Spider plant babies are the identical offspring of the mother plant. They’re also called offshoots, spiderettes, spiderlings, pups, runners, or plantlets.
You can propagate your spider plants just about any time of the year. But, it’s easiest and quickest to do it during the spring and summer months.
Cut the baby off of the stem as close to the top of the spiderling as you can. Then cut the empty stem back to the base of the mother plant.

Dividing spider plants is another common way to propagate them, and the best option if your plant doesn’t have any offshoots.
