Planto are you a water person? I have had spider plants for years and years. I did not think you could kill a spider plant unless you put it outside in the winter under snow. That was how I killed my spider plants.

My mom had a spider plant in her laundry room that was so dark if you did not turn the lights on you could not see your hands in front of your face. Every winter she would go to my sister's house in Georgia for the winter. She would return in March. We did not water it or even go down to the laundry room and that plant would still be alive when she came home.

The things I know you can grow in the dark and water is a spider plant and Snake plant, and rubber tree. The way to kill a plant is too much water. Every winter I put the snake plant and the spider plant before I killed it and the rubber trees in the coldest room in the house and I do not water them all winter.

If people have a need to water plants I suggest they get a squirt bottle and walk around and squirt the plants.

I kill every Prayer plant, Begonia, Orchid and Calathea plant. Oh and Gardenias. Anything that needs exact amount of water or plants that do not like to be dry die in my hands. Orchids want water but just enough, the enough I have not been able to figure out.

Lin that is so pretty as a ground cover. I saw someone buy silk spider plants and put it around a tree as ground cover. I laughed all day when I saw that. They could have brought sedge cheaper and had the same effect. Silk flowers are expensive.
