Okay… so I propagated a mini spider plant from the bigger one in the back. Wondering if the baby needs a smaller pot. Thoughts?

Yeah, it might need a smaller pot. Usually in the wild, when the plant has lots of room it will stop focusing on foliage growth (which is the pretty part) and focus on root growth, so it can dominate an area. Not technically bad, but you might not see some growth for a while on the foliage 😁.

Yes it needs a smaller pot, if the pot is to big then it will put all its energy into growing roots so if you want more foliage then you should probably downsize the pot.
