Bonnie | Spider Plant

With a glorious tangle of curls and an opinion on everything happening outside the window, Bonnie makes herself at home quickly. She’s warm, a little nosy, and convinced your afternoon catch-up could have been longer.

She calls it being observant. Ryder calls it minding everyone else’s business.

Bonnie brings a playful tumble of green to your shelf, desk, or favorite hanging planter. Her hair has never behaved, and she sees no reason to start now.

Her perfect match? Someone who enjoys a little cheerful company, appreciates an unconventional hairstyle, and doesn’t mind telling their plant how their day went.

The Spider plant produces small white flowers that grow along a long stalk independent to the leaves of the spider plant. Also known for their air purifying qualities, the spider plant is a great companion to any household of office.

  Bonnie’s Preferred Window Seat

  Bonnie loves a good windowsill. Not just for the sunshine, mind you. She likes to keep an eye on the neighborhood.

  • East-Facing Window | Her Favorite: Gentle morning sunshine and a front-row seat to the neighborhood waking up. The perfect place to catch up on everyone’s business.
  • North-Facing Window | Quite Acceptable: Soft, indirect light. Growth may be a little slower, but Bonnie has plenty of time to observe.
  • West-Facing Window | With Reservations: Afternoon sunshine can be a bit much for her delicate curls. A sheer curtain will keep her comfortable without obstructing the view.
  • South-Facing Window | Only With Proper Accommodations: Bright light is lovely, but harsh direct sunlight is not. She’ll appreciate a sheer curtain or a spot slightly back from the glass.

  A Word From Bonnie: “I’m not nosy, love. I’m simply very well informed.”

  Care Note: Keep Bonnie away from cold window glass and chilly drafts during winter. Bright, indirect light helps her maintain her beautiful green-and-cream curls.
