Chlorophytum comosum
With arching green-and-white leaves and dangling baby 'spiderettes', the spider plant is a classic hanging-basket plant that multiplies itself for free. It's famously easy and pet-friendly.
Spider plants grow fast in Nigerian warmth and humidity, tolerate power-cut-era indoor light levels, and their plantlets root in plain water — perfect for sharing with neighbours.
Light
Bright indirect light; tolerates medium light but variegation fades in deep shade.
Water
Weekly, keeping soil lightly moist but never soggy.
Soil
Any decent potting mix with compost added.
Pro tip
Brown leaf tips usually mean fluoride in tap water — use filtered or rain water if you can.
