The Spider plant is a flowering perennial native to tropical South Africa. The leaves of the spider plant are thin ribbon-like strands that end at a point and grow upward and bend downward giving it the look of a spider. Chlorophytum comosum is a perennial lily-like plant with tuberous roots, bearing spreading to recurved soft leaves from a central rosette and an elongated raceme with small white flowers. This is probably the most cultivated house plant in the world.
The Spider plant produces small white flowers that grow along a long stalk independent of the leaves of the spider plant. Also known for its air-purifying qualities, the spider plant is a great companion to any household or office.
