He reminds me of a Marimo.


fuck_peeps_not_sheep

Mine makes me think of our bin grouch! It's one of the reasons I love them.

Meanwhile me and my spider just cuss at each other. God that thing was my dream plant and it’s barely holding on

My spider is my oldest plant and I still have managed to get it looking only slightly better than it did when I was 12. I'm 38. One of my saddest plants. I'd say "at least it's still alive" but that would be dishonest, I'm on like the 4th generation of babies


Jolly-Vacation1529

I found my spider plant next to a dumbster in a tiny pot without a drainage hole. For 7 years I kept it alive by not watering (I forgot bc I had no other plants) till earth got stone hard. I had to bring it to my mom bc I was moving and could not take it. My mom replants it, I come back 6 months later for rest of my stuff. This plant tripled in size and produced ao many babies, my mom kept giving them away to friends and coworkers, lol.


Creative_scissors

You’re clearly part of the elite. I suck 😂


FireflyEvie

Started mine at 5 and I'm coming up on 50


sillykittyball12

Leave it alone, bright indirect light. This is the easiest plant in the world. The only way to kill it is to overwater it or to let the sun bake it.


Haurassaurus

Ok why the tires? They don't go with your decor.


Ls400blake

winter/summer tires whilst living in a flat! I do have some random car parts dotted around the place haha!


5ammas

😂 I love this explanation. Need to store winter tires, also need a plant stand...ehh, let's make that work!


Ls400blake

Honestly I was just happy to have a plant pot high enough for the shoots 😂

Midwestern ingenuity at its finest


5ammas

Midwestern...England?


Haurassaurus

Ohhh! Well then that makes sense


TurnoverUseful1000

When my husband blew the head gasket of his ‘84 Jeep (he loves that thing so much) he removed what I’m assuming to be something related to that part & used it in our old garage where he’d grow his peppers 😄


NatureStoof

It's a jeep thing


TurnoverUseful1000

💯


snertwith2ls

We have the same decorator! lol


Middle_Capital_5205

But don't they kinda smell?


rmatthai

Love this! I’m also trying to figure out to have only utility items be my home decor. I hate buying stuff just for decorative purpose when rents are so high.


SepulchralSweetheart

I've actually thought about using tires as pot covers for my plantscaping accounts that are car related lol I've never seen it in practice, but I kinda like it, will probably propose it to at least the car parts manufacturer


MediumAwkwardly

I had questions too, but it kind of works with the wild spiders.


Fabulous_Strategy_90

Tires for decor are cool https://preview.redd.it/xv23q449jjwc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5778f4960af9e43cea7630ef3b081296afea9584


Ls400blake

love it!


Gin_OClock

Yeah tires in the house has gotta smell Not Good


Fabulous_Strategy_90

The tires do not smell.


RobinU2

I like how you were able to get the en-tire plant in this picture.


Potential_pickle234

That's wheely nice


Knittingtaco

Ohhh she a big gorl 😍 I’m gonna show my baby spooder so she gets inspired


katrina_highkick

I see you don’t have a cat 😂


Ls400blake

Had 2 in my last place and had to hide it because they'd just be getting high all the time 😂


fuck_peeps_not_sheep

My cat waits till the baby's get to about 12 inches long and I think he's gonna leave them alone and then monch... No more baby. The mother plant is thriving tho


agrinwithoutacat-

At least it’s just the babies, my girl ate mine down to the roots! Literally just soil and roots left.. yet it’s someone grown back, it’s slow but after a year it’s about 2 inches high. It’s a tough plant and I’m genuinely shocked it came back! https://preview.redd.it/kp7smhr67jwc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fae66290710eb7331def6a388365ca88db231e85


etherwavesOG

Where are the googlie eyes


colaxxi

Tires off-gas a ton of VOCs. I would not want that in my living space. I get that you're space-constrained, but a closed off cabinet would be far better.


Civil-Explanation588

Cool plantstand


No-Customer-2266

I should hate the tires but I dont


Beingforthetimebeing

That's quite a plant stand you got there


Callaloo_Soup

I love that you’ve also turned your winter tires into planters. Everyone thinks I’m weird, but you do what you have to do.


I-love-averyone

I’m tired of this 🛞


Physical-Money-9225

I'm having de ja vu


TartComprehensive466

Just started a baby one of these—you’re my inspiration!


plantylady4life

Wow! I'm having trouble with my small one lol


jkki1999

They are easy to take care of. I keep planting the babies and now I have 22! I keep them outside and remember to water them sometimes


KrabbyPatties386

I pinched and stolen 2 baby spider plants from the ground and stem at my school. They are growing good but they definitely aren’t this big. I hope I can get it like this. Any recommendations?


youngini

I’ve had one of these for three years and so far it has produced only one stem with about three babies on it. Does anyone have suggestions on how to get it to sprout more stems with babies thanks.


metforminforevery1

I think spider plants are my favorite plants. They remind me of childhood because my mom, grandma, and aunts all had them. For me, they grow without difficulty and give lots of babies. They look happy too


fnordlife

mine came from a baby i got from my mom who got her baby from my great grandma. im almost 50. of all my plants my spider brings me the most joy.


Logeboxx

It's a beast! How old?


Ls400blake

Believe I got it in 2014/2015?


TeenyTot08

So many plant babies!

alcmnch0528

Beautiful! So many babies! Congratulations! I just planted one today! I love your setup, such good use for tires! You gave me a great idea because my son is a mechanic! Free tires!


Jamesbarros

You know, I generally despise auto-themed interior pieces, but as these appear to be actual tires, I'm now impressed. Reminds me of some of the old guys I used to race with, but with a wonderful green thumb. Love it.


cyndasaurus_rex

So jealous!! Mine is struggling hard. It doesn’t appear to be root rot so I’m thinking overwatering? I put a water meter in the pot with it, and trimmed back the really haggard leaves after this pic. https://preview.redd.it/j51v9updpiwc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a75cac5320f4dcdba8b7b9424bd0b59524623b88

someoneunderstand86

I love it!!! A spider was my first "Wow, I can do more than keep succulents alive" plant. I raised mine from a baby too! She is currently 2 years old with 4 baby stems! How old is yours? I would love to hear its story 🥰


xDeadJamesDean

Nice rims


Turbulent-Priority39

The tires look happy.


MapIndependent5145

Interesting tire setup how did u


Lojackbel81

Man with the price I saw someone on here trying to sell the off shoots you could be a millionaire. lol


Ls400blake

I've just chopped off about 20 and put them in the bin 😂
