The Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum) is one of the most beloved indoor hanging plants, known for its graceful, arch-shaped green and white striped leaves. It’s an excellent air purifier and one of the easiest houseplants to grow — ideal for beginners, offices, and homes.
The Spider Plant produces long, slender leaves that arch outward, resembling spider legs, hence the name. It also grows small baby plantlets (“spiderettes”) on trailing stems, which can easily be propagated to create new plants. Mature plants reach around 1–2 feet in height or spread.
This plant thrives in bright, indirect sunlight but can also tolerate partial shade. Water moderately — about once a week — allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Overwatering should be avoided to prevent root rot.
As proven by NASA’s Clean Air Study, the Spider Plant effectively removes harmful toxins such as formaldehyde, xylene, and carbon monoxide from indoor air. It improves oxygen levels and creates a fresher, healthier living space.
Spider Plants are extremely low-maintenance. Trim brown tips occasionally, mist the leaves during dry weather, and repot every couple of years to promote healthy root growth. They are non-toxic to pets, making them safe for households with cats and dogs.
