Give them away. My mother plant made me 2 more. She then gave other people 2 more lol. I don’t need any more babies. 😉

Usually I will pot them in small nursery containers so they establish roots. Once they are healthy / a bit bigger, I’ll usually just give them away for free.

Lots of people are intrigued by keeping plants but don’t often buy them themselves. Ask around - co workers, friends, family. Say hey I have this free plant that’s easy to care for

Do you have cats? I grow spider plant babies in gravel \& water \& call them cat treats. 😸

Spider plants are pet safe, but do have a mildly hallucinogenic effect. That’s why cats like to chew on them so much. 🤪

I do have a cat, but does it hurt the cat..?
