Description

The listing, Spider Plant has ended.

Spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum)

Even if you tend to neglect houseplants, you’ll have a hard time killing this resilient plant. With lots of rich foliage and tiny white flowers, the spider plant battles benzene, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and xylene, a solvent used in the leather, rubber and printing industries.
I have had this plant for twenty years. It has been clipped hundereds of times, all the babies have thrived. This plant came from a clipping from my mother's 60 year old plant, which was from my grandmother's, which was from her mom's.
I have at times neglected this plant and nearly killed it. It has come back strong every time, and is very healthy now. I will ship three babies to the winner. I'm sure that all will thrive, but even if one doesn't make it, you'll have back up.

Questions & Comments

Is this for the whole plant?

This auction is for three babies from this plant, not the mother plant. I'm sure all three will produce a new plant, but I am sending three to be sure at least one plant survives.

Is this the curly one

Sep 24th, 2013 at 11:52:41 PM PDT by

The leaves are not twisty like a spiral, I've seen some like that. These arch in a very elegant way. I have another that was clipped from this, the leaves are very long ang are growing almost straight up.

No. The leaves are not twisty like a spiral, I've seen some like that. These arch in a very elegant way. I have another that was clipped from this, the leaves are very long ang are growing almost straight up.

How is it shipped? Wet paper towel wrapped in tinfoil in a box?

Sep 29th, 2013 at 7:42:45 PM PDT by

Yes, wet paper towel. I will also put it in a hard case and send it in a bubble mailer. As long as it is recieved and cared for within a week there should be no issues.
I had one sent to me once. It was in a ziplock bag with a paper towel in a bubble mailer. I forgot about it in my car for about a week, after I recieved it. When I remembered it, the poor thing was all brown and limp. I planted it just to see what would happed. It not only lived, it is the mother of the babies I'm auctioning here :)
I hope to send it in better style. I am totally confident these little guys will do great.
