Most likely 3 different plants. It’s hard to tell from your photos but there is a plant called a curly spider plant which grows different than a normal spider plant. They can have solid green leaves, variegated leaves with green on the outside and white stripes through the middle or you can have variegated with white on the outside and green stripes down the center. I have 4 different kinds myself. Although I do not have a curly spider yet.
@FamedGymealily thanks! It is some glassware I found at Goodwill!! I put one of my curly Spider plant pups in it with some rocks and water, I thought it was pretty and could now serve a purpose!
@Shells_Garden thanks for the information! Have you noticed a difference in the amount of direct sunlight the variegated Spider plant can tolerate versus the solid Green variety? I think it is fascinating to see all of the little plant quirks!😊
@MimiGreenthumb yes if you keep them in brighter light, the variegated colors will be brighter and they will grow faster. I have mine in various spots both inside and outside my home. I don’t keep any of them in direct sun. The ones outside are hanging under an awning. one gets indirect south sun and two get indirect west sun. I have two large ones inside right along west windows and a few smaller babies facing east with no natural sun so I have grow lights. The key things for spider plants is that they like consistently moist but not water logged soil and they prefer to be moderately rootbound or snug in their pot. That helps them produce the pups/babies/spidettes. I have a many plants that all started as babies from my mother plants.
