Chlorophytum, commonly known as the Spider Plant, is one of the most popular and resilient houseplants. Known for its long, arching leaves with green and white stripes, the Spider Plant produces small white flowers and plantlets, which dangle from the mother plant like spiders on a web—hence its name. This low-maintenance plant is highly adaptable to various indoor conditions and is well-known for its air-purifying qualities. Its cascading foliage makes it ideal for hanging baskets or as a table plant.
Type of Light: Bright, Indirect Light to Low Light
Spider Plants thrive in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate low-light conditions, making them perfect for various indoor spaces. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, as it may scorch the leaves.
Watering: Moderate Water Requirement
Water the Spider Plant when the top inch of soil feels dry, typically every 1-2 weeks. This plant prefers evenly moist soil but is quite tolerant of occasional drought. In cooler months, reduce watering slightly, and ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.
Companion Planting:
Spider Plants pair well with other easy-care indoor plants such as Peace Lily, Pothos, and Ferns. These plants create a vibrant indoor garden with lush greenery and varying textures. For a hanging or trailing plant setup, Spider Plant also complements Philodendron and English Ivy, adding a cascading effect.
