I’m just curious: Are you going to keep it outside through the winter to see if it survives, or have you done this before and just sharing ? Thanks

one spider plant hanging against the house is doing fine, i guess that’s enough to protect it from the frost so far. another clone away from the house did not survive

That’s a lovely cloche. Can they be bought online?

Do you happen to know someone from Tennesee, by any chance?

It looks lovely with the cloche!
I’ve had one in my garden for around 3 years now, it’s doing well! No cover during winter but it naturally loses most of the leaves (I’d say 60-70%) and then grows bushier in the spring.

I have 3 aspidistra outside – they live outside in pots. I’m in Yorkshire & they have survived for 6 years now.

My husband put my tiny spider plant in the loft while we were cleaning the house prior to putting it up for sale. I remembered it about 3 weeks later and it was still going strong!

i wonder if it would survive the winter this way. my guess is, it all depends on the severity of the coming winter. very cold will kill it. mild it i will survive

That’s cool. I’m going to try that next year.

Last winter I tried spider plants out side and in a cold frame in London. All of them died at the first hard frost.

I had a few outside when we had the -5 to -10 temp a couple of years ago, they turned brown/black and looked dead but remarkably came back to life, this year I have protected most of them with the frost bags and they seem fine, the non protested ones looked a bit withered with -2C temps but the inner stems look good. I wasn’t expecting the plant to survive a winter at all, I just had so many babies I put some outside over summer.
