How small are the babies? I've had small ones with no roots at all break off and I just stick them in water. I know it might be better to put them directly in soil, but I use water and never have a problem. They develop roots in no time.

Good luck!

I agree with the idea of trying to put the individual baby plants in some water. Baby spiders will grow roots if the base of the baby plant is in water.

I think that would be a lot more likely to work than putting the stolon in water. I think that the stolon would probably die quickly the way a cut flower would.

Some of the little plants are only a couple of leaves, and a few are about 6 leaves, but all seem very, very small. I'll try planting some, and leaving the very premature ones on the stolen to see what happens.

Thanks guys!

I know this is an ancient thread but wanted to thank you all. I had the same thing happen to two of my stolons with very tiny spiderettes on them and this was the first result with actual relevant advice. I think I'm going to try rooting them in a very shallow tray of very damp soil and see if they survive.

My initial thought was to put the stolon in a vase with water and hope it could continue to nurture them but that doesn't sound like the best plan going forward.

Did putting the broken stolen vase work

did you read any of the replies?
