Spider plant is a common household flower, and many flower lovers like to keep a few pots of spider plant at home. Of course, there are many varieties of spider plant, and the most common ones are the golden-edged spider plant and the golden-hearted spider plant. Because these spider plants are easy to propagate and easy to grow, they are widely loved by flower lovers.

Today I will share with you 5 other kinds of spider plant. Some of them are foliage spider plants, and some are flowering spider plants. As hanging plants they are very beautiful, and every one of them is very easy to propagate. Just pinch off a branch and stick it in a pot, and it can grow into a dense potted plant. In the later care process, the method is the same as growing ordinary spider plants. So the theme I am sharing with you today is:

These 5 are all called "spider plant", yet they are 100 times more beautiful than spider plant, excellent choices for hanging, flowering and foliage

1. Heartleaf ice plant (Aptenia cordifolia)

The heartleaf ice plant is a spider plant-type plant that can bloom. It has emerald green succulent leaves, and generally produces pink flowers every summer. The whole plant can be grown at home as a hanging plant, very grand and beautiful, and its propagation speed is very fast. Just pinch off a branch and stick it in a flower pot and it can quickly grow to fill the pot.

Growing method:

The heartleaf ice plant likes to grow in a ventilated, airy environment with scattered light. Therefore, it can be hung on the balcony. In this way the plant's leaves can grow emerald green and it will bloom on schedule. In daily care, the plant should be repotted and given fresh soil once every spring, which fully ensures nutrient supplementation. The heartleaf ice plant likes to grow in soil that drains and breathes well, and each watering should soak it through. In summer, besides normal watering, the leaves should also be misted. In early summer each year, spray the leaves with a 0.2% monopotassium phosphate water solution, which can promote flower bud development and produce beautiful flowers.

2. Lipstick plant (Aeschynanthus radicans)

The leaves of the lipstick plant are somewhat larger than those of the heartleaf ice plant, but the leaves of the whole plant are relatively sparse. It is called the lipstick plant because it can produce very bright red flowers. Summer and autumn each year are the flowering period of the lipstick plant; the plant is generally propagated by cuttings to get new potted plants, and it is a kind of spider plant that is very easy to propagate.

Growing method:

When growing the lipstick plant indoors, it is best to hang it up, so that the branches of the whole plant can hang down, which is very beautiful. If you want the lipstick plant to grow dense and vigorous, put it on a ventilated, airy balcony. If it stays in a shaded state for a long time, the lipstick plant easily develops yellow leaves and leaf drop. The plant likes to grow in fertile soil, so every spring, supplement fertilizer, and a compound fertilizer is the most suitable choice.

3. Goldfish plant (Nematanthus gregarius)

The small orange flowers produced by the goldfish plant look very much like little goldfish, and it generally blooms in autumn and winter each year. It is also a very popular spider plant variety. Home growing can be done by propagating from branch cuttings. During growth the whole plant has emerald green leaves and a dense form, making it a very ornamental household potted plant.

Growing method:

The goldfish plant is not picky about its growing environment. Generally, placing the pot on a windowsill or balcony is enough for it to grow dense and emerald green. It is a fertilizer-loving plant, so in spring and autumn each year fertilizer needs to be supplemented, and organic fertilizer and quick-acting fertilizer can be chosen. Before the flowering period arrives, you can spray phosphorus and potassium fertilizer on its leaves, which allows more flower buds to develop and produces beautiful flowers.

4. String of pearls (Senecio rowleyanus)

Its leaves are shaped like small oval pearls, so it is called string of pearls, and some people also call it Buddhist bead spider plant. It is also a succulent. In daily care, a dense potted plant can be obtained through cuttings. Hanging it at home is very beautiful, and it can produce small yellow flowers every winter.

Growing method:

String of pearls does not like water, so during care, first grow it in ventilated, airy sandy soil, and then each time you water, be sure to water only when the soil is dry and wet alternately, soaking it through each time. Do not let water accumulate in the flower pot, otherwise root rot easily occurs and causes the whole plant to die. In general care, you can hang it against a wall, or hang it directly on the balcony, which benefits the plant's growth.

5. Thousand-leaved spider plant (Muehlenbeckia complexa)

The thousand-leaved spider plant is a foliage flower. Its round little leaves are very emerald green, and its air-purifying ability is very strong. It can generally be placed on a desk or hung on a balcony, and it is very beautiful either way.

Growing method:

The thousand-leaved spider plant is a water-loving plant, so during care it needs frequent watering and frequent misting. But be sure not to let water accumulate in the pot, otherwise rot and yellow leaves will also occur. Place the pot in a spot with scattered light, and it can grow emerald green, dense leaves. It can generally be obtained as a potted plant through cutting propagation.

The 5 spider plant-type plants introduced above can not only serve as foliage potted plants, but can also produce beautiful flowers, and have high ornamental value when grown at home. Flower lovers who like them can try growing them themselves.
