Plant Propagation

spider plant

17 years ago

Hi i have a spider plant that is producing babies. One of the babies has one leaf out of about 10 leaves that is tube shaped like a straw. I was wondering if there is any way to propagate this plant so all of the leaves it grows will be in this tube shape. thank you

I don't think there is a way to propagate from a single leaf of Chlorophytum. But I would investigate the 'tube' shaped leaf carefully. Are you sure it has not been rolled up by an insect? This there stuff like spider's web inside it? If so unroll it and squash the bug.
