If I have one not looking well I take a few pieces of it and put in a rooting powder and try to stick in an existing plant or start a new one.
I believe living where I am on a 10th floor may make them impossible to bloom.
I currently have 7 plants and one I have to repot. They can get plenty of indirect light if I put the blinds a certain way as I face the east.
I need some help please. Also my cat has started to eat my spider plants.
HELP

They don't have to be outside to bloom, but the cool air does trigger bud formation in the fall. You can also trigger buds by leaving them in a room that stays completely dark overnight (12 hours) beginning in fall. Also allow your plants to become potbound, as they prefer those conditions.
