The ultimate beginner plant — and a pet owner's best friend. The Hawaiian Spider Plant is one of the most cheerful, resilient houseplants you can own. Its arching green and cream-striped leaves cascade gracefully from the pot, and over time it sends out long runners tipped with baby "spiderettes" — little plantlets you can propagate and share. NASA-rated air purifier, completely pet-safe, and nearly impossible to kill.
