Variation options:
Propagation- this will be a “baby” clipped from the mother plant. To get it started you’ll plant it in a potting soil of your choosing and place in a well lit, draft free area. Keep the soil moist but not water logged. Keep an eye out for root rot.
For an established plant with an existing and well developed healthy root system choose:
3” pot
4” pot
🍃 Chlorophytum comosum, usually called spider plant or common spider plant due to its spider-like look; also known as spider ivy, airplane plant, ribbon plant (a name it shares with Dracaena sanderiana), and hen and chickens, is a species of evergreen perennial flowering plant of the family Asparagaceae. It is native to tropical and Southern Africa but has become naturalized in other parts of the world, including Western Australia and Bangladesh. Chlorophytum comosum is easy to grow as a houseplant because of its resilience, but it can be sensitive to the fluoride in tap water, which commonly gives it "burnt tips". Variegated forms are the most popular.
🍃 They are extremely hardy and grow beautiful indoors. Simply plant in a chunky growing medium of your preference and watch them grow! What do you receive: You will receive a spider starter plant I propagated from my mother plant. It was started in water. Each node in this listing was transferred to a chunky, organic potting soil in 2025. Each starter plant will ship in a 2” or 3” nursery pot. To care for your spider plant and keep it healthy, follow these care guidelines:
☀️ Light: Provide bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct morning sunlight but should be protected from harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves.
🌧️ Watering: Water your plant when the top inch or two of the soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely or keeping it consistently soggy. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's important to find the right balance.
💗 Pests: We do not use chemicals in our home. Your pothos is shipping from my house where there are no current pest issues. Please thoroughly check your plant upon receipt to ensure it did not pick up any hitchhikers on its journey.
📬 If you live in a colder climate please consider adding winter protection to your order. I cannot guarantee your plant will survive in prolonged cold temperatures. If you choose to risk it I will not refund your purchase if it dies during transit.
📸 If your plant does die en route (even with winter protection) please take a photo as soon as you receive and send to me within 24-48 hours so I can make things right.
‼️ PLEASE be aware plants may lose leaves en route to their new home. As long as the root system is healthy they will grow a new leaf with proper care. Refunds are not given for broken or damaged leaves.
