Meaning and Origin:
The spiderplant, scientifically known as Chlorophytum comosum, is a popular houseplant native to South Africa. It is believed to have earned its name from the small, spider-like plantlets that grow at the tips of its long runners. These plantlets resemble tiny spiders hanging from a thread.
The genus name, Chlorophytum, is derived from Greek words meaning "green plant." The specific epithet, comosum, means "with a tuft of hair," referring to the bushy growth of the plant.
