I believe its a type of spider plant but not sure. the plant is growing perfectly fine as you can see but I have noticed that some of her limbs have been turning a red shade was hoping that someone would know why and give me some info on my baby :) thanks...

fluffy is correct. As the leaves age , and are exposed to light , they develop more red . The plant looks good . Keep doing what you've been doing .

Reply:Madagascar Dragon Tree, a native of Madagascar, is one of the old standard houseplants. These trees will slowly reach about 12 feet (4 m) in height, and the smooth gray stems tend to twist as they grow giving them an artistic appearance. They have narrow sword-shaped leaves that are up to 2 foot (60 cm) long by ? inch (1 cm) wide. The plants are easy to grow and tolerate a wide array of conditions.

You can propagate them by cuttings in the spring
Reply:that is naturally occuring on the plant. you probably have a red version of thr plant and once the palnt gets older there will be more red on the plant
Reply:it looks like it needs some plant food high in phosphorus like miricle grow 15-52-15 or anything else that the middle number is higher but make sure not to give it to much because it only really needs phosphorus
Reply:that is a Draceana Marginata, the red shading is natural.

it is not a spider plant.
