Is it true that spider plants absorb some contaminants inside the home??

Question

Are they poisonous or not??

What do people mean when they say their spider plants have "babies"?

Answer 1

Yes, Chlorophytum comosum does absorb airborne contaminants.

I ate a plantlet from the end of a stolon when I was a child, but that doesn't mean that if I ate more them one or an older plant that I would not have become ill.

spider plants regularly send out stolons and at the end the produce a clone of the mother plant. These clones are what people are referring to when they say their plant had babies. Clone is more accurate because because an embryonic state was never induced, in fact under any form of vegetative reproduction clone is the appropriate word. Only when the plant is produced by seed should it ever be referred to as a baby.

My apologies for that but stating a plants source incorrectly is a pet peeve of mine.
