Chlorophytum Bonnie 12cm H20cm

Meet Chlorophytum comosum 'Bonnie'—the curly spider plant with bouncy striped leaves and easy-going charm. She has all the resilience of a classic spider plant, but with a tighter, twistier shape that looks brilliant on shelves and plant stands. The Formal Name: Chlorophytum comosum 'Bonnie' The Nickname: Curly Spider Plant Roots: A compact cultivar of the classic spider plant, grown for arching curled foliage and baby plantlets on mature stems. Natural Vibe: Bright filtered light, average home warmth and a forgiving watering routine. Care Guide: Sunlight: Bright indirect light keeps the curl and variegation looking fresh. She will tolerate lower light, but growth may slow. Best Room: A kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, office or bright shelf. She is an excellent beginner-friendly houseplant. Snacks: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant feed. Tropical Feels: Average home humidity is usually fine. Brown tips are often linked to dryness, inconsistent watering or mineral build-up. Cosy Factor: Comfortable normal room temperatures suit her well. Keep away from cold draughts. Thirst: Water when the top few centimetres of compost have dried. She stores some moisture in chunky roots, so avoid waterlogging. Safety First: Pet-friendly – generally considered a safer choice around cats and dogs, though nibbling is still best avoided. The Bedding: A standard peat-free houseplant mix with added perlite works well. Family Tree: Mature plants produce baby spiderettes that can be rooted to make new plants. Space Needs: Great in a hanging pot or raised shelf where the curled leaves and baby stems can tumble. Speed: Fast and forgiving in good light, especially through spring and summer. Uninvited Guests: Generally robust, but watch for aphids, mealybug and fungus gnats if kept too wet. Moving Day: Repot when the pot is packed with thick roots or dries out very quickly after watering. Haircut: Trim brown tips with clean scissors and remove tired leaves at the base. Fresh Air: Tolerates normal household airflow and is much less fussy than many tropical foliage plants. Plant Lore: Spider plants are famous pass-along plants because the babies are so easy to share.
