my spider plant makes babies like crazy! i’ve already cut a bunch of them off to propagate, do i have to cut all of them off for proper growth? or can i just leave them until im ready to cut some more off to propagate later on?

Id say unless they're browning, what's the harm in leaving them? Such a beautiful and full plant omg

I personally love the look of a spider plant with all its spider babies attached! It’s so lush 🍃

Once I picked up all the babies by their stems and gathered them into a bundle in the middle. I secured the bundle with a long dowel I found in my kitchen. It looked pretty fancy!

That’s an awesome idea! Reminds me of a toddler with a pony tail on top of their head 🤣

I thought it was a different look for a change.

I used a natural colored twine to tie the babies together. ❤️
