Take her out of the pot and cut her roots back about one third. then repot
in same container with new soil. I have done this with many of my large
plants.

An email from my daughter:

I have a spider plant in my office that I have had since college.
Needless to
say, she (her name is Charlotte) is huge! I repotted her in a 14 inch
"super
pot" about 4 years ago, hoping to never repot her again.



Well, Charlotte's leaves are turning yellow, and the roots are coming out
the
bottom. I need to repot her again? Is there any way to stop a plant from
growing? I don't want her to grow any bigger, but don't want her to die
if I
don't repot her.



If I repot her, the pot will be too big for my office. If I bring her
home,
Sienna (her cat) will chew her up!

What should she do?
