The Spider Plant

The Spider Plant or Chlorophytum coscum is a classic houseplant, which was popularised in the 70s when placed within a macramé hanging planter. The spider plant is widely spread and is native to parts of Africa, Asia and Australia. One of the unique features of this houseplant is the growth of babies (or more accurately clones) that form a cascade of miniature spider plants. This plant grows well in indirect sunlight with moist soil, and is non-toxic to pets.
