Variegated spider plant

I adore spider plants (Chlorophytum comosum)! Why? I love how easy they are to propagate, thrive on neglect, quick growing and “clean” the air. My favourite is the variegated type with it’s striking leaves.
Spider plants have also been shown to reduce indoor air pollution in the form of formaldehyde, and approximately 15 plants would neutralize formaldehyde production in a house. See the link - http://ntrs.nasa.gov/search.jsp?R=19860066312

Once these cuttings are strong enough, I will use them to create a mini vertical garden.
