Spider Plant – Easy-Care Indoor Favourite
Spider Plant (scientific name Chlorophytum comosum) is one of the best all-round houseplants available. With its arching green or variegated leaves and trailing “baby” off-shoots, this indoor gem brings lush texture, effortless style and even air-purifying benefits to any space. Whether you’re looking to buy spider plant for your apartment, office or family home, this plant ticks all the boxes for beginner-friendly, stylish, low-maintenance indoor greenery.
Key Features
- Outstanding foliage and form: Spider plant features long, narrow leaves that are either solid green or strikingly variegated (green and white stripes) with cascading stems that produce “spiderettes” (small off-shoot plants) for extra interest.
- Indoor or sheltered outdoor use in Australia: Thrives in bright, indirect light and tolerant of lower light conditions — making it ideal for Aussie homes, balconies or offices.
- Low-maintenance and resilient: A top choice for beginners — it tolerates neglect, irregular watering and adapts well to indoor climates.
- Great for air quality: Known to help improve indoor air by filtering pollutants like formaldehyde and xylene (while not a substitute for ventilation, it supports a healthy indoor environment).
- Highly propagable: Spider plant produces “babies” on trailing stems that can be easily potted up — a fun and cost-effective way to grow your own indoor jungle.
Growing Tips for Australian Conditions
- Light: Bright, filtered light is ideal. Avoid direct harsh afternoon sun through west-facing windows which can scorch the leaves. A spot near an east or north window with indirect light works well.
- Watering: Water when the top 2-3 cm of the potting mix feels dry. Do not let the roots sit in soggy soil — root-rot is the most common failure. Use good drainage.
- Soil & Pot: Use a well-draining indoor plant mix (for example a lightweight peat-free mix with perlite). Choose a pot only slightly larger than the root ball as spider plants like being a little pot-bound.
- Temperature & Humidity: Perfect for typical Australian indoor climates (approx. 15-30 °C). Avoid cold drafts and extremes. Average humidity is fine, though in very dry winter indoor air you may mist occasionally.
- Maintenance: Remove any yellowing or brown-tipped leaves. If you see brown tips, it may be due to fluoride/chlorine in tap water — consider using filtered or rain-water occasionally.
- Propagation: Gently cut or detach a plantlet (spiderette) that has formed roots and plant it in fresh potting mix — easy and fun for beginners.
If you’re ready to buy spider plant, here are some reasons: this resilient, attractive indoor plant suits all levels of gardening experience, brings life to shady spots, and offers long-term enjoyment with minimal fuss. Add one (or several) to your home today and enjoy instant green appeal and natural texture in any space.

Cornford's Plato Cosmology/Timaeus
Format: Paperback
This is an excellent and invaluable reference book for Plato's Timaeus. If you are reading Timaeus you MUST have this book. It contains line-by-line commentary, and also, most valuable, some very helpful illustrations (example: illustration of the human body as Timaeus explained it). I would, however, balance this book with other books that attempt to place Timaeus within the rest of Plato's works. I recommend, for example, Peter Kalkavage's Timaeus. There, he attempts to link Timaeus and Republic.

Plato's dialogue about the physical world
Format: Paperback
The two biggest topics in the Timaeus are astronomy and the elements of bodies, which are constructed using triangles and the tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron, and cube. I would like to see a translation of the Timaeus that uses it as a way to introduce all the astronomy that appears in the dialogue. Introducing the astronomy does not mean just talking in words about spheres or the zodiac or the ecliptic, but actually explaining how these were used by astronomers. Cornford has much to say, but to someone who has not learned any Greek astronomy his commentary will be opaque and hard to use. I didn't know the astronomy well enough to readily understand Cornford's explanations. I plan to learn more classical Greek astronomy, perhaps using Evans'
, and then read Waterfield's translation of the Timaeus
.
Before reading this you should have read the Republic and know some classical Greek natural philosophy, mathematics, and astronomy. Although Cornford's commentary makes the dialogue staccato, I am glad for it because I wouldn't otherwise have understood much of what Plato says. The Timaeus and the Parmenides are the two dialogues of Plato that one needs commentary to understand; the Parmenides demands the commentary because so much of what is happening depends on the original language, and the Timaeus demands the commentary because of all the things the reader is supposed to be familiar with.
The following is a list of topics I kept while reading the dialogue: theory of Forms 27d-28a, 51a-52a; harmonics 35b-36b; time 37c-38e, 39b-e; vision 45b-46c, 67c-68d; space 52b; surfaces 53c; weight 62d-63e; sound 67a-67c; physiology 70c-79e, 80d-86a; antiperistasis 79e-80c.

Helpful, but Waterfield is better for an intro
Format: Paperback
This is basically a scholarly paragraph-by-paragraph commentary on the Timaeus. It's really good for what it is, but I don't recommend it as your first introduction to the Timaeus -- rather, I recommend Waterfield:
http://www.amazon.com/Timaeus-Critias-Oxford-Worlds-Classics-ebook/dp/B006NTMD16
A problem with using Cornford as an introduction is that he comments on everything, and it's hard to figure out what the main themes are. I tried reading Cornford as an intro and gave it up, but once I'd read Waterfield I found Cornford extremely helpful both in elucidating passages further than Waterfield does, and in interpreting passages Waterfield doesn't cover. So if you're looking to learn about the Timaeus, I'd suggest Waterfield first and Cornford second (or Cornford alongside Waterfield).
