right now i have them doing both....each doing excellent.......i usually start the spiders off in water anyway.....keep the water clean..mist the hanging spiderbabys with water often...like likes of indirect light...
they outgrow the soil so quickly, that water is just fine....
Do spider plants grow better in water or soil?
Soil. It not only holds moisture (No pun intended) but has so much more ability to create a medium for a root system to be nourished in. Water alone is Ok to begin certain plants in rooting, IE: Philodenrens, but even adding nutrients isn't giving the plant it's most natural environment.

Reply:I like the other person start them in water but to get the really great large plants, I put them in large pots. I saw the all green ones at Six Flags and they were huge and hung down over six feet. Just Beautiful...
Reply:They will grow in both for a short period of time. The one in the water won't last as long because it can't draw any nutrients solely from the water. If you keep them in soil they will grow better, fertilize often too. Good luck
Reply:A coarse moist sand is great.
Reply:They are better rooted in a sterilized or pasteurized potting media and kept moist.
