Chlorophytum comosum 'Variegatum' (Variegated Spider Plant) Plant Description Chlorophytum comosum 'Variegatum', commonly known as the Variegated Spider Plant, is a popular, low-maintenance houseplant recognized for its long, arching green leaves with creamy white margins. It produces small, star-shaped white flowers on long stems, followed by plantlets (spiderettes) that dangle from the mother plant, giving it a cascading appearance. The Spider Plant is hardy and well-known for its air-purifying properties and adaptability to various growing conditions. Native Range Native to South Africa, where it thrives in subtropical and tropical environments. USDA Hardiness Zones Zones: 9–11 (Can be grown indoors in all zones) Size Height: 12–18 inches tallWidth: 12–24 inches wide (can spread more with plantlets) Light Requirements Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Too much direct sunlight may scorch the leaves, while too little light can reduce variegation.
