Chlorophytum comosum

Key Features:

• Air-Purifying: The Spider Plant is well-known for its air-purifying qualities, helping to remove toxins and improve indoor air quality.
• Unique Appearance: With its cascading leaves and trailing spiderettes, this plant adds a touch of elegance and life to any room.
• Low-Maintenance: One of the easiest houseplants to care for, the Spider Plant is forgiving of occasional neglect and adapts well to various environments.
• Pet-Friendly: Safe for homes with pets, as it is non-toxic to cats and dogs.

Plant Care:

• Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil slightly moist. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to avoid waterlogging. It can tolerate periods of drought but prefers consistent moisture.
• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight but can also adapt to lower light conditions. Too much direct sunlight may cause the leaves to scorch.
• Soil: Prefers well-draining potting soil. Adding perlite or sand to the mix ensures proper aeration.
• Temperature: Spider Plants enjoy moderate temperatures between 55-80°F (13-27°C). Protect from extreme cold or frost.
• Humidity: While they can tolerate average household humidity, they thrive in slightly more humid environments. Misting occasionally or placing the plant in a more humid room, like a bathroom, can help.
• Maintenance: Regularly remove any dead or yellowing leaves to keep the plant healthy. The plant will produce baby spiderettes, which can be propagated easily.

Tip: Spider Plants can grow quickly and benefit from occasional repotting to accommodate their expanding roots.
