Where do I propagate this spider plant? Is there a special way or can I just cut a leaf and put it in water?

Usually you wait for it to grow bigger and send out pups and you cut them off

Spider plants release pups when they’re ready to propagate:)

You should wait till it has babies and with a couple of leafs on them then put in water if it doesn’t have roots if it has roots put it in soil
