Spider Plant

Spider plants are very hardy plants and make a lovely house plant that especially like cool but damp rooms like bathrooms. Spider plants are a hanging plant so look lovely in a tub on a shelf or hung on the wall, they have very long thin leaves that are a gark green on the outside getting lighter as they go into the middle which is almost white.

The spider plant (Chlorophytum Comosum) is one of the easiest houseplants to have around the home. They are attractive, quick growing and require little care. They can be placed anywhere in the home as they are very adaptable to their surroundings, tolerating hot or cool rooms, sun, shade and dry air. About the only thing that will kill a spider plant is outright neglect over a long period of time. So if you're one of those people who never remember to water your plants, then give the wilted specimen on your window sill a drowning when you finally do notice it, the spider plant is the plant for you.

Eighteen years ago my husband's Aunt died. She was a dear lady and her plants were her pride and joy. As we cleared her house I packed as many as I could into the car and brought them home with us.

He's a survivor, though and he came ...  Read the complete review

Doo yoo know, I’m just after reading that Spider Plants - otherwise known as Chlorophytum, - that these gorgeous plants “…do well near an south window and enjoy filtered light.” What makes this of special interest to myself is that I presently have in my kitchen, no less than five Spider Plants; and one in particular, which is thriving beyond all expectations, is indeed on a corner shelf (therefore it is receiving ‘filtered’ light) and facing the kitchen door (which itself faces south). When I recently redecorated my kitchen (not a regular occurrence in the auldmac/Glasgow Girl household) I wondered if my ...  Read the complete review

The Spider plant, a member of the Liliaceae family, is one of the easiest plants to grow in the house. It originally comes from South Africa and was first introduced as an indoor plant in the middle of the 19th century. The Spider plant has long thin leaves some 30 to 46 cms long and up to 2.5cms wide. They are usually green with a band of white or off white down the centre. The plant produces insignificant flowers on long protruding stems that are soon replaced by tiny plantlets. These can be easily propagated by placing them into small pots of compost or via hydroculture. Although these plants have become popular house plants they also make very ...  Read the complete review
