Spider Plant
Chlorophytum comosum
$124-inch
Cheerful, striped, and endlessly generous — it grows babies that cascade on long arching stems.
The Spider Plant is a widely grown houseplant with long, arching leaves striped in cream and green. Mature plants can produce runners tipped with small plantlets that are easy to propagate. It is commonly listed as non-toxic to cats and dogs, but chewing can still cause discomfort and the exact species should be verified with a veterinarian or trusted toxicology source.

Care guide
Care notes are illustrative general guidance, not a schedule or guarantee. Check soil and plant condition first, then adjust for season, climate, light, pot, and exact species.
Care tips
Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Spider Plants are prone to fluoride sensitivity — use filtered or rainwater and avoid fluoride-treated tap water. Feed monthly in spring and summer. Allow plantlets to develop on their runners; once they have small roots of their own, they can be snipped off and placed in water or soil to root. Brown tips are extremely common and usually cosmetic.
Common issues
Brown tips are the most common complaint and are usually caused by fluoride or chlorine in tap water, low humidity, or dry soil. Switch to filtered water and trim brown tips with clean scissors at a slight angle. Yellowing leaves can indicate overwatering or poor drainage. Root-bound plants produce more plantlets — Spider Plants actually like being slightly pot-bound. Pale, washed-out leaves indicate too much direct sun.
