Spider Plant
Chlorophytum Comosum
The plant, by the plant
I'm the only creepy-crawly you'll ever invite inside on purpose. I'm the Spider Plant - arching green-and-cream striped leaves, and once I'm settled, long runners dangling baby 'spiderettes' like a mobile made of free plants. Snip a baby, pot it up, gift it - I'm the plant that keeps on gifting.
Full disclosure for cat households: I'm 100% non-toxic, but I contain compounds that cats find weirdly fascinating - expect supervised nibbling attempts. I survive them; it's my whole brand. Bright, indirect light, water when the topsoil dries, done.
What you'll get (no surprises):
- Medium - 140mm nursery pot, approx 15-20cm
- Large - 200mm hanging basket, approx 20-30cm with trailing babies to come
Pets: completely pet-safe - officially the cat-approved plant.
Hang my Large form from a Wren Macrame Hanger and pot my future babies into a Micro Pot - the circle of plant life, on your shelf.

Care tips
Easy plant to care for and grow! Can thrive in medium light and can tolerate some shade. Water regularly, allowing the top of the soil to dry out in between waterings. To promote growth of the plant, remember to remove big pups from the runners. Fertilise in warmer months.
Feeding
To get the best out of your indoor plants, you will need to feed them some food. The Good Plant Co Indoor Plant Food will provide all the nutrients they need to grow more leaves and help them stay strong. When the plant is actively growing during the warmer months, it needs a bit more food and water. During the slow growing season (cooler winter months) your plant doesn’t eat or drink as much (no extra winter layer of fat for these babies). Sometimes it’s ok to be a helicopter parent – respond to your plant’s needs. To keep the dust off your beautiful indoor plant leaves use The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine. Moral of the story, if it is growing new leaves then it will need more water and food!
