Latin Name: Chlorophytum comosum 

The Spider Plant is a versatile, easy-care perennial prized for its arching foliage and air-purifying qualities. Growing 12–24 inches (30–60 cm) tall with a spread of up to 36 inches (90 cm), it’s ideal for hanging baskets, tabletops, and indoor gardens.

This popular houseplant features slender, green-and-white striped leaves that cascade gracefully, producing baby plantlets (spiderettes) on long runners, which can be propagated. Tiny white star-shaped flowers may appear in bright light.

Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates low light. Prefers well-draining soil and moderate watering (allow to dry between waterings). Drought-tolerant and pet-friendly.

Perfect for beginner gardeners or offices, pair with pothos, ferns, or peace lilies for a lush display.
