My spidies were lookin' pretty ugly this spring when I put them out..........dead leaves, dead babies, etc. After I put them out, watered and fertilized a bit, and they were in the rain............they started looking better. When I took them in this fall and put them in the g'house, pulled out the old leaves and cut off the dead "kids", they looked better. MUCH better, as they had started growing out new "stuff" over summer. I didn't repot; I'll see if that is needed as the winter goes on.
