Spider
Chlorophytum comosum, commonly known as “Spider plants” are known for their curly leaves and “pups” that they produce at the end of their stems- you can prune these pups and propagate them to make a new Spider plant!

Their ability to thrive in a wide range of light conditions—from bright, indirect light to low light—makes them adaptable to many environments..
Even in low light, they may grow a bit slower, but they can still survive. If you're aiming for the best growth, providing them with moderate- bright, indirect light will be ideal.

Spider plants are fairly drought-tolerant, so it's important not to overwater them. However, they do prefer to dry out about halfway before watering again.
Check the soil by sticking your finger about 1–2 inches deep. If it feels dry, it's time to water. If it still feels moist, wait a few more days.
When you water, make sure to water thoroughly so that the excess drains out of the bottom of the pot. This ensures the roots get a good drink.

Spider plants prefer a light, well-draining soil. A standard houseplant mix works well, but adding a little perlite or orchid bark for extra aeration can be helpful.
During the growing season (typically spring and summer), you can fertilize your Spider plant about once a month. In fall and winter, when the plant is generally in a dormant phase, it’s best to reduce fertilizing or stop altogether.
Occasionally fertilizing and repotting, you’ll encourage steady growth and keep your pothos looking lush and vibrant.
