As Sylvia brought her into the house she said, “Meet Spidey Junior.”

We’ve had a spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) in our home for most of our married life.  This plant will reduce air pollution in your home.  A house just doesn’t feel like a home to me without a spidey.

For the last decade we’ve only had one of these.  Sylvia brought this one home from the farm house after her father passed.  Thing were a bit crazy then and so she hung Junior from mom’s pot.  She’s still there today.  One of my next projects will have to be preparing a new home for Spidey Junior.

We also know this gal by her Spanish name, la mala madre (the bad mother).  They call her that because she kicks out her children.  Come to think of it, we do that too.
