Chlorophytum comosum, usually called spider plant or common spider plant due to its spider-like look, also known as spider ivy, airplane plant, [2] ribbon plant (a name it shares with Dracaena sanderiana), [3] and hen and chickens, [4] is a species of evergreen perennial flowering plant of the family Asparagaceae.
Chlorophytum (/ ˌ k l ɒr ə ˈ f aɪ t əm, ˌ k l ɔː-,-r oʊ-/, [3] [4]), sometimes colloquially referred to as the spider plants, is a genus of almost 200 species of evergreen perennial flowering plants in the century plant subfamily within the asparagus family. [5] The plants are native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa ...
The soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC) is the pathway for water moving from soil through plants to the atmosphere. Continuum in the description highlights the continuous nature of water connection through the pathway. The low water potential of the atmosphere, and relatively higher (i.e. less negative) water potential inside leaves, leads ...
To propagate your spider plant, trim off the smaller plant and place the bottom in a glass of water. Once roots have developed, transfer the offshoot into soil, and water it regularly. How to ...

The graceful, spindly leaves of Chlorophytum comosum, or spider plant, make it a great option for hanging, and thanks to its low-maintenance care requirements, it’s beginner-friendly too.
saturated soil conditions, where roots are unable to obtain sufficient oxygen for cellular respiration, and so are unable to transport water into the plant; or; bacteria or fungi that clog the plant's vascular system. Wilting diminishes the plant's ability to transpire，reproduce and grow. Permanent wilting leads to the plant dying.
As a water molecule evaporates from the leaf's surface it pulls on the adjacent water molecule, creating a continuous water flow through the plant. [6] Two major factors influence the rate of water flow from the soil to the roots: the hydraulic conductivity of the soil and the magnitude of the pressure gradient through the soil.
