I love wild and wacky Spider Plants but I love them even more when they produce lots of babies. I got mine from Santa Ynez Gardens and bought it with me when I moved to Tucson. It’s hanging outside right near the front door but the grow pot just wasn’t knocking my socks off. It really has sent a lot more babies in the 2 months that I’ve lived here but I wanted a jazzier decorative pot to put it in. This is 1 way to get more Spider Plant babies, which is all about the pot size and repotting.
Spider Plants can go rather limp and stop producing babies if the conditions aren’t to their liking. Besides lots of light, they also prefer warm temperatures to bring on that flowering which subsequently turns into the babies. You’ll find that your Spider Plant won’t begin to set blooms in the cooler months with less natural light. Another way to get them to produce those blooms and babies, which is the subject of this post and video, is to keep them tight in their pots.

As you can see in the picture, roots appear off the base of the babies. they practically propagate themselves!
