Planto, I've never had luck growing spider plants indoors. I've known people here in Florida who use them as outdoor ground cover plants just like the similar looking variegated Liriope. I have a friend whose home is surrounded by tons of huge live oaks and at one time they had Spider Plants as a ground cover at the base of the oak trees which was really pretty. The photo below is from @ 2010 at our old house; Spider plants, Tradescantia and weeds like Virginia Creeper vine, Arrowhead Plant and a bunch of tree seedlings. The Tradescantia and Chlorophytum both were originally in hanging baskets in a Camphor tree in the backyard and when the babies touched the ground they took root so I just left them. The mother plants didn't survive but those in-ground lived for a few years until we had an exceptionally cold winter and they froze.
