Chlorophytum comosum 'Variegatum'
variegated spider plant
Chlorophytum comosum 'Variegatum' is incredibly popular as it is so easy to grow - just place it in a well lit place, water, and watch it grow! As it matures it develops stems, each of which has a baby plant at its tip. These can be pegged down into compost, and when rooted the stem can be cut and you will have another plant - great for jumble sales or gifts for friends!

How to care for Chlorophytum comosum Variegatum:
Spider plant is low-maintenance but benefits from consistent care for best growth. Water freely during the active growing season in spring and summer, keeping the compost evenly moist, but reduce watering in winter to avoid soggy
Mist the foliage occasionally to raise humidity, especially in centrally heated rooms. Position in bright, indirect light and keep temperatures ideally between 60-75°F (16-24°C), avoiding drops below 46°F (8°C) in winter. Feed every 2-3 weeks with a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser during the growing months to support strong foliage and offsets.
Repot when roots become congested, usually every couple of years, refreshing the compost to maintain nutrients and vigour.
