Spider Plant Question

I have a spider plant that is root bound. I want to transplant it into a hanging pot, however the plant has so many roots it will not set down in the basket. Can I cut the roots?

When will my spider plant start to shoot runners? My spider plant is 6 months 28 days old.

I have a spider plant I started from a baby off one of my sons plants. It is a year old this month and the plant is very healthy and getting big, yet there are no babies! What am i doing wrong? Been told there is not a female and male plant.

When I had spider plants, the babies would have babies. I would keep them on, and they would grow and grow. Also, to make the mother plant fuller, I would bend a paper clip to use as a stake to keep a baby on top of the soil of the mother plant. Keep it there until it roots and then clip the stem and remove the paper clip. You can also keep the babies attached and stake them with the bent paper clip in a new pot kept close to the mother. Then cut the stem when the baby is fully rooted. In order to do this, place the mother on a table and put all the new pots around so you can easily stake the babies.

I have a spider plant that's about 6 years old. When the babies start to get roots on them you can cut them from the plant and put them in potting soil and they'll grow. Or if your babies don't have roots yet you can root them in water. It takes a week or so for them to get roots and then you can plant them.
I always start my baby spider plants in a small container like a laundry detergent lid. When it gets too big for the lid, transplant it into a bigger container like a small teracotta pot . I usually plant 3 babies into the pot together. Then when the roots start to grow out of the bottom of the pot you can put it in a hanging basket. This takes about a year but you'll have lots of spider plants when you're done. Good luck!
