Chlorophytum comosum Variegatum
The most well known plant in the world?
If you are worried about killing plants, one of the best-known houseplants and great option for new plant parents is Chlorophytum. It’s resilient and incredibly versatile. Often called the ‘spider plant’ due to the leaves that spread down and form plantlets, Chlorophytum will cascade down so is good on a plant stand, hanging or placed on shelves for some instant green. Chlorophytum filters nasties from the air, so it’s also a perfect choice for high traffic areas like living rooms. Repot younger plants annually, older plants when roots push through bottom of container.
