How long does it take spider plants to mature and produce babies?

I have a spider plant that is over 2 years old in a very small pot. It keeps getting leaves,but no babies. Shouldn't it be sprouting by now? It is very pretty.

Yes they are all right ,keep it in the same pot and let it get thirsty, It will think its going to die and try to reproduce,

I did this and I got more babies than I could take care of and gave them to all my friends . Good luck.
Reply:They should not take too long. The thing is not to re-pot it. It should feel 'pot bound' and then will throw young shoots.



Good luck
Reply:It takes ages - don't repot it, don't feed it and keep it quite dry - it will live but think it needs to reproduce and that will spur it to start on the baby spider plants!
