Or you can put it on the shelf

I can't wait for mine to start trailing. I'd say if you want to eventually have it in a hanging pot, repot now so its easier to manage without loosing too many leaves. If you don't really want it to eventually hang then draping over a shelf is pretty too

Ok, thank you! I have one place for a hanging plant and I was going to put my spider plant there so I’ll put her on a shelf.

Yea, the pot she is in now looks roomy enough to leave her in for a good while. 👍
