3 flowering spider plants that are 10 times easier to grow than pothos, one stem segment can fill a balcony

These 3 flowering spider plants are 10 times easier to grow than pothos. Stick one stem segment in a pot and it grows like crazy, and before you know it, it fills the pot and covers a whole balcony! Hang it on a windowsill and it drapes down like a green "waterfall."

1. Aptenia cordifolia (heartleaf ice plant)

Aptenia cordifolia is a flowering plant that is extremely easy to keep alive and grow. It offers both flowers and foliage, and the best part is that it is edible too.

Propagation is also very simple. Pick out undamaged stems and stick them directly into the potting soil. Stems of any length will work, and they will all take. After that, just keep the soil slightly moist and place it in a ventilated, shaded spot, and it will quickly take root and sprout.

In just a few weeks, Aptenia cordifolia shows explosive growth, growing very lushly, and before you know it, it has covered a whole balcony.

2. Lipstick plant (Aeschynanthus radicans)

The flowers of the lipstick plant look just like lipstick. The calyx is tubular, much like the tubular casing of a lipstick, which is why it is called the "lipstick plant." It is low-maintenance and easy to care for. A loose, fertile sandy loam is best for the growing medium, and drainage should be as good as possible. The growing spot must be cool and ventilated, with about 50%-70% sunlight, and it should be protected from direct strong light.

Propagation method: Select robust, thick branches and cut them into segments of 7-10 cm each, then insert them into loose sandy soil. Maintain appropriate humidity and give about 50-60% sunlight. After about 30-40 days, they will root and become seedlings. Once the root system grows vigorously, transplant them into pots or flower beds for cultivation.

3. Goldfish plant (Nematanthus gregarius)

The flowers of the goldfish plant are orange-red, with a tiny mouth and a big belly, and their shape closely resembles a goldfish. From a distance, they look like goldfish leisurely swimming among green aquatic plants, full of fun and charm.

The goldfish plant is highly adaptable, relatively drought-tolerant, and not particular about soil. It grows best in well-drained, loose, fertile sandy loam. It is not strict about light and generally grows well under medium light conditions, and it also tolerates weak light.

Propagation method: Cut about 10-15 cm of one-year-old branches, keep 3-4 leaves, remove several pairs of small leaves at the base, and insert them into sandy soil. They will root in about 3-4 weeks. Two months after they take, start pinching them back to encourage more branching, which helps produce more flowers. After that, they can be planted into pots.
