Easy to grow houseplants
Even if you’re new to plant care, plenty of indoor plants are simple to grow and don’t demand much special attention. They adapt well to most areas of the house, and you can reposition them until you discover the spot where they grow best.
- Spider Plant
Chlorophytum comosum ‘Variegatum’, better known as the spider plant, is a classic houseplant that has stayed popular for years.

In addition to its attractive look, the spider plant is also known for helping improve indoor air quality.
