Chlorophytum comosum ‘Variegatum’ — Variegated spider plant
The Chlorophytum comosum ‘Variegatum’, better known as the variegated spider plant, is an essential indoor plant. Its soft green ribbon-like foliage edged with white brightens every corner and brings a touch of natural freshness to any interior.
Resistant, air-purifying, and very easy to care for, it adapts to all environments, from the living room to the kitchen, and thrives equally well in a pot or hanging.
Exposure & location
The Chlorophytum likes bright indirect light but also tolerates partial shade. It grows quickly in a well-lit space without direct sunlight.
- Ideal: near an east- or west-facing window.
- Avoid: direct sunlight, which can burn its thin leaves.
- Perfect location: shelf, furniture, hanging, or bright windowsill.
Verdeia tip: the more abundant the light, the sharper and more contrasted its white stripes become.
Watering & care
- Watering: regular but moderate — the soil should remain slightly moist without excess.
- Frequency: about once a week, more in summer if the air is dry.
- Humidity: tolerates indoor air well but appreciates gentle misting from time to time.
- Care: remove dry leaves and cut stolons if you want to limit its spread.
- Level: very easy — perfect for beginners and bright interiors.
If the tips brown, slightly increase ambient humidity or use non-calcareous water.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
The Chlorophytum is a flexible and bright plant, perfect for softening a contemporary interior or greening a shelf. Its drooping foliage creates a natural and airy movement.
- Visual look: drooping and graphic effect, ideal hanging or on a high piece of furniture.
- To pair with: Pothos, Syngonium, or Maranta for a contrast of textures.
- Ideal planter cover: hanging pot or colorful planter cover to highlight its green-white stripes.
- Where to place it: in the kitchen, living room, or bright bathroom.
Its drooping silhouette brings a bohemian and lively touch, perfect for modern interiors.
