The spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) is a popular and hardy houseplant known for its arching, narrow green leaves with white stripes. Native to tropical and southern Africa, it thrives in indirect sunlight and requires minimal care, making it perfect for beginners. The plant produces small white flowers that develop into spider-like plantlets, which can be easily propagated. Spider plants are also known for their air-purifying qualities, removing pollutants like formaldehyde and xylene from indoor environments. Their adaptability and resilience, combined with aesthetic appeal, make them a favorite choice for adding greenery to homes and offices.
