Starting a new plant from my spider plant?

do i cut it from one of the 'babies' or new stems?


and do i need to get it to root first before i plant it in some soil?

Starting a new plant from my spider plant?
Most of the time you can just place the spiderette into a new pot with some good quality soil and it will take off.


I used to get a kick out of making the new spider plants but then I found out I had WAY too many spider plants everywhere.





just put the spiderette about halfway buried in the soil and keep the soil wet for a week. After that, normal watering will keep it going.
Reply:The babies will start to send out roots, when you see the roots beginning snip the stem by the baby and just press the baby into the top of the soil - don't bury it deep !
Reply:My spider plant took off and now has spider babies hanging down at least 5 feet from the pot. I was told that to start a baby spider plant is break off the baby and place in a glass or bowl of water to get the roots started, then put them into soil with Miracle Grow in it.
Reply:The plant puts out plantlets, take one that has roots and put in soil and it should grow
