Chlorophytum comosum 'Variegatum'

Chlorophytum comosum 'Variegatum' is a variegated spider plant cultivar with arching green leaves edged in white to cream. It grows from a central rosette and develops a graceful cascading outline as the leaves lengthen and mature flower stems begin to carry small plantlets.

The pale margins create a ribboned edge along each strap-shaped leaf, with a green centre running through the rosette. Mature plants can produce thin arching stems with small white flowers, followed by young plantlets that root easily once they form small root initials.

Classic striped spider plant traits

  • Variegated spider plant cultivar with green centres and pale leaf margins
  • Arching rosette growth with narrow strap-shaped leaves
  • Produces small white flowers and hanging plantlets on mature stems
  • Fleshy roots store moisture and fill containers strongly over time
  • ASPCA-listed as non-toxic to cats and dogs

Botanical origin and variegated growth

Chlorophytum comosum belongs to the Asparagaceae family and is native across parts of tropical Africa into southern Africa. The species grows as a perennial with tufted leaves, fleshy roots, and flowering stems that can carry both flowers and plantlets.

'Variegatum' is a cultivated variegated form of Chlorophytum comosum. Its green-centred leaves with pale margins create a clear striped effect, especially once the leaves arch over the pot. The plant’s thick roots help it cope with short dry phases and can fill a container quickly during active growth.

Care for arching variegated growth

  • Light: Set in bright indirect light or gentle morning/evening sun. Strong midday sun can scorch the pale margins and leave dry marks.
  • Watering: Give a thorough soak once the upper substrate has dried, then let the pot drain fully. The thick roots cope well when the upper substrate dries before the next soak.
  • Substrate: Choose a well-drained houseplant mix with enough openness for thick roots. Perlite, fine bark, or pumice helps prevent compaction.
  • Temperature: Maintain temperatures above 15°C for steady growth. Cool wet conditions can damage the fleshy roots.
  • Humidity: Regular room humidity is suitable. Dry heated air can contribute to tip browning, especially on older leaves.
  • Feeding: Apply a mild fertiliser during spring and summer. A light schedule keeps growth steady and limits salt stress in the root zone.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots press firmly against the pot or water runs through too quickly. Divide crowded clumps during repotting if desired.
  • Pruning: Remove dry tips, spent flower stems, and old plantlets with clean scissors. Keep the central crown clear and dry after watering.
  • Propagation: Root plantlets in substrate once small roots are visible, or divide mature clumps with several growth points.
  • Summer outdoors: Warm sheltered shade suits seasonal placement. Acclimate gradually and bring indoors before cool nights return.

Tips, roots and runner signals

  • Brown tips: Check water quality, watering pattern, dry air, and fertiliser salts. Low-mineral or rainwater can help where tap water causes repeated tip burn.
  • Yellowing and soft roots: Usually points to a wet, compacted root zone. Check drainage and repot into a more open mix if needed.
  • Scorched pale margins: Move the plant out of direct sun and trim only fully dry tissue.
  • Few plantlets: Younger plants often need more time before sending out runners. Very rich feeding can also favour leaves over plantlet production.

Offsets and repotting signs

Chlorophytum comosum can fill a pot with thick white storage roots. A crowded root system can reduce water retention in the substrate, so a plant that dries unusually fast may be ready for repotting or division.

Pet-safe status and trailing leaves

Chlorophytum comosum appears on ASPCA’s non-toxic list for cats and dogs. Fibrous leaves can still trigger vomiting after chewing, so keep long leaves and plantlets away from animals that nibble houseplants.

Botanical name and cultivar note

The accepted species name is Chlorophytum comosum (Thunb.) Jacques, in the family Asparagaceae. The genus name Chlorophytum comes from Greek roots meaning green or yellow-green plant. The species epithet comosum means furnished with a tuft, referring to the tufted rosette of leaves. 'Variegatum' is the pale-edged variegated spider plant cultivar.

Chlorophytum comosum 'Variegatum' forms arching striped leaves and plantlet-producing runners from a tufted rosette.

I was very happy with this purchase. The book came in almost perfect condition with an unused access code inside. There were a few minor bends/blemishes on the outside of the book, but none of them affected the content of the book.

God's Love Rescued Me; Jack's Testimony Freed Me.
Format: Paperback
This book is forever my "go to" book to refer anyone to when it comes to knowing God's love. The few words I have to say here does not even come close to telling of the gratitude I have for Jack and Trisha Frost in the writing of this particular book. As a background, I experience God's loving hand of salvation on March 24th, 1986, when He literally stopped me from committing suicide. Over night my life changed, coming out of the darkness into His glorious light, eyes blinking, working to adjust to the brightness of the Son that had just entered into my once bound for hell life. Over the next twenty-five years I wandered aimlessly around the Kingdom, at times feeling even more lost then I did before entering in. Most of which I must confess came from not being raised in church. So not knowing the lingo, or proper edicts of church, I often fought my way home in tears, crying out to God over the fact that I just did not fit into this new world He had brought me. Over the years battling with the heartache of being what I felt, was a disappointment to the only One I have ever truly been in love with - God the Father. Then in 2011, God spoke to my spirit and said go now. Go? Okay, go where, and do I need to pack anything? I gathered a few things and moved to Houston the very next day. Standing in a bare room, no bed to sleep on, or even a chair to sit in, I asked Him (my go to question), "Where do I go from here, what next?" and as always He gave me sound advice. Go to school... I wasn't sure what He wanted me to study or where, but I found myself enrolling in a ministry school He led me to, and yes, it was at a church. The one place which held so much heartache for me [remember, I had never fit in], but obeying His call which was more important than acceptance. So I went... The very first book the class had us read was "Experiencing the Father's Embrace" by Jack and Trisha Frost. FINALLY, someone I could identify with, and a sea captain at that. When I think of how Jesus connected me with this fisherman's words, at just the right time, just went to show me, He's still willing to bring me into where I can truly belong (to Him). I opened this book and began to read, I found myself captivated by this man's openness and honesty. Then I get half way into the first chapter and I sit frozen, his words penetrate my heart and I know. I allowed Him to rescue me, but all the years since "I had" never allowed myself to get close enough to experience His embrace. I never knew my real father, my mother was murder when I was three, and then I was tossed to and fro from that point on. None of the men in my life ever gave a good example of what a loving "father's" embrace should be. If and when they did embrace me it was not what love could be defined as; and here I am, not only with "father" issues, but now talking about embracing; two words that I had never thought should be used in the same paragraph. Jack shared his testimony concerning a conference in November of 1995, and floored me in my chair over a decade later. He spoke of how God took him back to a moment in his life when he needed that loving embrace and comfort that a father's love should give. Then Jack said these words and my world came to a screeching halt, "I had heard all my Christian life that God loved me, but I had never lowered the walls of protection enough to receive personally a natural demonstration of His love and affection in some of my deepest pain." This man hit my nail right on the head, and it took me a very long time before I could read any further. It was God's love that rescued me, but it was Jack's testimony in this book that helped me find the freedom of knowing the Father's Embrace. I can't wait for the day when I can meet Jack face to face, and give him the kind of hug I so want to give him. Trish and I have become friends, I love her dearly. I can't express the love enough, even now today sitting here writing this, the tears stream with heart felt emotion. So would I recommend this book? Yes, I would HIGHLY recommend it, as well with any book by Jack and Trisha Frost. But this is the one. :) I pray you too will find this same freedom in becoming His sons and daughters.
