Spider plant babies WAY TO MANY!?

What should I do with them? Some of my friend want some but there are like 40 on each thing. Any ideas?

Spider plant babies WAY TO MANY!?
If your friends want them, put several in one pot and hand them out. (Root them in a glass of water first.) Spider plants like being root-bound, so lots in one pot will work great for them. If you have more baby-filled shoots than friends, by all means, trim off the shoot and toss them.
Reply:You can take your baby spider still attached and bring it down into the soil next to the mother plant using a wire to keep it from popping up out of the soil-then in about a week-snip the cord from the mother plant-kind of like birthing (lol). You can transplant to another area or put into egg carton and give out to your friends-kind of like a friendship plant. I probably have 40 or 50 plants I've gotten from one large mother plant using this method. Good luck
Reply:Just leave them alone or pinch them and toss them if you dont want them.
Reply:take off as many babies as ud like. put them in a glass of water for a couple of weeks. they will root like crazy and then pass them on to friends.=)...
Reply:Once you have taken off the babies, put the parent plant in a larger pot.





The babies develop when the plant is pot bound. It will help not produce babies.
Reply:seperate the runners form ythe plant , pot them up, give them to your freinds
