Spider plants are popular houseplants known for their long, arching leaves that resemble spider legs. They typically have green and white striped foliage and can grow up to 2 feet long. These plants are easy to care for and thrive in a variety of indoor conditions, making them ideal for beginners. In addition to their attractive appearance, spider plants produce small, white flowers and baby plants, or "pups," that can be propagated. They are also known for their air-purifying qualities, helping to remove toxins from the air, which contributes to a healthier indoor environment.
