Spider Plant
Scientific Name: Chlorophytum comosum
Plant Family: Asparagaceae (formerly often placed in Liliaceae or Agavaceae)
Native Region: Southern and Tropical Africa

Brief Description
The image clearly shows two different plants. The broad, light green leaves with a lighter central stripe, radiating from a central point, are indicative of a Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum). Partially visible in the background, with wider, dark purple-striped leaves, appears to be a Tradescantia, likely a Tradescantia zebrina or similar 'Wandering Jew' variety. I will provide information for the Spider Plant as it is more prominent and identifiable.
Care Instructions
Spider Plants are relatively easy to care for. They prefer bright, indirect light; direct sunlight can scorch their leaves. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, but do not let them sit in soggy soil as this can lead to root rot. They tolerate average room humidity but appreciate occasional misting, especially in dry environments. Fertilize lightly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Repot when root-bound.
Medicinal Value
We do not currently provide medicinal value for plant identifications.
