Terrible name (arachno-phobic here) and a great plant--so attractive, useful, and easy to grow, whether indoors up North or outdoors down South. A hanging basket of a mother plant and a cascade of pups is striking. However, note to cat owners: cats LOVE to eat spider plants. None of my pride members have suffered any ill effects, but the same can't be said for the poor spider plant that received the severe pruning. On the other hand, proof of the plant's hardiness: none of my spider plants ever died after a cat pruning--of course, the plants weren't prolific pup producers, but they did just doggedly (pun intended) regrow their leaves. Which got eaten again....... ;)
