Spider plants are beautiful and bushy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But do these spider plants need deep pots?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Turns out, the answer is more complicated than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each spider plant<\/a> is different.<\/strong> They grow at varying rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some spider plants need to be moved to a larger pot. Others prefer to be in their current pots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are also pots with different materials, ranging from plastic to metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each of these pots has its pros and cons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, do spider plants like deep or shallow pots?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, read more to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n You may expect a straightforward answer, but it is not that simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like we said earlier, it really depends on your spider plant.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Spider plants prefer pots where their roots can fill the entire soil.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n They like pots that are slightly bigger than their total root volume, also known as the root ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moving your spider plant to a larger pot allows it to grow larger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are unsure that your spider plant needs<\/a> to be repotted, look for these signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spider plant roots keep growing even when pot-bound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pot-bound is when plant roots outgrow their pots.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If your spider plant is pot-bound, you will see roots sticking out from the bottom holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another sign to look for is roots circling the bottom of the pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, take your spider plant out of its pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you see roots circling the bottom, it is time to change to a larger pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A more obvious sign is roots protruding from the topsoil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When no more space exists for roots to grow, they will grow upward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, if the soil is drying too quickly, that is a sign your spider plant<\/a> needs repotting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And, if you find your spider plant no longer growing, it is also a sign to repot your plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spider plants do not mind being in either deep or shallow pots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your spider plant will happily grow as long as its roots remain within the pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But what about small or big pots?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nDo spider plants like deep or shallow pots?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
