Iconic houseplant

Add Freshness & Style with the Classic Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum)

• The Spider Plant is a beloved staple for homes and offices, famed for its ability to purify indoor air and its striking appearance.
• This perennial evergreen forms dense clumps of long, arching green-and-cream variegated leaves, creating a lush waterfall effect in any space.

Why Choose Spider Plants?

• Air Purification: NASA studies recognise Spider Plants as effective at removing toxins such as formaldehyde from indoor air.
• Cascading Beauty: As the plant matures, it produces trailing stems with baby plantlets ('spiderettes') that dangle gracefully below the mother plant.
• Flowering: Expect delicate white star-shaped flowers on mature plants during spring and summer.

Growing Guide & Care Instructions

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight but tolerates partial shade. Avoid harsh midday sun to prevent leaf scorch.
• Water: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Water less in winter. Avoid waterlogged conditions.
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix; neutral pH (6.0–7.0) is ideal.
• Temperature: Best kept between 15–25°C. Protect from frost; not suitable for outdoor planting in the UK except during warm months.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every month during spring and summer for optimal growth.
• Mature Size: Grows up to 50cm (20") tall and wide.

Planting & Design Tips

• Create dramatic displays by placing Spider Plants in hanging baskets or on shelves where their trailing stems can cascade freely.
• Makes a striking companion with other shade-loving houseplants like Pothos, Peace Lily, or Ferns.
• Easily propagate new plants from spiderettes—just root them in water or soil!
