Soil propagating the spider plant babies: In this technique, we need to use another small pot, some potting mix and spiderettes. Spiderettes act just like the seeds. Just plant the spiderette in the new pot, but make sure not to cut the runner. While potting the spiderette in the new pot add potting mix having less weight. Also make sure the pot has a drainage hole in the bottom. After doing that leave the spiderette and watch it grow. After the roots have grown, you can separate the spider plant baby from the main plant by cutting the runner. Water propagation of the spider plant babies: Water propagation of the Spider Plant is also easy as the soil propagation of the Spider plant. You can do it by just putting the Spiderette in a glass of clear water and just wait until the roots grow. After the growth of roots you can plant the new Spider plant baby in a new pot in soil.
