I have what may be fifth or sixth generation of a spider plant found growing on a trash heap in Center City, Philadelphia in 1969. It has evolved to nearly indestructible, and I actually believe it takes itself to the sink for water at night after a period of neglect. It sits indoors during the winter wherever there is room and outdoors in summer. It gets re-potted occasionally and just as occasionally a plant food stick might be stuck into the soil. It is currently full of blossoms and offsets and surrounded by a half-dozen rooted "children." Innumerable other offspring live in the homes of friends and acquaintances.
Benign neglect is the key.
