@FullCarrot23 Hi Reid, welcome to Greg! I would recommend putting these in a smaller non-terracotta pot (either plastic or glazed ceramic), but still with drainage 👍🏻 Spider Plants like to be tight in their pots and they don’t like to be dry for too long. Terracotta draws the water out of the soil pretty quickly and make it tough to keep up with watering 💦
I agree with @debbiedo here, terracotta pots dry out too fast. They also act like a sponge for salts and minerals in water, which spider plants can be sensitive to. While they don't like to sit in overly wet soil, they also don't like their soil to stay dry for long, so in a terracotta pot you'd end up needing to water it practically every other day (depending on other conditions like sunlight and humidity).
