Do not put Spider Plant in a rabbit bowl—not meant for bunnies.

Spider Plant

Chlorophytum comosum

No—do not feed spider plants to rabbits, guinea pigs, or chinchillas. Chlorophytum comosum is a hanging houseplant, not forage, and store pots may carry fertilizer or spray residue even when the plant itself is not a classic poison. Keep baskets and pots out of reach. Do not confuse it with ribbon plant (lucky bamboo), which is poisonous. Unlimited grass hay stays the main meal.

Guideline: Never Feed

Type: Indoor Plants

Other Names: Spider plants, spider ivy, airplane plant, Chlorophytum, hen and chickens plant, spider plantlets

Spider plant is a popular hanging houseplant with long arching green leaves, often striped cream or white, and small plantlets that dangle on thin stems. It is Chlorophytum comosum—not the same plant as ribbon plant (lucky bamboo / Dracaena) sold in water jars.
