Everything about The Spider Plant totally explained
The
Spider Plant,
Chlorophytum comosum, is a species of
Chlorophytum native to
South Africa.
Spider plants have long narrow
leaves that are 20–40 cm (8–15 in) long and 5–20 mm (0.2–0.8 in) broad, which grow from a central rosette. It also produces branched
stolons with small white
flowers and baby plantlets.
It is a very popular
houseplant. The most widely grown is the
variegated cultivar 'Variegatum', with one or two broad yellowish-white bands running along the length of each leaf, but natural, entirely green plants are also grown.
The Spider Plant is very easy to
propagate. They can be propagated by splitting its main
rosette, or more easily by removing plantlets from the stolons and potting them separately or putting them in a glass of water.
It is an especially popular plant with beginners, as it's easy to grow and propagate and is very tolerant of neglect, being able to thrive in nearly any type of condition.
Spider plants have also been shown to reduce
indoor air pollution.
At the spot where a leaf would normally develop a node, these plants will produce adventitious roots down into the soil, and new above ground shoots.
