Chlorophytum comosum 'Spider Plant'

$ 19.99
Size: 4" Pot
DESCRIPTION
Living up to its moniker, the Chlorophytum comosum 'Spider Plant' is a charming houseplant hailing from tropical and southern Africa. With slender, arching leaves that display vibrant stripes of white and green, it's further highlighted by small white flowers that bloom on long, dangling stems, or 'spiderettes,' giving the plant its spider-like appearance. This captivating plant can reach up to 12 inches in height and 24 inches in width, although its cascading spiderettes can extend its visual presence even more. Perfectly suited for hanging baskets, the 'Spider Plant' will create a lush waterfall of foliage, cascading over the sides. However, when placed in a standard pot, it will also spread outwards, forming a dense, bushy mound. It's a fast grower and is known for its exceptional ability to adapt to a variety of conditions, making it a favorite amongst both novice and seasoned gardeners. Adding an element of intrigue, the 'Spider Plant' has a unique growth habit. The long, trailing stems produce small, white flowers that eventually develop into baby spider plants or 'pups.' These can be left to grow, adding to the plant's cascading appearance, or removed and potted up to create new plants. The 'Spider Plant' is not just a visual delight; it also plays a significant role in purifying the air. Recognized by NASA for its air-purifying capabilities, this beauty is known to remove harmful toxins such as formaldehyde and xylene from the air, promoting a healthier living environment. Adding to the year-round beauty of its variegated foliage, the 'Spider Plant' produces a profusion of tiny, star-shaped white flowers during the summer months. These delicate blossoms, appearing at the end of long, arching stems, open during the day and close at night, adding a charming touch to its already stunning display. Overall, the Chlorophytum comosum 'Spider Plant' is a versatile, attractive, and easy-to-grow houseplant that brings a touch of tropical appeal to any indoor setting. Its ability to adapt, its fast growth rate, and its air-purifying qualities make it a popular choice for homes and offices alike. Whether you're a beginner looking for an easy-care plant or an experienced gardener seeking to add variety to your indoor garden, the 'Spider Plant' is a fantastic choice.
PLANT SIZING & APPEARANCE

Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
