i’ve potted spider babies that have grown their own spiders within a year. it doesn’t take long at all. a spider plant produces pups readily as long as it feels established in its pot (somewhat rootbound) and is receiving plenty of light

Agreed! 👍 Fertilizer makes it better!

My littlest one took three months to produce 2 tiny babies. I propagated one right back into the 2.5 inch pot with its mother, Little Mama!😆 it’s still connected to the ‘umbilical’ cord. I’m over watering it a bit until the baby takes root.
