well, those are nice plants to rescue, and easy to get back to health, although the one i can't remember the name of either (arrow head vine?) doesn't look as bad as i feared. that one is easy to propogate. i just cut the top off of it, plop it in water till you get roots, then put it in the pot with the original. same for the wandering jew. they do very well as companion plants as the wandering jew tends to go down then up, and the other goes up then down!

as for the spider, you can either cut the baby off, put it in a cup of water for a few days then plant it, plant it with it still attached to "mom" then after it gets a new set of leaves or two, seperate it, or just cut it off and plant it outright. i haven't had too much luck with the last one, but the other two work very well for me!

the question i have is this. is the spider solid green, white in the middle, or green in the middle. i have solid green and white in the middle. i'm looking for green in the middle next.

Hi Mary,

Your plant is a Syngonium podophyllum (arrowhead vine or goosefoot).

They do tend to get leggy, especially in reduced light. You have to prune them back regularly. The cuttings root readily in water. New growth will emerge just below where you make the cuts on the stems. Be bold and cut and cut away!

Well as soon as I discover some room you have a deal lol. Enjoy your new addiction.

actually stupe, when the plant is young, the leaves are much smaller. and if you see my earlier post to you, you will discover what i said about rooting it. i have 2 of these cuttings, both have very small leaves by comparison to mary's plant. but, they are getting bigger all the time!
