Chlorophytum comosum, commonly known as the Spider Plant, is a hardy and adaptable plant that is native to South Africa. It is a member of the Asparagaceae family and is widely cultivated as a houseplant for its attractive appearance and ease of care.
The Spider Plant is known for its long, narrow leaves that are green or variegated with white stripes. The leaves grow from a central crown and can reach up to 2 feet in length. The plant produces long, arching stems that bear small, white flowers in the summer, which eventually develop into small plantlets or "spiderettes" that can be propagated to produce new plants.
In the wild, Chlorophytum comosum can be found in a variety of habitats, including open woodlands, grasslands, and rocky areas. It is a hardy plant that can tolerate a range of conditions, including drought, high heat, and low light.
As a houseplant, the Spider Plant is relatively low-maintenance and can thrive in a variety of light conditions. It prefers bright, indirect light and should be watered when the soil is dry to the touch. The plant is also known for its air-purifying properties, making it a popular choice for improving indoor air quality.
Chlorophytum comosum is a versatile and adaptable plant that can be grown in a variety of settings, including hanging baskets, pots, and terrariums. It is a great choice for beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts alike, as it is easy to care for and can produce new plants through propagation.
Overall, Chlorophytum comosum is a charming and versatile plant that can add a touch of greenery to any indoor space. With proper care and maintenance, it can be a long-lasting and valuable addition to any plant collection.
Where should I put it?
It will love lots of bright, indirect light - and can take some sunny spots too.
How should I water it?
You should water only when it is starting to dry out - try the top two inches of soil and if these are dry, soak the plant through and allow it to drain.
Should I feed it?
You can feed once a month in spring and summer - try our vegan, organic plant food!
Is it suitable if I have pets?
Pet Safe.

At Happy Houseplants, we ship all live plants via DPD’s 24-hour tracked carbon-neutral service. Delivery usually takes 7–10 working days, but in most cases your plants will arrive much sooner. You can read more about delivery here.
We post to most of the UK, but we’re unable to deliver to the Scottish Highlands and Islands, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight, the Scilly Isles and the Channel Islands because of higher shipping costs.
When we list a plant’s height, it always includes the grow pot, stem, foliage and living root system — not just what you see above the soil. Because every plant is unique, yours may arrive a little smaller or larger than the size listed.
