Question:

I got a spider plant from my sister how do I plant it in dirt?

Its in a vase with water now.

Answer:

I got1 recently from a friend, I also had my clipping in a vase with water. I left it in near a sunny window until it rooted fairly well(1'' roots or so) and then planted it in a small pot. Just be sure2 bury the roots and cover them well with soil, otherwise exposure to light could kill your spidey! Also, always remember2 water a plant after potting or re-potting.
Lol, listen to Jordan, how come your not top contributor yet? Your funny as heck! But um, mary k make sure the soil is reasonably wet when planting your now spider plant. Some drunken folks around here have referred to it as a syder plant. Fill a garden pot up w/ soil and water the dirt, so that every speck of soil, even those small white balls ( what are they, vermiculite? ) are soaked. Wait five minutes, lightly push the soil down in the pot. You'll find that there was less dirt than you thought was previous administered to the garden host, I mean garden pot. :) Depending on how much level is left ( lightly pushing the soil down, eliminates air pockets and improves overall root growth on any plant and makes watering an easier task. ), place your new found, water logged, rooted spider/syder plant on the soil, dig a little depression if you must. When transplanting cuttings, it's a good idea to remind yourself to make sure the roots are pointing downward. If you take to mind, to remember that you will most likely succeed in any future transplanting. Backfill around the spider plant, you just planted. Meaning, pile some dirt to cover up the roots. Water again. Lightly if you can. So, as if not to flood the plant but, to simply water the dirt in, around the roots. A shower spray from a garden hose or a low pressure from the kitchen sink faucet sprayer would work great. Remember to keep your happily, newly planted spider plant's soil moist for a week after transplanting. Remember, it's used to living in water. Not drenched, just content. After its established itself, let the soil dry out before watering again. Oh my. Have fun! Good luck, enjoy. Good night, it's late for me. (:
You take a small pot. Put potting soil in it. Put the plant in. Cover up its roots. Water it. There its now in dirt.
