Spider Plant

Chlorophytum comosum, 

Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum)
A classic houseplant that never goes out of style! Spider Plants flaunt long, ribbon-like leaves—either solid green or variegated with creamy white stripes—that cascade gracefully from a central rosette. As they mature, they send out slender stems with tiny white flowers that morph into baby plantlets, ready to snip and share.

• Air-purifying: NASA-approved for removing indoor pollutants like formaldehyde and carbon monoxide
• Propagation party: Spiderettes make it easy to multiply your plant family

Care

• Light: Bright, indirect sunlight; tolerates low light but avoid direct sun
• Water: Keep soil lightly moist; allow top inch to dry between waterings
