Filter:

A South African hanging plant with arching striped grass-like leaves and dangling baby plantlets, one of the easiest and most prolific houseplants.

Cultivation

Almost foolproof, spider plant tolerates low light, irregular watering, and most temperatures. Use distilled or rain water to avoid fluoride-induced brown leaf tips.

Uses

A classic of windowsills, hanging baskets, and beginner gardens, spider plant was famously included in NASAs studies of indoor air-filtering houseplants in the 1980s.
