I am successfully growing my *2nd* so-called Bonnie Spider Plant indoors. "Indoors", being the operative word here. I do not have many indoor plants as the outdoors keep me busy enough. But Bonnie surely is an attractive addition to my home...or rather, she COULD be!

The first Bonnie's new leaves never curled. So I put her outside where she promptly died. That was devastating and quite humbling to me since I rarely have plants just up and die. The Bonnies are truly my houseplant challenge. I have literally a yard full of reverse-variegated spider plant borders. This little lady with the supposedly curly top is giving me fits! Grumbling

The second Bonnie is growing well. But again her leaves are not curling at all!? I won't put her directly outside. This Bonnie is about to go out to the Greenhouse where she will get more all day sun (instead of just the afternoon) and yet be sort of indoors. But I thought I would mention it here to see if @Jo or anyone else might have a hint for me, anything short of a Lilt Perm?
