The Spider Plant 'Hawaiian' brings a fuller, more tropical feel to the classic spider plant. With broader, more richly green leaves than standard varieties, the Hawaiian has a lush, dense growth habit that fills out pots beautifully and produces long arching stems of baby spiderettes as it matures. It's the spider plant for people who want more presence — more volume, more drama, more green.
Like all spider plants, it's nearly indestructible, pet-safe, and one of the best air-purifying plants you can bring indoors. But the Hawaiian takes those qualities and wraps them in a more substantial, more visually impressive package.

Fun Facts About Spider Plant 'Hawaiian'
Spider plants are one of the most studied houseplants for air purification — NASA's Clean Air Study identified Chlorophytum comosum as one of the top plants for filtering formaldehyde, xylene, and carbon monoxide from indoor air. The Hawaiian variety's broader, denser leaf surface means more surface area for gas exchange, making it an even more effective air purifier than standard spider plant varieties.
The spiderettes — those baby plantlets that trail from long arching stems — are one of the most charming features of any spider plant. They can be snipped off and rooted in water or soil in just a few weeks, making the Hawaiian one of the easiest houseplants to propagate and share.
Pro Care Tips
Use filtered water: Spider plants are sensitive to fluoride and chlorine — filtered or distilled water prevents brown leaf tips
Let it trail: A hanging basket or elevated shelf shows off the arching spiderette stems at their best
Propagate freely: Snip spiderettes and root in water — they root quickly and make great gifts
Don't overwater: Root rot is the primary risk — always let the top inch of soil dry between waterings
Repot when crowded: Every 1–2 years or when roots begin to crowd the pot — spider plants actually bloom and produce more spiderettes when slightly root-bound

Alocasia Variegated Frydek Brandie Perry
The plant did not arrive in great shape. However, it was an alocasia and I did not add insulation so this is not on the seller (and we all know alocasia does not travel well anddddd they come back)
From start to finish the transaction was amazing. They gave me a discount for my next order even though I didn't ask for one because I knew the risks, and they continued to answer my questions and help me! Will def order again from them and would encourage others to as well!
