Need advice on how to restrict plant spreading

Hi
I have, what I refer to as a ‘spider plant’. It spreads out everywhere and I need to find a way to control it.
I have heard that it’s possible to replant it in a bucket with the bottom cut out, buried flush with the surface. Not sure if that would work, or if it would eventually have a detrimental affect on the plant. My other idea was similar, a plastic ‘ring’ again made from an old bucket, but recessed only 4-6” below ground, to stop the surface spread.

any advice would be greatly appreciated.

sorry I didn't understand what was expected in the poll responses, doesn’t seem to be an option to Not have a poll...

 

Hi again.

I keep my Chlorophytum comosum (Spider Plants) in pots outdoors in shady places..

Spider Plant Care: Gardening Tips For Spider Plants

 

I think planting in a bottomless pot buried to about soil level would work. I've done it with mint in the past. Will only stop roots/stolons from spreading, top growth will still spread and could root.

 

Doesn't look to me like a spider plant (=Chlorophytum, as in link above) but rather a Phalaris known as gardener's garters: https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/details?plantid=5090

I have it here growing in a lined tank filled mostly with gravel + a bit of earth next to my garden pond, together with some ferns. It does spread rapidly so confining it to a bottomless container, in the same way as one do with a mint, sounds to me like a good idea. I would say place that flush with the surface, if you bury it deeper the Phalaris would just grow outwards above the container rim.

Incidentally the Chlorophytums can also be used outside and make good summer bedding plants. Here in London the foliage on mine usually dies off over winter, but the rhizomes underneath survive and sprout again in the spring unless there's prolonged frost.
