  I love growing my spider plants. I just learned last year that they can actually bloom! I have had my plant for about 8 years now and growing additional spider plants from it for years. 

  Pictured is a white blooming flower from my spider plant in July. 

It’s easy to grow additional spider plants from one plant. Just collect the little baby plants growing from it- place in some water in a sunny location and in a week or two it starts growing roots. Spider plants also make great gifts with a cute little tag. „Gift Idea“.

I plan on taking one of my plants to school this year and naming it. If it gives off mini plants and can give them to my students to take home at the end of the school year. 

  When they bloom you can also collect seeds from them. 
Spider Plant Germination Time is 12-16 days after sowing them. But, sometimes it can take a month before they sprout. 

7 plants that grow and bloom in water, no need to use soil.

1. Lucky Bamboo: Easy to grow in water, Lucky Bamboo thrives in low light and adds an elegant touch to any room.

2. Pothos: Known for its air-purifying qualities, Pothos grows quickly in water and requires minimal care.

3. Philodendron: This adaptable plant does well in water, offering lush green foliage that enhances indoor spaces.

4. Spider Plant: Spider Plants produce offshoots that can root and grow in water, making them perfect for hydroponic growth.

5. Peace Lily: Peace Lilies bloom beautifully in water and help improve indoor air quality.

6. Chinese Evergreen: With its striking leaves, Chinese Evergreen is easy to grow in water and tolerates low light conditions.

7. Wandering Jew: This vibrant, trailing plant thrives in water and adds a splash of color with its purple and green leaves.

Fidget Blanket (Fummeldecke) Ideas

This will be my first time ever making a fidget blanket- I was so happy to have the opportunity today to gift my Oma a fidget blanket. I love her with all my heart, it just makes me so sad that not much can be done for her while struggling through dementia. She told me it was beautiful and she appeared to like it. I showed her each square and what she can do with it.
