The Spider Plant, also known as Chlorophytum comosum, is a popular houseplant known for its easy care and ability to purify the air. It has long, arching leaves that are typically green with white stripes. They can also produce small white flowers.
To care for a Spider Plant, place it in a bright, indirect light area and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. They can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, but prefer temperatures between 60-75 °F. They can also tolerate a range of humidity, but prefer moderate humidity. It can be fertilized with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
To propagate Spider Plant, simply divide the offsets or “babies” that appear at the base of the mother plant, and pot them up in their own container.
Spider Plants are known to be very resilient, and can survive in low light conditions, and you can also allow the soil to dry out a bit between watering. They are also known to be great air-purifiers and can help remove toxins from the air.
