I have a spider plant that I believe to be at least 15 years old. How long do they live?

It's a houseplant, it's huge, and has been repotted about five times.

It will live as long as you keep it healthy. Spider plants propate by sending out those little shooters. Even as one part of the plant dies back, the new and younger parts will grow and replace it. It will only die if you don't take care of it. My mother has a spider plant that she has had for probably 25 years... she's actually made several new ones from the shooters off of the original. :)
Reply:I don't even re-pot mine, I've had it for 6 years. I put a shooter into water and it formed an awesome root ball. It would not bloom until I bought a new plant and them it shot a flower and a couple of shooters in the direction of the store bought plant. The one in soil died about a year later, but the water one (plus house dust) still is a live. It just doesn't bloom anymore.
