This Chlorophytum comosum-Spider Plant is a (Grower's Choice) plant which means we choose the plant for you and will be chosen from a variety of different Spider Plants, some with darker variegation and others will traditional variegation.
Chlorophytum comosum (also known as Spider Plant) is from the plant family Anthericaceae and is native to South Africa. It's actually a perennial, evergreen herb and a very popular and easy to grow houseplant. Long ribbon-like foliage with green and yellow/white variegation is typical but varies somewhat based on the particular cultivar. Plants over a year old will throw out runners on which will produce 'pups' or 'baby plantlets' that can removed to start new plants. Chlorophytum comosum-Spider Plant can tolerate part shade but prefers bright, indirect light. Keep soil evenly moist.
