Spider Plant (Chlorophytum Comosum)

Spider Plant (Chlorophytum Comosum)

The Spider Plant, scientifically known as Chlorophytum comosum, is a beloved houseplant celebrated for its striking appearance and easy maintenance. Native to tropical and southern Africa, this resilient plant boasts long, arching leaves that are typically green with elegant white stripes running down the center. The leaves grow in a rosette form and can reach up to 1-2 feet in length indoors, making it an excellent choice for adding a touch of greenery to any room.

One of the Spider Plant's most unique features is its ability to produce numerous "pups" or plantlets on long stems, which can be propagated to create new plants. This characteristic, along with its attractive foliage, makes it a popular choice for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts.

Care Instructions:

• Light: Bright, indirect light; can tolerate low light but may lose some variegation.
• Water: Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged; allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity; occasional misting can be beneficial.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 60-75°F (16-24°C).
• Soil: Well-draining potting mix; a blend designed for houseplants is ideal.
• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

PET FRIENDLY: NON-toxic to dogs and cats according to the ASPCA
