    I use to have Spider plants, as all plants when you water make sure it comes out at the bottom of the plant, and always turn them so they get the light on all sides. Make sure the soil is not too packed so the water can go through. If you pot them yourself, it is always good to have rocks at the bottom of the whole in the pot for proper draining.

    This will be how this plant propagates. Instead of sending out seeds, which it will do on the rare occasion, it will send out runners. These will root, and become its very own plant.

    In many cases, and depending on where the runner originates from, it will lose the variegated outer edge, and the whole new plantlet might be entirely green in color. In some cases, it will retain variegation and keep the light colored edge.

    This is, likely, a fungal infection. These are quite drought tolerant, and can develop an infection from remaining moist for too long without getting an adequate dry out.

    You can treat this the next time that you have to water, which will be after it dries thoroughly. Just make a solution of 1/4 peroxide to 3/4 water. Water this in, and cut off any affected growth. This will only need to be done once, or any other time that this happens in the future.

    The black spots and leaf damage point to insect larvae, caterpillar or slug infestation. The spots are called frass, insect excrement. Slugs do their damage after dark. If your plant is, or has recently been outside, examine it will including the leaf undersides. Here is a good article that covers description and treatment of houseplant pests. https://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheet/common-houseplant-insects-related-pests/

    It is possible that the plants just aren't mature enough, yet, to produce offsets. With proper care, and time, you can be sure that it will. Sometimes Letting the soil dry out completely between waterings will force these offsets as well.

    It depends on your USDA zone, and overall climate. Please include your climate zone, more information about the climate, and any other information, and I will be more than glad to help.
