Help with spider plant, please!

Hello! I am hoping someone might be able to offer me advice. I have a beautiful, healthy spider plant which is making babies right and left. The thing is that the babies aren't sprouting "air roots" (as I've seen on spider plants that are for sale in gardening stores) despite being close to six months old!

Is there anything I can do to encourage the babies to grow roots so that I can separate them from Mom and put them in their own pots? If not, should I put them in dirt while they're still connected to Mom and they will automatically sprout roots? Or is it safe to disconnect them and plant them without visible roots? I don't want to kill the babies!

Thank you in advance for any ideas you can give me! I appreciate it. Sincerely, Lindsey :)
