Spider/Chlorophytem Plant In 6 Inch White Nursery Pot

The spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) is a popular, easy-to-grow houseplant known for its arching green leaves and dangling baby plants (“spiderettes”).

Quick Facts

• Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal; tolerates lower light.
• Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches (2–5 cm) of soil feel dry.
• Temperature: Prefers 60–80°F (16–27°C).
• Humidity: Average indoor humidity is usually sufficient.
• Growth: Produces long stems with small plantlets that can be propagated easily.
• Pet Safety: Generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.

Common Problems

• Brown leaf tips: Often caused by fluoride/salts in tap water, low humidity, or inconsistent watering.
• Pale leaves: May indicate too little light.
• Root-bound plant: Spider plants grow quickly and may need repotting every 1–2 years.

Propagation

Simply place a baby plantlet in water or soil while it’s still attached (or after cutting it off), and it will usually root within a few weeks.
