Long arching stems carry small white flowers and then tiny plantlets, so one plant soon becomes several. It needs very little care and is generally regarded as non-toxic to cats and dogs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhite-edged leaves.\u003c\/strong\u003e The crisp white edges lighten a dim corner and look fresh against dark pots and walls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree new plants.\u003c\/strong\u003e Dangling plantlets can be repotted to share around, or left on the plant for a fuller look.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVery easy.\u003c\/strong\u003e Regular water in the growing season and bright, indirect light are nearly all it asks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGentle around pets.\u003c\/strong\u003e Spider plants are generally regarded as non-toxic to cats and dogs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMany uses.\u003c\/strong\u003e It suits hanging baskets, indoor shelves and underplanting in shaded tropical gardens.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHanging baskets.\u003c\/strong\u003e A single plant fills a hanging pot as the arching leaves and plantlets spill over the edge, so it is a good choice for a verandah or a bright window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndoor shelves and tables.\u003c\/strong\u003e Put it somewhere with bright, indirect light and let the leaves arch outwards.
