have you thought about a 'Bottlebrush blight'??

 

Yes, I literally have thousands of seeds ready and waiting!
The Black Death started here so a callistemon plague could be on the way. :D
BTW they don't grow well in macrame baskets. :D :D

 

Blast, and there I was, getting ready to make a ginormous one...... (macrame hanger that is......)

Actually Pal has a defective memory, I tried to fob one off on him at the same time as the plants, months ago! :rolleyes: Odd that nobody wants one.... not even MF - she had one of her own! (Sorry - that wasn't a secret, was it, MF? :D )

BTW Strongy, what were you on when you made that first attempt? Whatever it was I think we could all do with some!
