Description
Chlorophytum laxum ‘Lemon Lime’ is a perennial lily-like plant with tuberous roots, bearing spreading to recurved soft leaves from a central rosette and an elongated raceme with small white flowers. This is probably the most cultivated house plant in the world
Chlorophytum comosum ‘Lemon’ cultivar produces a rosette of lush, lime green arching foliage. Leaves grow from a central crown and can reach up to 1 ft (30 cm) long. Give this plant plenty of light for the best leaf color. Plants grown in low light may lose their variegation..
Environment
Spider plant needs a normal, moist, sandy loam soil and should be best in indirect sunlight. They like plenty of water, between spring and summer. In the winter they should need a lot less. Avoid too much hot air as this will affect the leaves. Spraying a water mist in the summer will help.
Landscape Use
Spider plants look best in hanging baskets or on tall stands or pedestals to show off their trailing foliage.
