Description
The Chlorophytum 'Variegatum', nicknamed Spider Plant or Variegated Spider Plant, forms a bright cascading foliage formed of long green leaves edged with white. Very easy to care for, this houseplant thrives in soft light and tolerates occasional watering lapses. Ehanced by small seedlings hanging from its stolons, its flexible and airy habit works wonders in hanging baskets or on a shelf. Natural, soothing, and purifying, it is also one of the easiest plants to maintain, ideal for those new to indoor gardening.
The Chlorophytum comosum belongs to the Asparagaceae botanical family. This 'Variegatum' variety stands out with its elongated, arching leaves measuring between 20 and 45 cm in length. The evergreen leaves display a glossy green hue accentuated by creamy-white margins, creating an elegant contrast. The plant produces thin, trailing stolons bearing seedlings ready for replanting, a characteristic that earned the Spider Plant its nickname.
Under ideal conditions, the Chlorophytum 'Variegatum' can reach 30 to 60 cm in height and spread. Its small, discreet yet charming white flowers appear at the ends of the stolons in summer. Growth is rapid, especially in bright conditions. The plant tolerates fluctuations in ambiant humidity thanks to its tuberous roots that store water. It prefers temperatures between 18 and 24°C and can withstand drops to 10°C.
Native to South Africa, the Chlorophytum comosum grows naturally in tropical and subtropical forests, often in the shade of trees where it enjoys high ambient humidity and mild temperatures. Introduced to Europe in the 19th century, it has since become a popular houseplant due to its hardiness and adaptability.
The Chlorophytum comosum is renowned for its air-purifying properties, particularly its ability to absorb pollutants such as formaldehyde and xylene from indoor air, thus helping to improve ambient air quality.
The Chlorophytum comosum ‘Variegatum’ is a decorative companion that easily fits into any bright room, from a kitchen to bathroom, living room, or conservatory. Its trailing habit enhances wall shelves, hanging baskets, or a stylish ceramic pot placed on a low table. Perfect for a boho-chic, minimalist, or even urban jungle style, it adds a light and lively botanical touch. It can be paired with plants sharing similar light and watering needs such as Golden Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) with their cascading leaves, a Ficus pumila for its delicate greenery, a Maranta leuconeura with its fascinating patterns, or a Tradescantia zebrina with its purple and silver hues.
By mixing these species, you can create a lush and balanced environment to enhance a bright corner of your home.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
