Green Spider Plant , the smaller pot contains a same variety of Spider Plant called "Chlorophytum c. laxum". .

I do this also with some plants in clay pots, it seems to work better than just watering from the top.
These look very healthy, nice and green!

Hi Marguerite, the weather does get extra dry here as well, and the plants start to wither up and sometimes die. This was an advice given to me by a friend and since I started doing this I've noticed the change in them. The heat here can be unbearable at times and even if the plants do get their partial shade it still can be torturous for them. No I haven't tried repotting the plants with new potting mix, I will have to try that soon too. Thanks for that suggestion:-)

Hi Wohlibuli yes I would agree with you, I sometimes use the left over laundry water from my washing as well(excuse me..but some of us do)as this acts as an insect repellant for the plants. Thanks again.

Unusual to see a totally green one.

Yes I suppose so, as the more common ones are the variegated spider plants. Thanks Hywel.

No excuse necessary Panther I think that is a great idea using wash water. Going into year 4 of drought we need all the ideas we can get to conserve water! I have never heard it would repel pests though,might have to try it!

Yes Wohlibuli, I learnt this when we were going through a drought as well,a decade ago when we lived on the western side of the island(a much drier place). I used to wonder how the gardens of some neighbours homes were still looking lush and healthy, and then found out what their secret was, they used water so sparingly, none went to waste.

I hate to say this...however, I have this green form of spider plant invading my grass and am always mowing it down, I can never get completely rid of it though. Both forms of spider plants are used as ground cover here.

Wow I am amazed, here we are wishing for more of these to have in pots whereas they are growing unnecessarily in your yard.You must have very healthy soil Delonix, but I understand if you don't like them growing around anyway.

Panther,

I like them as hanging potted plants...but not in my yard.

I actually have pretty rocky, shallow, poor soil...however, most plants and
weeds seem to like it. LOL!!! I use lots of steer manure in all my plantings and fertilize.

Oh I see, that explains it better then :-)

It's looking really healthy and happy so whatever you are doing seems to suit it just fine!

Aww thanks Arlene :-)

Thanks Marguerite for the extra tips I will try the sponge idea, sounds better:-)
