Chlorophytum comosum 'Spider Plant'

Chlorophytum comosum are native to South Africa. They’re also known as spider plants, and they’re mostly grown as houseplants. They have leaves that arch and that are green with white stripes. For them to have the best color, these plants need a good amount of light. There are white flowers that can grow when these plants are under a year old.  

Chlorophytum comosum are easy to take care of and propagate, so they’re perfect for beginners! 

Care Tips

Light: It’s best for them to grow in bright but indirect light. 

Water: They should be watered regularly in April to September, but they only need to be watered occasionally in the fall and winter. 

Soil: Use well-drained soil. 

Potting: They should be potted into a larger pot when the roots start showing. 

Temperature: The temperature should be at a minimum of 7°C, but ideally it should be around 15-24°C. 

Humidity: They prefer humidity at 40-60%.

Care Instructions

Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.

To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.
