The Spider Plant is a species of Chlorophytum native to South Africa. Spider plants have long narrow leaves, which grow from a central rosette. It also produces branched stolons with small white flowers and baby plantlets.
It is a very popular houseplant. The most widely grown is the variegated cultivar ‘Variegatum‘, with one or two broad yellowish-white bands running along the length of each leaf, but natural, entirely green plants are also grown.
It is an especially popular plant with beginners, as it is easy to grow and propagate and is very tolerant of neglect, being able to thrive in nearly any type of condition. Spider plants have also been shown to reduce indoor air pollution. Spider plants also grow well in hanging baskets.
Care tips:
- Drown with water once a week.
- Grows well in light shade.
- Able to grow under fluorescent lighting.
