Spider Plant is the houseplant most of us grew up with, and it's still a great one ā it's nearly impossible to kill, tolerates a huge range of light conditions, and rewards you with dangling baby "pups" you can propagate for free.
Its arching, ribbon-like leaves bring a different texture to a terrarium than the broad-leaf tropicals that usually dominate a build, and it handles the humidity swings of a new enclosure without complaint.
Here's what you need to know
- Light: Bright indirect light; tolerates low light well.
- Water: Let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings.
- Humidity: Adaptable to normal household humidity; prefers higher humidity for lush growth.
- Growth: Fast-growing; mature plants send out "pups" on long stems.
- Pet safety: Non-toxic and pet-safe.
In a terrarium or vivarium build
Spider Plant adds arching, architectural texture to a larger build and holds up well through a new enclosure's settling-in period. Once established, its pups can be rooted separately to fill out future builds at no extra cost.
