This is a spider plant I rescued early in the summer. It is going crazy. Do I need to trim off all the babies? Can I let them keep growing?

I’ve always left them on and let them flow down. My spider plant sits up high like you’ve got yours. About the only times I trim them is if the babies get too bushy, if i want to propagate them into a new plant, or if they start to brown up.

You can keep them. Btw the plant likes lots of fertilizer, especially next spring/summer
