    Hello All!

    Do the leaves on a Hawaiian Spider Plant ever curl like a Bonnie? I just purchased a spider plant and it was labeled a Hawaiian, but I'm beginning to think it's not.

    abigail,

    Do you have a photo of your new Hawaiian Spider Plant?

    The leaves of the Hawaiian are much broader then the Bonnie, or reg spider plant, The Hawaiian also has different colors in the leaves.
    Curling leaves can be a sign of under watering, or possible insects.

    This is the plant. Ironically, the plant to the right is a Bonnie.

    It sure looks like a Bonnie to me which I have, with the middle being white and the leaves on yours do look curly.
    Anymore it seems more and more plants are being mislabeled.
    It's disappointing to think your buying one kind of plant, only to find out it's something else :rolleyes:

    Hope you find one soon! I'm looking for one too...
