RHS/Neil Hepworth Appearance
Most have thin, narrow, variegated leaves that arch outwards from the centre, creating a fountain of foliage. Long, thin stems hang gracefully downwards, bearing small white flowers, followed by spider-like plantlets.
Preferences
Spider plants prefer a bright position indoors, with indirect or dappled light, but will also tolerate low light levels.
Dislikes
Avoid placing in direct sunlight, especially in summer, as this can scorch the leaves.
Did you know?
As propagating spider plants is so easy, they’re a great choice if you want to quickly and inexpensively expand your houseplant collection.
