After snake Plant this is another plant which is extremely easy to grow at home.

Unlike snake plant , Spider was early entrant in my green family.
That balcony had hooks so had potted it in hanging pot
This photo is which I got from my archive is dated 8-April-2017 almost a decade ago when I had just started my balcony garden journey.
Over period of time as it flourished its babies would hang from all sides and it used to be such a pretty site.

I had planted those baby plants in separate colourful pots.Those pots I hanged on balcony grillsIt was surely a statement at that time.
People down the street would admit my spider babies.
That corner of my old house with spider babies swinging on grill would always cherish.
I thought may be soil was old and plants got old too and died as aging.One year in this new home and now when I retrospect I feel even spades missed hanging on grills and thier old place.
