Grown in a healthy 4-inch nursery pot, this beginner-friendly favourite is well known for its air-filtering reputation and for readily producing baby \"spiderette\" plantlets that dangle from long stems. It's a great pick for Vancouver homes looking for an easy, rewarding plant to grow and share.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFeature Highlights\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLive Plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealthy Nursery Grown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-Inch Pot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Care\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndoor Plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBotanical Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChlorophytum comosum belongs to the Asparagaceae family and is native to coastal regions of South Africa.
