Spider Plant 'Bonnie' (Chlorophytum comosum 'Bonnie')
Chlorophytum comosum 'Bonnie'
Curled arching ribbons with clean cream center variegation — compact and pet-safe.
About This Botanical
A playful compact twist on the classic spider plant, Chlorophytum comosum 'Bonnie' (Curly Spider Plant) features charming curlicue ribbon foliage with bright cream center variegation. It stays naturally fuller and more compact than standard spider plants, making it a stellar botanical for tabletops, desks, and hanging planters.
Known for its robust adaptability and rapid production of cascading 'spiderettes' (offsets), Bonnie thrives in medium to bright indirect light and tolerates occasional dry-downs. Fully non-toxic to cats and dogs, it is one of the most reliable and rewarding indoor specimens for beginner and experienced growers alike.
