Bring Nature Indoors with a Variegated Spider Plant

The Variegated Spider Plant (Chlorophytum), native to South Africa, is a fantastic addition to any home. Known for its air-purifying qualities and ease of care, this houseplant is perfect for both beginner and experienced gardeners. Enjoy its attractive variegated leaves that can grow up to 2 feet long, with charming pups (new plantlets) dangling from mature plants.

Easy Care and Maintenance

This Chlorophytum plant is incredibly resilient and simple to care for. It thrives in pots and can tolerate drying out between waterings. Cooler temperatures, down to 50 degrees, are no problem for this hardy houseplant. While generally disease-resistant, keep an eye out for botrytis during shorter days, which can be prevented by ensuring good airflow and allowing the soil to dry between waterings.

What to Expect

Each Variegated Spider Plant arrives in a small, plug-size 1.23″ x 1.89″ nursery pot, ready to be transplanted into your favorite container. During winter months, we highly recommend adding a heat pack to your order, especially if you live in a colder climate. One heat pack can protect up to 24 plug-size plants or 8 plants in 3-4″ pots. Consider ordering multiple plants to maximize your shipping costs.

Shipping and Handling

Most orders are shipped via USPS. We recommend signing up for text notification updates from USPS to ensure your package is not left outside for extended periods. While we take great care in packaging and shipping healthy plants, please understand that each plant is unique and may vary slightly from the photos. If your plant arrives damaged beyond normal shipping stress, please notify us immediately with photos of the package and plants.
