My wife had several plants but was never great with them, but all of my children have become plant people and my wife has raised her game. She loves her spider plant.

@engineer,
Laughing that's two for and two against spider plants. Will you be the tiebreaker? Do you love it?

@Joeblow,
It doesn't do much for me, but both kids in college love them. I think they must be an acquired taste.

@engineer,
Thats two Aainst, three (?) For, and one meh, though I sincerely believe that if you have one long enough, and it's your job to mind them, you and everybody would end up on the KILL them bandwagon

@Joeblow,
I got over spider plants as an indoor plant in the 70s. Here in so FL we have them outside as something that fills in space and keeps weeds at bay. We’ll past the 70s when I still lived up north and wanted indoor plants, it sure as hell wasn’t spider plants. I think we had Swedish Ivy and scheffleras (sp?)

@Ragman,
There's an idea. If they were outside, keeping weeds at bay. I might even like them Laughing Oh for your climate.

I had to look up schefflera, and discovered that Mame's umbrella tree is a type. They can get big, which explains her 14 footer.

(Edited to add I only just realised that Mame said schefflera in her first post, but I missed the word. My eye's went straight to umbrella.)
