Since I believe I can see a tiny plant growing from the end of a leaf in photo 2, that would suggest the plant is one of the Chlorophytum species commonly called "Airplane plants" or spider plants". If that is what you are growing, it will spread and produce new offspring including tiny flowers off the end of the leaves. These display well in a hanging basket.
They certainly aren't Fric and Frack!! One is Chlorophytum comosum and the other is a Stapeliad. Can't ID the Stapeliad specifically until it blooms.
My spider plant is in bright indirect light and is super happy with babies galore! If the tips start going brownish, switch to rain water! Something in tap water makes them upset sometimes!
It's the hardness in tap water that ticks them off; if you have soft tapwater, then no worries. But Jenny, most Canucks have hard water unless they condition it. This is why a switch to rainwater (soft) perks the plant up.
Ah ha! Funny, I knew to use rainwater... just not why! Poor little canuck spiders... must be some angry ones out there! lol!
I am extremly curious how the exact species was determined on this plant? There are some 260 species of Chlorophytum listed on scientific sites and the determinations are often quite minute. I have never tried to learn about these in detail.
I'd guess on probability - C. comosum is the only one widely grown in cultivation away from the native areas of the genus. Though there must be a good possibility that some other species may occur in cultivation unrecognised, mislabelled as C. comosum.
Chlorophytum comosum is the only viviparous species in that ever expanding genus. Also, as Michael suspected, its typically the only species available to the general public.
