Does a Spider Plant Flower?
What the bloom looks like
Tiny (under 1/2 inch) white 6-petaled star-shaped flowers appear in clusters at the tips of long arching runners. Each runner can carry both flowers and baby plantlets simultaneously.
How to trigger blooming
Maturity (1–2 years), bright indirect light, and slightly root-bound conditions. Spider plants flower more reliably than most foliage houseplants.
How long the bloom lasts
Individual flowers last only 1–2 days, but a single runner produces blooms over 2–4 weeks. The plant may produce multiple flowering runners simultaneously.
How likely is it indoors?
Common. Mature spider plants in good light flower reliably, usually in late spring through summer.
After blooming
Each spent flower can develop into a baby plantlet, so don't cut the runners. Leave runners attached until babies have 2 inches of roots, then propagate.
