Spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum)

The spider plant name originates from the look of the plant’s slender leaves spilling over and creating other little plantlets.

It also loves moisture and is the perfect plant to stick in the bathroom. Plus it’s great for air purifying (another check for a perfect bathroom plant).

Light: Give it bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight. 

Water: Keep well-watered, but water less in the winter. 

Pet friendly: Yes, but it can be mildly hallucinogenic to cats (like catnip). Still, it’s recommended to keep away from cats as it can cause an upset stomach, vomiting, or diarrhea.

Plant parent level: Beginner.

Pro tip: You can also create a second plant with baby spider plants. The baby spiders can be pressed down into compost, creating a self-root, giving you a second plant.
