My wife who was an avid gardener recently passed away. Im pretty
hopless on all gardening matters,so you might start to get a lot of
questions from me on this group. Anyway my 1st isnt to do with garden
plants but house plants. Years ago my wife attended a well known
stately home and sneakly took a cutting off a spider plant. This soon
grew into a fantastic plant but when she got ill i stupidly fogot to
water it so it dried up. So months later in memory of her i got
another cutting from the same plant,but how do i grow it. For now ive
left it in water overnight as it seems to have a few very small greeny
roots. Should i put it in compost in a pot and if so do i need rooting
compound. Thanks Dave... Oh by the way a friend tells me i can buy a
rose called Angie/Angela is this true and when would it be
available???

Spider plants propagate very easily. If the offset has got roots, just plant it
up, you don't need rooting powder. Keep the compost moist for the first few weeks
while the roots develop.
Spider plants are virtually indestructible - but they do need watering
occasionally! They form thick white tuberous roots that can store lots of water,
and can withstand much neglect. Take care also not to over-water - this is how
most people kill houseplants. If you are not sure, just water it when the leaves
start to look a little limp or have show signs of losing their glossiness.
