I purchased a solid green Spider plant about 25 years ago.
This variety is very vigorous. Mine gets to be about 2 1/2' wide by 3 1/2' or more in length (including the trailing plantlets) in about 1 year. At this time the plant is "very" root bound.
Every year, during the summer, I snip off a nice sized plantlet, chuck the mother plant in the compost pile and pot up the baby. Then I'm good for another year. This plant produces a phenomenal root mass in 1 years time. My 1 gal. pot is completely filled with roots in 1 year. Nice, easy to care for plant. The white flowers are a little messy. Also, don't let these plants get to dry, or you'll have ugly shriveled and brown tips on the leaves.
