The spider plant is no stranger to many homes as they have been popular for many years, and for good reason. Don’t let the name scare you away this plant is unique because of the way the plantlets grow off and below the original plant. The thin slick look of the leaves are reminiscent of the legs of a spider, hence the name. Chlorophytum comosum is its scientific name and Its origin is southern Africa.

This amazing looking plant comes in a variety of sizes and patterns so you can customize your indoor garden. They need only minimal care with watering every week or so, letting the soil dry out. Once your spider plant gets really full it can actually help your plant grow even bigger if you snip some of the florets at the base. If some of the leaves on your plant start to turn brown it’s usually because the water you are using has a higher content of fluoride so the plant will sacrifice a couple leaves to push the excess salt to.
