How do I reduce those bulbs at the roots? I tried repotting but the roots bulbs gotta so big and it wont fit in the pot. Is there a way to remove the bulbs without killing the roots?

Gary,
I have six ‘spider plants or airplane plants’ and was wondering why part of them are solid green and the rest are varigated. All of them are hanging outside in the direct sunlight. I am nnot sure how long I have had them, but several years ago when I was living in Georgia several of the babies would fall off into the dirt on the edge of my front walk. Each year they would come back after being frozen several times over the weather. I almost think they are impossible to kill.
Right now most of mine have lots of flowers but very few babies, will they get more babies when they get more root bound in the pots?
Thanks, John

I was wondering why my spider plane was not producing “babies”; I went to repot the plant and the roots seem over crowded and I thought that this might be the problem.

I have a beuatiful spider plant until…. just a few days ago I noticed many of its leaves are brown and just hanging,,, they don’t look ‘alive’. On the other hand, all the offshoots, look so nice. Am I overwatering it? udnerwatering it – with all this heat? till now, I just watered it when I felt the earth dry inside.
This plant is inside, getting light from a south – direction window and was doing nicely for like two years.
Should I take off the offshoots and replant them? How?
Thank you so much, Zlata
