Variegated Spider Plant, scientifically known as Chlorophytum comosum 'Variegatum', is a popular and enduring houseplant loved for its ease of care and attractive, arching foliage. It can grow in a wide range of conditions and suffers from very few problems, other than brown tips. This particular cultivar features leaves that are striped with white and green, giving it a fresh and vibrant look. Spider Plants are known for their air-purifying abilities, as they can effectively remove pollutants from indoor environments. They produce small white flowers on long stems, and as the plant matures, these stems can develop into baby Spider Plants or "pups" that dangle from the mother plant like spiders on a web, which is how it got its common name.

What to expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.

Pro tips

Fertilize your Variegated Spider Plant every month during the spring and summer with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Browning of leaf tips is quite normal and will not harm the plant. This is often the result of either lower humidity or fluoride found in water, which causes a salt buildup in the soil. If this is the case, allow the water to sit out overnight before watering, or use rain or distilled water. Repotting is rarely needed, but you can do so if the plant becomes root-bound or the pups overcrowd the pot.

Care Guide

How to take care of Spider Plant Variegated

Sun: Indirect

Variegated Spider Plant should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Medium - Low

Variegated Spider Plant will thrive in medium to bright light, but also can tolerate low light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed almost anywhere in the room but remember, plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When mostly dry

Variegated Spider Plant likes the soil to be relatively dry before the next watering. That usually takes about two weeks in an average home environment. It may vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but for them, it's always safer to underwater or water when you see signs of lack of water (i.e. droopy, floppy, or soft leaves). Water more often in the warmer months!

Humidity: Any

Variegated Spider Plant can live in any average home humidity condition and are fairly hardy.

Pet Friendly

You can feel comfortable having Variegated Spider Plant around your home in the potential case where your pet feels like nibbling on it. However, we typically recommend keeping your pets from eating any of your houseplants.
