Curly Spider Plant

As part of the NASA Clean Air Study, Spider plants were shown to be the most effective in removing carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, Xylene, and toluene. Better than most indoor plants!

Other researchers also noted that placing Chlorophytum comosum in hospital rooms helps speed up patients’ recovery rate compared to patients in rooms without the plant.

• The Chlorophytum comosum plant will thrive in well-lit rooms, out of direct sunlight.
• The ideal temperatures are between 12 and 22ºC.
• Water generously from spring to autumn and less in the winter.
• Spider plants store nutrients in their tubers so they don’t need too much feeding. A weak fertiliser once a month during the growing season only is plenty.
• The plant will appreciate yearly repotting during the spring. Use a well-draining organic soil mix.

Where is it from?

Spider plants are members of the Asparagaceae family and are native to southern Africa.

Who is the Curly Spider Plant?

The genus name, Chlorophytum, is a combination of the Greek words chloros and phyton, which together mean green plant.

Outdoors, the spider plant can produce small, fragrant, star-shaped white flowers that are attractive to bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators. Indoors, they are unlikely to bloom flowers.
