Spider plants can be called the masters of indoor air purification, and many people grow them. But there are many varieties of spider plants, mostly grown hanging or on flower stands. Some look like waterfalls, some like flowers scattered by a heavenly maiden, and some are small and dainty. Today the editor introduces six beautiful trailing flowers, collectively called spider plants, so that everyone can choose the ones they like.

Purple Moon (Othonna capensis), one of the succulent trailing varieties, has very unusual leaves; with sufficient sunlight, the stems change from green to purplish-red. It grows extremely fast and is the easiest variety to fill a pot; once the root system is well established, it grows explosively like crazy. Among all trailing succulent plants, it should be the fastest growing. It is also very easy to propagate: cut off a segment of stem, let the wound dry, then insert it into the growing medium or lay it flat and half-bury it in the pot soil, and mist the cutting and medium to moisten them.

Chlorophytum viridescens 'Hawaiian' (Thousand-Leaf Spider Plant). It can absorb harmful gases in the air such as formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nicotine and benzene. The plant grows creeping and clumping or in a hanging form, with slender reddish-brown stems. The small leaves are alternate, heart-shaped or round. Its plant shape is full, with graceful branches and leaves, and it has high ornamental value. It is suitable for hanging basket cultivation or placed on a high stand or on top of a cabinet, with the stems and leaves drooping naturally and covering the entire pot, like a green ball, very attractive. It is robust in habit, likes a warm and humid environment, and can grow normally in both full sunlight and partial shade.

Variegated Star Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides 'Variegatum'). It is an evergreen woody vine with inconspicuous lenticels on the stems. The young branches, young leaf stalks and leaf undersides are covered with short soft hairs, while old branches and leaves are hairless. It is a light-loving and strongly shade-tolerant plant that likes environments with relatively high air humidity. It can be used as a year-round "flowering" plant for various flower border arrangements, and it is also an excellent material for potted plants. The ornamental value of variegated star jasmine is reflected in three levels of leaf color, namely the color group composed of red leaves, pink-red leaves, pure white leaves, variegated leaves and green leaves, extremely resembling a cluster of blooming flowers, extremely gorgeous and colorful, especially best in the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn.

Tradescantia zebrina. It grows rapidly and can cover a full pot in 1 year. The branches and leaves creep and hang down, and the leaf color is a mix of purple, green and silver, dazzling. Place it on a high stand or on top of a cabinet and let it droop naturally, or grow it in a hanging pot for appreciation. It can also be placed above a windowsill and allowed to hang down to form a green curtain. In courtyard cultivation it is often used for overall arrangements. The leaves of the plant can sometimes turn green; at this time, they should be removed promptly to prevent all the leaves of the whole plant from turning green.

Million Hearts (Dischidia ruscifolia) is a perennial evergreen herbaceous vine with opposite leaves. Although the dark green leaves are small, they are very thick and feel textured to the touch, and are not easy to break. The leaf color stays green all year round. It is heat-tolerant, drought-tolerant and shade-tolerant; it likes humidity and prefers a partial shade environment, and is relatively drought-tolerant. Million Hearts can not only be grown as a small potted plant, but can also be used in floral design. Choose a special pot and add a little ingenuity to present a different style, or let it climb on a wall or tree trunk for beautification. Million Hearts does not need much management, and is also one of the entry-level plants that gardening beginners can choose.

String of Pearls spider plant is also called pearls. The leaf shape and color are quite beautiful, growing in a creeping form, and it can be hung to trail down; it has high ornamental value and is also one of the more popular succulent varieties. For String of Pearls spider plant, keeping the soil moisture slightly dry is enough; the soil must not be too wet, otherwise the pearls will rot. With this kind of care, the pearls will slowly grow larger! More emerald green and plump, raising the ornamental value.
