Know before you buy
The 'Bonnie' variety features distinctively curled, spiraling leaves that provide more texture and a more compact, playful appearance than the straight-leafed common Spider Plant.
No, it prefers partial shade or indirect light. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, while moderate, filtered light helps maintain the vibrant green-and-white variegation.
Once the small plantlets develop tiny roots, you can snip them off and place them in water or directly into moist potting soil. They root very easily, making this an excellent plant for expanding your collection.
While it prefers medium humidity, it is quite adaptable to average household conditions. If your home is very dry, you can mist the leaves occasionally or place it near other plants to create a more humid microclimate.
The 'Bonnie' typically grows to a mature height and spread of about 12 to 18 inches. Its trailing growth habit makes it perfect for hanging baskets, where the foliage can cascade gracefully over the edges.
You should keep this plant in an environment that stays above 50°F. It is not frost-hardy and should be kept away from cold drafts or air conditioning vents during the winter months.
