spider plant repreive

I was going to get rid of this spider plant- either compost or freebie it- because I don't like how it droops out of the pot. Found the foliage got better color and stood more upright when I shifted its location again (less light) and reduced watering. Then I noticed there were nubbins of roots coming out along the stems, where they hung over the pot edge.

So I cut them shorter, tucked the stems into the soil and pinned them down with bent paper clips. I think it looks better now. Watering it very sparingly while I wait to see how it does, if those roots will grow out and take hold.
