Want to start with Indoor Gardening but wondering where to start? Spider Plant is a great way to begin with indoor gardening.
Chlorophytum comosum, often called spider plant but also known as airplane plant, St. Bernard’s lily, spider ivy, ribbon plant and hen and chickens is a species of perennial flowering plant.
The spider plant is considered one of the most adaptable of houseplants and the easiest to grow. It is native to tropical and southern Africa, but has become naturalized in other parts of the world. This plant can grow in a wide range of conditions and suffers from few problems, other than brown tips. Here are a few frequently asked questions about spider plant.
Spider plants are easy to grow, being able to thrive in a wide range of conditions. They will tolerate temperatures down to 2 °C (35 °F), but grow best at temperatures between 18 °C (65 °F) and 32 °C (90 °F).
The spider plant is so named because of its spider-like plants, or spiderettes, which dangle down from the mother plant like spiders on a web. Available in green or variegated varieties, these spiderettes often start out as small white flowers.
The NASA Clean Air Study determined that this plant was effective at removing common household air toxins formaldehyde and xylene.
