The generous spider from South Africa
Native to South Africa, the Spider Plant is known for its arching, striped foliage and the little plantlets that dangle from long stems like hanging spiders.
Hardy, forgiving, and quick to multiply, it purifies the air and fills hangers with elegance, making it ideal for beginners and trailing displays alike.
"The Spider Plant gives you a new plant every time you care for it."
