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.

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

INTRODUCTION   If you own more than a couple of house plants, the chances are you can probably count a spider plant amongst your collection.  They're everywhere once you start to look for them, in offices, public buildings, living rooms, bathrooms etc.  They are very popular for lots of reasons, hopefully I'll explain why below.   GROWING SPIDERPLANTS   The easiest (but not the cheapest) way to have a spider plant is to buy one from a garden centre, or you sometimes see them for sale at car-boot sales or on market stalls which is undoubtedly cheaper.  Cheaper still than buying a plant is to try to grow from seed, although it is tricky as ...  Read the complete review

The humble spider plant. I bet you know someone who has one, or remember them adorning your relative's windowsills and bathrooms. They are somewhat an old fashoined plant, but certainly not out of style. I've seen it said that it's impossible to kill a spider plant, and this has a solid grounding. These are capable of miraculous recoveries from all but the most severe faux pas. **What do they look like?** Spider plants come in many varieties, the four I am going to talk about in this review are the ones I have experience with. The one everyone will likely be familiar with is Chlorophytum comosum var. Vittatum. this has long narrow green leaves ...  Read the complete review
