I have many babies on my spider plant and while I was watering it today, I wondered if anybody ever tried to start another while it was fastened on to the "mother" plant. This not only applies to this one, but other plants as well that send out long runners. I wondered if you could put some dirt in a plastic bag and attach it somehow to the mother plant. This would apply also to a type of philodendron (chartreuse in color) that I just have not been able to propagate. Would anyone be kind enough to help me with this? I have not been too successful with air layering or stuff like that. Thanks in advance. - Barb
