Spider Bonnie

Chlorophytum comosum 'Bonnie'

spider bonnie

Also known as: Curly Spider Plant, Bonnie Spider Plant, Airplane Plant

Native to the tropical and subtropical regions of southern Africa, Spider Plant Bonnie is the compact, curly cousin of the classic spider plant. Its long, narrow leaves twist and curl as they grow, striped in creamy white and bright green — giving it a fun, playful look unlike any other houseplant. As it matures, it sends out long, arching stems tipped with tiny baby plantlets called "spiderettes" that dangle like little spiders on a web — a charming detail that makes it one of the most fun and rewarding plants to grow.

Water when the top two inches of soil feel dry and feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength once a month during spring and summer — skip fertilizing in fall and winter.
