Chlorophytum comosum 'Bonnie' (Spider Plant)

Chlorophytum comosum ‘Bonnie’ is a curly twist on the classic Spider Plant, with arching green-and-cream striped leaves that curl and loop as they grow. Mature plants produce long stems with small white flowers followed by dangling baby plantlets, giving ‘Bonnie’ its wonderfully wild, cascading look.

Easygoing, fast-growing, and forgiving, it’s a great choice for beginners or anyone looking for an unfussy trailing houseplant. Perfect for shelves, hanging baskets, or anywhere its curly foliage has room to tumble.

Light: Bright, indirect light; tolerates medium light
Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil have dried
Humidity: Average household humidity
Pet Friendly: Generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs

At The Accidental Plant Shop, we love spider plants for new plant parents, busy people, and anyone who wants an easy hanging plant that still feels lush. They grow quickly in the right conditions, so you get that satisfying “look, it’s bigger!” moment without having to fuss over it every day.

Care

• Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal; can handle medium light, too.

• Water: Let the top inch of soil dry out, then water thoroughly and let excess water drain.

• Soil: Standard, well‑draining potting mix works well.

• Humidity: Content in normal home humidity; higher humidity is a bonus but not required.

• Temperature: Happy in typical indoor temps; protect from cold drafts.

• Growth habit: Arching, fountain‑like foliage with baby plantlets on long stems.
