Hmmm, ecrane3, would a spider plant be a "walker?" ie. is the "plantlet" at the end of the "plantlet leg" (huh?!) a flower, thus qualifying as a flower weighing down the stalk and taking root a bit away from the plant? Or is the spider plant's plantlet an "already baby?"

I would never have imagined, having had spider plants as indoor plants for so many years, that a single indoor spider plant transplanted outdoors one summer could take up so much space in my patio flowerbed with numerous winters since then. This little bit of bed is across 2 1/2 feet of concrete pavers, about 5 feet away from the original plant "around the corner." It was originally covered in the ajuga you see amongst the adolescents, which are firmly rooted in the soil. I watched it happen with pleasure and treasure the outcome. Talk about walking!
