Chlorophytum comosum 'Bonnie' is the curly, compact cousin of the classic spider plant. Its narrow leaves twist and curl as they grow, giving the plant a lively, informal shape that sets it apart from the straight-leaved varieties. Each leaf is striped with a central band of cream against a bright green margin, and mature plants produce long, arching stolons tipped with miniature plantlets that cascade over the edge of the pot. It is one of the most cheerful and easy-going houseplants available: fast-growing, forgiving, and happy in a wide range of indoor conditions. 

Origins
Chlorophytum comosum is native to the tropical and subtropical regions of southern and eastern Africa, where it grows as an evergreen perennial in forest margins, rocky outcrops, and riverbanks.

Soil and Substrate
Chlorophytum comosum 'Bonnie' is not fussy about substrate, but it performs best in a well-draining, general-purpose mix that does not hold excessive moisture. Our Simply Houseplant Tropical Potting Mix suits it well: a balanced peat-free mix with coco coir, bark, and perlite that provides consistent moisture with reliable drainage.
