"Once they put out those tentacles with small plants on the end and you've potted hundreds up so you have not a surface left. Is it ok to cut the others off?
"
But, but, that's their babies!
(I also have loads of the buggers, my sister's fault) |

I've got one, she's called Sharon. I've also got a Yucca called Yeltsin, a Dracaena called Davina, and a Cactus called Colin  |

"How do you get babies off a spider plant?
Mine has loads of the boys growing on the end,
But I don’t know what to do with them "
Youre supposed to plant them in little pots, while theyre still attached to their mother.
But you can just chop them off and bung them in another pot, really |

I put the little ones in water while still attached, when they grew roots I put them in soil. |

Snip them off a place in a small glass of water. They grow like triffids! |

That's what I do, not managed to kill one yet!
Bit like my aspidistra, another indestructible plant. |

"Have this problem but with aloe Vera plants, have loads of them at home and in work"
I've got aloe vera too, it's literally indestructible. If there's a nuclear winter cockroaches and aloe vera will repopulate the earth. |

How odd. Your comment has somehow reminded me of all the Mexican hat plants we had round the house as a kid.
I'd forgotten about them. I used to love planting them in more pots. |

I'll add to that Loganberries. There were some when I moved house. It took me 3 years of squinting every mortal leaf that poked it's nose above ground every week to kill. Oh and chives, chives are romping around my garden self seeding  |
