I'm a more stylish version of the spider plant - considered to be one of the most adaptable of houseplants and the easiest to grow! My curly, swirly, archy leaves give me lots of character and I bring happy vibes to any space (did I mention I also purify your air?).
As a member of the family Asparagaceae and hailing from southern Africa, I love Singapore's warm, tropical weather. I'll thrive if you keep my potting mix moist but not soggy, and place me in a bright spot away from direct sunlight. I can also tolerate shadier conditions (but of course my growth will not be as robust).
Spider plants are so named because of our spider-like plants babies, or spiderettes, which dangle down from the mother plant like spiders on a web. They're the cutest.
DID YOU KNOW?
My genus name, Chlorophytum, is a combination of the Greek words chlorosand phyton, which together mean green plant.
