Description
Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum ‘Variegatum’)
Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal, but this tough plant also tolerates semi-shade and artificial lighting – perfect for homes, offices, and shaded patios.
Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings. Less water is needed in cooler months.
Soil: Prefers a well-draining potting mix. A mix designed for indoor plants works beautifully.
Climate: Thrives in moderate temperatures (15–25°C). Protect from frost. Excellent as an indoor plant or summer patio accent in temperate climates.
Growth Habit: A fast-growing, arching plant with long green-and-white striped leaves and baby “spiderettes” that dangle gracefully, creating a cascading effect. Mature size: approx. 30–45 cm tall, spreading up to 60 cm.
Benefits:
Air-purifying and non-toxic to pets.
Low-maintenance and beginner-friendly.
Ideal for hanging baskets, shelf edges, or bright bathrooms.
Care Tip: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Snip off brown leaf tips to keep it looking fresh.
