Curly 'Bonnie' Spider Plant in Resin Elephant

This whimsical looking elephant I found needed a whimsical plant to go with it... and I had just the one!

The common name for the curly spider plant is the Bonnie Spider Plant or Curly Spider Plant. Its scientific name is Chlorophytum comosum 'Bonnie'. It is a smaller, compact cultivar of the traditional spider plant, distinguished by its distinctive swirly, and curly leaves.

To care for a curly spider plant, provide bright, indirect light and water when the top inch of soil is dry, allowing excess water to drain. Maintain temperatures between 50–80°F (10–27°C) and use well-draining soil to prevent root rot, which is a common issue. Use filtered water to avoid brown leaf tips from fluoride and chemicals, and fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with a diluted liquid fertilizer.

The exterior diameter of the plant opening is 2 inches and there is a drilled hole in the bottom for proper drainage.
