what to do with house plant cuttings?

I have about 6+ money plant cuttings, 4 + busy lizzies, a million Spider plants (I love my spider plant)

Do you think if I stuck a note on my gate people would have a free plant?

I did briefly think about charging but thought that would be cheeky!

so gardening types would you take a free house plant?

    I would lol, you could plant the bizzy lizzies in the garden.

    It's only a bargain if you were going to buy it anyway!

    I imagine so. Maybe freecycle would be good as well?

    It would be however the problem with trying to give away multiple cuttings to different people, is that some people don't understand that some plants produce hundreds of babies and giving them 3-4 is more than enough.
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p
