I just bought this spider plant off of FB market place! Does this look like it needs to be repotted? The lady said that when they’re root bound that they produce offshoots more

Yes, she’s going to need a repot. You are going to want to increase the size of the pot by 1 to 2 inches 😊

i wouldn’t repot until it looks like the contents of the pot are mostly roots. spider plants prefer to dry out quickly and lots of airflow, a small pot helps with this. i’ve found keeping them a bit crowded in the pot and infrequent watering (once the soil is totally dry) are key elements for a thriving spider plant. like many houseplants, fungal root rot caused by overwatering is a major killer of indoor spider plants. it is more likely for the soil to stay too wet too long if there is lots of soil around the roots vs it being in a small pot where the moisture can readily be absorbed (ideally within a week or two) since the pot is full of roots.
