Default Spider plant woes

I looked at your pictures. The plant looks healthy but it doesn't look like
my spider plant. One suggestion I'd make is to put that in a much smaller
pot. My spider plant is HUGE and has a waterfall of plantlets six feet down
from the pot and I have it in an 8 inch pot. Some house plants just do
better when they are root bound.

I planted a spiderette two years ago and have little to show for it. The
plant has remained a bunch of rosettes without long leaves. I've tried
varying light, water, fertilizer, location (including outside last
summer);
but nothing works. Any idea how I can persuade the plant to grow?

I posted a picture of the poor thing on alt.binaries.pictures.gardens,
titled "Spider plant woes - better pix", if you want to look at it.

Bewa my first picture post is too big for easy downloading - look at
the
second one.
