A light, airy plant with arching white-striped leaves – easy to care for, safe for cats and dogs, and it sends out little hanging plantlets.
Description
Spider Plant Atlantic is a compact chlorophytum with arching, curly leaves – green with creamy white edges. Its airy shape suits shelves, tables and hanging pots, and over time it sends out stems carrying small hanging plantlets.
Why Spider Plant Atlantic?
- Safe for cats and dogs (ASPCA).
- Easy care that forgives the odd missed watering.
- Curly striped leaves that add movement to a shelf.
- Gives you new plants to pot up.
Where to put it
In a living room, bedroom, office or at a kitchen window, in bright, indirect light. It looks lovely on a high shelf or in a hanging pot so the plantlets can trail.
Care in the Saudi climate
- Light: bright, indirect light; it copes with medium light but the white stripes fade.
- Water: when the top 2–3 cm of soil are dry, without leaving water in the saucer.
- Water quality: sensitive to fluoride; filtered water means fewer brown tips.
- Air: dry AC air can dry the tips; keep it away from vents.
- Feeding: a light feed once a month in spring and summer.

Three quick questions.
We'll tell you whether Spider Plant Atlantic suits your space, and which height to pick.
Three things to get right.
Lighting
Likes bright, indirect light near a window, which keeps the white stripes clear. It copes with medium light; strong direct sun burns the tips.
Watering
Water when the top 2–3 cm are dry until water runs from the holes, then empty the saucer. Its fleshy roots store water, so there's no need to water often.
Temperature & humidity
Normal home temperatures suit it. It dislikes hard cold and direct AC draughts.

Yes. The spider plant is non-toxic to cats and dogs on ASPCA's plant list. Cats like to nibble it, and eating a lot of any plant can cause a mild upset stomach.
