If you’re not a “plant person” but want to become one…
The spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) might just be the green friend you didn’t know you needed.
I wasn’t always a plant parent.
In fact, I used to kill cacti.
But after years of my mom gently nudging me toward leafy life with lines like:
“Just try a spider plant — they’re nearly unkillable,”
…I finally gave in.
And now?
I have four .
On shelves.
In baskets.
Even in an old chipped mug.
They don’t demand much.
They don’t complain when I forget to water them.
And somehow, they’ve made my space feel fresher, calmer, and more alive.
Let’s explore why this humble plant deserves a spot in your home — whether you’re new to indoor gardening or building your own jungle.
What Makes the Spider Plant So Special?
The spider plant isn’t flashy like monstera.
It doesn’t have giant leaves like fiddle-leaf figs.
