Spider Ivy

Spider Ivy is a plant that appears in the game Plants vs. Zombies: Suburbia Defenders. It is unlocked after completing Path B of Ghastly Graveyard.
Spider Ivy slowly creates an Egg Sac, stopping its work to bite Zombie that get too close to it. After completing the egg sac, Spider Ivy will stand on top of it, biting Zombies up to a half-tile away.
When the egg sack is destroyed, it releases 12 Baby Ivys in a 3x3 area, which rush down the lane and jump onto Zombies in their way, biting them at a rate of 2 bites per second. After the egg sac is destroyed, Spider Ivy will begin making a new one. If the egg sac is not destroyed after 45 seconds, it will break open and give you a free Spider Ivy seed packet.
== Origin: ==
Spider Ivy is based on the Chlorophytum comosum, also known as spider plant or spider ivy, and the common spider. Its ability references egg sacs, bundles of silk that spider lay their eggs in.
==Plant Food==
When Spider Ivy uses a Plant Food, Spider Ivy will create and launch its egg sack down the lane. Whenever it hits a Zombie, it will bounce off it and release 3 Baby Ivys in its lane and lanes next door.

==Strategies==
While Spider Ivy seems like a fairly poor choice for a Defensive Plant due to its high cost and the time it takes to create an egg sac, remember that it can rebuild its defense or give you a free copy of itself after a while. Due to this, it may be a good idea to place a Spider Ivy in the back of your defenses to slowly produce copies of itself. The mini Spider Ivys are also helpful at clearing lanes, as they can tear through a group of weak Zombies easily due to their quick attack speed and swarmy nature. Overall, Spider Ivy is a good defensive Plant with a good amount of versitality that easily makes up for its high sun cost and slow recharge.    
Try to use Spider Ivy at the beginning of your defenses to take advantage of its egg sac and spider swarm, and it may be a good idea to support it with slowing Plants like Winter Melon to allow the Baby Ivys to do maximum damage.
