Jacinda | Spider Plant | Zebra Grass
The Spider Plant is maybe the most iconic house plant – who didn’t have one in the house growing up? They’re also the perfect live accompaniment to any mid-century furniture or teak sideboards for that perfect modern-meets-vintage eclectic look. We’ve got 2 varieties, the classic (Chlorophytum comosum) and a shorter variety called Zebra grass with smaller leaves tinged with white edges.

Care Advice
Jacinda | Spider Plant | Chlorophytum comosum
Native to South Africa but now found in tropical climates around the world, the Spider Plant is a really easy going plant and ideal for those who struggle to keep their house plants alive.
Give her a good watering every couple of weeks but don’t leave her sitting in lots of water and you can let her dry out between waterings – she’s very chilled and can take being forgotten for a few weeks here and there. Spider plants are also very rewarding, when they’re happy, they give you lots of little babies, or ‘spiderettes’ so you can increase your collection or gift them to friends – Jacinda really is the perfect plant.
We’ve got two varieties in store, the ‘classic’ spider plant with long, curving leaves and a white stripe in the middle; and ‘zebra grass’ a variety with shorter green leaves that create more of a star shape from the centre and have a white tinged edge.
The only common issue you might see is browning leaf tips – mine gets this sometimes. It’s due to fluoride in our tap water so water from a filtered jug if you have one, or leave a jug or bucket outside to collect rainwater – I find my plants prefer the natural stuff to our tap water every day!
All of the houseplants in my shop are named after an inspiring woman. This time, it’s Jacinda Ardern, PM for New Zealand. Whether it’s breast feeding in Parliament or forging a world leading plan through COVID, she’s an incredible leader and overall awesome woman.
Spider Plants are pet-friendly although they do release a chemical when eaten that can make cats a little excitable!
