Mine is loaded with babies, hangs in the sun with little water.

But I've never had luck with the babies.* Do you stick them in dirt
or water?

you could arc their stems back into 'mama's' pot. soon the babies wil have
roots. now, give them their own pot (or other growing media - see below
:-) )

Try keeping them on a sunny table or shelf and put each of the babies
on the surface of some sandy potting soil "without" disconnecting
from the mother plant until the runners have rooted.
Just ring the parent plant with cut off styro cups and then when it's
time to cut the cords, your plantlets will be in ready to go
containers for plant sales, gifts or growing till they're ready for a
larger home.

if you let a slow-moving relative sleep nearby, baby 'spider-plants' will
begin to thrive among your relative's nose-hairs.

Chlorophytum, real observations and...

if the tops dry off or if a bird chews the tops off, they'll grow back.

in appropriate location, good tough ground cover with moderate irrigation
and/or deeper shade (trade-off)

I tried tossing (true) seeds in pots, but never saw seedlings.

non-variegated cvs are toughest, but all cvs bleach in lots of sun.

What do you mean babies?

The adventitious plantlets are produced on the flower stems. It the
plant isn't getting enough light to bloom, then you won't get
plantlets. Do you fertilize it? How often do you water?
