LOL.

We call them airplane plants, and I think some call them “spider” plants, since we hillbillies don’t speak Latin or Greek, whatever language them folks that name plant species use.

They are a hanging plant, with long slender green and white leaves. They grow long stems from them with miniature “airplane” plants hanging down. These smaller ones are cut to start new ones. I have one HUGE plant (my aunt, the one who died at 94 years old last Oct.) gave me my cutting and I have shared cuttings with many others. made lots of starts off mine and have several baskets of them.

They are a common houseplant, you probably know them by another name there.
