I planted a spiderette two years ago and have little to show for it. The
plant has remained a bunch of rosettes without long leaves. I've tried
varying light, water, fertilizer, location (including outside last
summer);
but nothing works. Any idea how I can persuade the plant to grow?

I posted a picture of the poor thing on alt.binaries.pictures.gardens,
titled "Spider plant woes - better pix", if you want to look at it.

Bewa my first picture post is too big for easy downloading - look at
the
second one.


Posting it to a website would be better as not everyone gets the binaries on
their news sever. I do not. Are you sure you have a spider plant and not
something else? Mine thrive behind a lace curtain in a sunny south window.
Soil is moist and they're fertilized with Peter's or Miracle Grow once a
week at slightly less than recommended on the packages. Soil is flushed
every other month to remove excess fertilizer salts.
