Spider plant

The spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) is a popular houseplant with many notable characteristics:

Appearance: Spider plants have narrow, strap-shaped leaves that can be solid green or variegated with white or yellow stripes. They can grow up to 15 inches tall and have stems that can grow up to two feet long.

Flowers: Spider plants produce small, white, star-shaped flowers that bloom in response to short days and long nights.

Offshoots: Spider plants can produce “spiderettes,” or offshoots, which are small versions of the main plant with their own roots. This is how the plant gets its name.

Origin: Spider plants are native to coastal areas of South Africa.

Air purification: Spider plants are known for their air purifying qualities.

Toxicity: Spider plants are toxic to pets and are inedible.

Care: Spider plants prefer warm, humid conditions with temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) and a humidity level of 50 to 60%. They should be protected from drafts and air-conditioning vents.
