Most people surely know Chlorophytum comosum by its common name, spider plant. It's another ubiquitous houseplant that is hard to kill. This one is a green specimen, though the variegated variety is far more popular (students who know me, know I'll chose against variegation almost every time).
Spider plant is easy to propagate because the plant sends out long stolons on which leaves sprout. Where nodes would normally occur, adventitious roots develop. These "babies" can be placed in soil and root quite easily.
Chlorophytum literally means "green plant" which makes this the most boring etymology story, ever.
