For a long time my spider plant sent out a lot of baby plants and I kept removing and potting them with success. But, it hasn't sent out babies in *years*. I am pretty sure the plant is getting the same type of attention it was before.
Can you cut them off to a point of never getting anymore?
Why would they all of a sudden stop sending out shoots?
Thank you!

New babies should appear a short while after they resprout

Try cutting the mother plant or the babies way back? It hasn't produced babies in years and I think I would kill it if I cut all the leaves off the main plant!
Please explain! THanks

Jen,
When was the last time you repotted? How much light does your spider receive?

My spider was repotted maybe two years ago and right now it receives an average amount of indirect light. It looks healthy enough and doesn't even have brown edges!
Thanks!

Jen, Check the pot for soil. Mine seems to need repotting more often as it gets older. The last time I had to repot it, there was almost no soil left in the pot. I divided it into two pots and both are still producing babies. Good Luck!
