Spider Plant Hanging Basket

The spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) is one of the most common yet popular houseplants. Its popularity among those who are just beginning to test their green thumb lie on the ease and speed with which it grows and forms new plants as well as its tolerance to any conditions. The Spider plants have long narrow strap-shape leaves which grow from a central rosette and come in solid green or variegated color with white or yellow lengthwise stripes. It is called Spider Plant because of the small plantlets, bearing many small white star-shaped flowers, produced on long wiry stems that vaguely resemble spiders.

The plantlets of a Spider Plant can be either used to propagate new plants, or left on to create a very full Spider Plant hanging basket. This clump-forming, perennial, herbaceous plant is also known to reduce indoor air pollution.
