Wavyribbon foliage gives this spider plant a looser, softer look than the straight-leaved type. It grows at an easy pace in moderate indoor light and tolerates the dry air of a heated room without complaint.

Pick one up in fall or winter when you're ready to tuck it onto a shelf or hang it where those ruffled runners can trail. Water it when the soil dries out and you've got a low-fuss green plant that fills space for years.
