A warming and very elegant addition to the home

It all started when I had tried to leave a few vines in water to grow the roots and keep in a glass vase. I had gotten house plants from a family member after asking if I could have a small cut of their plant saplings. I saw my spider plant in the vase was doing well in the vase full of water but I realized that I might be happier if it was potted in a house plant pot. Once I saw that the roots had grown enough in the vase and the spider plant began to grow in the leaves, I took a flower pot that I had gotten from the dollar store for $4.00, a water catchment tray for $1.50, and a small gardening shovel for $4.50 and tried to fill it full of soil. The soil I used was potting soil and it was also from the dollar store for $5.00. Once the pot was filled I moved the soil with the gardening shovel just enough so the spider plants roots would be fully submerged in the soil. Once the top of the plant or the leaves were above the soil I then surrounded the base of the plant with soil and patted around it. I ordered A watering can from amazon for $13.00 to make sure I wouldn't deal with over watering the plant due to the fact the spout would be geared to watering house plants. I watered the plant for about two weeks to a month at the end of every week and I noticed the spider plant had sprouted a new leaf. After about another month or so the spider plant had grown much bigger and I was pretty certain I was successful at transplanting the spider plant. I was very excited when I had realized I had a new potted houseplant that I wouldn't normally bump into at the store for less than an expensive prices let alone if I could find it at a plant nursery in general. The new potted spider plant was a very elegant addition to the home.
