overly rootbound spiderplant - April 12th, 2006 at 08:19 AM
i know spiders love to be rootbound, but these roots were as thick as my thumbs and there was NO dirt left in the pot! i just bought this plant and at first i repotted it into a bigger pot but then it was too heavy to be hung so its in a stand instead.
the tips of the some of the leaves were turning yellow than dying and some leaves were turning brown at the tips--- but i dont think i was over/under watering it. i figured it didnt like the roomy pot. so i took it out and hacked 2/3 of the roots off and stuck it back in the smaller pot. was that okay??? it is still healthy looking other than random leaves turning.
advice??
