A spider plant with a twist: the leaves arch and curl instead of staying straight, giving the whole plant a softer, more textured look. Available through early spring, it's an indoor grower that tolerates average conditions and adapts to most rooms in your home.

Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy, and provide bright, indirect light for the best leaf color. Mature plants send out runners with baby plantlets—let them dangle or snip them off to root in water for gifts or extra plants.
