I have this thriving Hawaiian spider plant, but do you think it’s best to clip (and propagate) all of the bigger babies from the mama or do you think it’s okay to leave them? I don’t want the little babies to steal all of the nutrients, but it seems to be happy as it is 🤷‍♀️

I got it as a gift! I didn’t know there was such a thing either but I love it!
