It is of the less-common summer-dormant type that retains its foliage from autumn through winter into spring, which would lend fantastic colour to the garden because its leaves are of a light, bright green and are palmately lobed.

Water and Soil: Plain old houseplant soil should suit your spider plant just fine. Keep it watered regularly. Spiders don’t really like to dry out, nor do they dig being super wet. For happy Spider plants, try to maintain a happy medium. Good drainage is also critical to keeping them healthy. The spiky foliage creates an exotic accent, and Yuccas are rated as one of the best plants for air-cleaning. Propagate by seed. Sow seeds outdoors after all danger of frost has passed or indoors 4-6 weeks before the last spring frost date.

They don’t mind heat, either, so feel free to arrange them somewhere near your sun lamp. Duo-tones: Go for red-spotted creamy ‘Ladybird’; splotchy purple and gold ‘Bloody Mary’; ‘Peach Melba’ for soft orange and raspberry hues; and sizzling ‘Orchid Flame’ with its soft lemon and blush pink petals.
