Fun facts

  • The baby plantlets, called "spiderettes," dangle from long stems like spiders on silk.
  • Plantlets root in soil or water, so one plant can produce dozens of new plants for free.
  • It stores water in thick, tuberous roots, helping it survive missed waterings.
  • Cats are attracted to spider plants, possibly because the leaves have a mild, harmless hallucinogenic effect on them.
