Plant Description
Description
Chlorophytum comosum, commonly known as the Spider Plant, is one of the most popular and easy-going houseplants. With its long, arching green leaves striped with creamy white, it's perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or tabletops. Fast growing and incredibly forgiving, it's an excellent choice for beginners and experienced plant owners alike.
PLANT CARE
Everything you need to know to keep your plant happy and thriving.
LIGHT
Low Light
WATER
Moderate watering. Allow the top few centimetres of compost to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, then allow excess water to drain away. Reduce watering during winter.
SOIL
Free-draining houseplant compost with added perlite to improve drainage while retaining light moisture.
REPOT
Repot every 1â2 years in spring or when rootbound. Spider Plants prefer to be slightly pot-bound and often produce more baby plants before needing a larger pot.

Medium
DIFFICULTY

AIR PURIFYING

JOE'S TOP TIP
Bright, indirect light encourages strong variegation and plenty of baby spider plants. Leave the plantlets attached for a cascading display or remove and pot them up to grow new plants.
COMMON MISTAKE
Most people struggle with Spider Plants by overwatering or using hard tap water, which can cause brown leaf tips. Rainwater or filtered water can help keep the foliage looking fresh.
