I stick our spider plants outside along with our Easter and Christmas cactus, during the summer. Leaving spider plants a bit pot bound seems to work for them, in our situation. I do have lots of plastic hanging baskets without soil, so put the plants in their pots (with soil in), inside the empty hanging baskets! Then simply hang them above one of our windows on a rail! This stops slugs\snails getting near them.
They are easy to water if they need it in the UK, as it does tend to rain a bit here, which they seem to enjoy! I give them seaweed fertilizer now and again and basically treat them with what I cal G.H.N. Which is General Horticultural Neglect, and they flourish!
Though they grow in the downstairs bathroom as that is the only real place in a Victorian house they get light!
I do of course give them bigger pots and the little offsets as I call them of spider plants, I grow on and they sell for the church and school fairs, my nieces who go to school sell them and cakes for school and church funds.
Hope this helps.
Regards from a flooded England.
Neil.
