[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 175038, member: 29323"] I know it sounds like a joke question, but it's not. Does anyone use spider plants (Chlorophytum comosum) in their enclosures? I keep thinking I ought to make my stirmi's enclosure nicer for her & it occurred to me that spider plants have several advantages. 1. They are robust plants with a reputation for being able to thrive in less than ideal conditions. 2. They are one of the better plants for purifying air. 3. They do not need as much sunlight as most plants. NASA conducted a number of tests on plants to see if they could help make our homes better places to live. I believe they even tried them on the ISS. The following is a link to the NASA report. [URL]https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19930073077.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
