Chlorophytum comosum 'Ocean'

Chlorophytum comosum 'Ocean' is a compact spider plant cultivar with short, broad green leaves edged in cream. The cultivar forms a dense rosette with a tidy rounded shape, then matures into the familiar spider plant habit with arching flower stems and small plantlets.

The foliage has a clean green centre, pale margins, and a slightly sturdy texture that keeps the plant looking full even while young. Mature plants can send out slender stems carrying tiny white flowers followed by young plantlets. The rosette stays compact, and older stems can hang beyond the pot as the plant matures.

Compact Ocean spider plant traits

  • Compact spider plant cultivar with shorter, broader leaves
  • Green leaf centres with cream margins
  • Dense rosette habit with a neat container shape
  • Can produce white flowers and plantlets on arching stems
  • ASPCA-listed non-toxic species for cats and dogs

Species background and cultivar growth

Chlorophytum comosum belongs to the Asparagaceae family and is native across parts of tropical Africa into southern Africa. In habitat, the species grows as a perennial with rosettes of strap-shaped leaves and fleshy roots that store water through changing moisture conditions.

'Ocean' is a cultivated variegated selection of Chlorophytum comosum. 'Ocean' has a compact rosette, broader leaves and a cream-edged pattern. The plantlets form from flowering stems, so a mature specimen can shift from a tight leafy centre into a softer cascading display over time.

Keeping 'Ocean' compact and leafy

  • Light: Keep in bright filtered light or a bright room position away from harsh midday sun. Strong direct sun can mark the pale margins.
  • Watering: Let the upper part of the substrate dry before watering again. The fleshy roots hold moisture, so the pot should drain freely after each soak.
  • Substrate: Choose a loose mix that holds some moisture while staying airy. Perlite, fine bark, coco fibre, or mineral particles give the thick roots airflow and drainage.
  • Temperature: Keep conditions stable and above 15 °C. Cool wet substrate slows growth and increases root problems.
  • Humidity: Typical indoor humidity is fine. A humidifier can reduce dry-tip stress during heated indoor months.
  • Feeding: Use a light fertiliser dose during active growth. Heavy feeding can increase salt build-up and may reduce plantlet formation.
  • Repotting: Repot when fleshy roots crowd the pot. Move up one size and keep the rosette base level with the substrate surface.
  • Pruning: Remove old flower stems after plantlets are taken or once the stems dry. Trim brown tips cleanly if needed.
  • Propagation: Root plantlets once they have visible root initials, or divide a mature clump during repotting.
  • Outdoor summer placement: Warm sheltered outdoor shade can suit it during summer. Acclimate first and bring indoors before nights cool below 15°C.

Brown tips, soft centres and plantlet issues

  • Brown leaf tips: Often linked to irregular watering, dry air, salt build-up, or minerals in tap water. Flush the substrate and use rainwater, filtered water, or low-mineral water where needed.
  • Soft, collapsing centre: Check for water sitting in the rosette or a cold wet root ball. Improve airflow and let the substrate dry more evenly.
  • Few plantlets: Young plants may need more maturity. Overfeeding can also keep growth focused on leaves.
  • Scorched pale patches: Usually caused by direct sun on tender leaves. Move to filtered light and remove only fully damaged foliage.

Offset and seasonal growth notes

The cream margins on 'Ocean' are part of the cultivar’s stable leaf pattern. New leaves may vary slightly in width and curve as the plant matures, especially after repotting or seasonal growth changes.

Pet-safe status and plantlets

ASPCA records Chlorophytum comosum as non-toxic to cats and dogs. Chewing may still cause mild digestive upset or damage the rosette, so place young plantlets away from pets attracted to stringy leaves.

Spider plant name background

The accepted species name is Chlorophytum comosum (Thunb.) Jacques, in the family Asparagaceae. Chlorophytum is derived from Greek roots meaning green or yellow-green plant. The species epithet comosum means furnished with a tuft, referring to the rosette-like arrangement of the leaves. 'Ocean' is a compact cream-edged spider plant selection.

Chlorophytum comosum 'Ocean' forms a compact green-and-cream rosette that can mature into an offsetting spider plant.

Not the best, but not the worst either
Format: Hardcover
By any means not the funniest book in the series, only the one on Krusty the Clown was more un-funny; but still a worthy addition to your collection and, just like all the others from the series providing a retrospective of anecdotes you might have forgotten.

Not that great
Huge "The Simpsons" fan. I watched all the episodes and read a lot of the comics and enjoy most. This one however was quite boring. Turns out I'm just not a big fan of Chief Wiggum. I really enjoyed The "Homer" and "Bart" book. But not this one. Maybe if you love Wiggum you'll love it. If you're not too fond of him then I wouldn't buy it.

Alan Moore Does it Right, and Bolland Art Revision is Amazing
Format: Hardcover
The Killing Joke was a comic spawned shortly after the work of Frank Miller, and is probably the comic that established The Joker as one of the most important fictional villains of the 20th century. Batman had become a well thought out, complex character in recent years, primarily due to the work of skilled writer Frank Miller. Batman had been brought into a gritty, modern world of comic books, but I always felt that Miller's The Dark Knight Returns failed to bring the antagonistic Joker into a new light...well it did, but not in the way the character was meant to be. Alan Moore, with the help of Brian Bolland's stunning artwork helped bring to life what is widely accepted as today's standard for the famous Harlequin of Hate. He's crazy, he kills people simply for his own twisted sense of humor, but always has a very zany, cartoonish attitude, which I felt was lacking in Miller's interpretation, where Joker seemed much too serious in appearance, dialogue, and action. The Joker presented in this graphic novel truly is a fiendish jester of fate, who for the most part is truly frightening, but never really acts like anything more than a loon. Bolland's art is very helpful in this aspect, not only bringing the Joker's exaggerated, skeletal body to life, but making it perhaps the most anatomically correct Joker ever seen, while still following the style of the 1970s Joker appearances. The story revolves around the long struggle between Batman and his foe, and their never ending conflict. Joker, having escaped from Arkham Asylum (again), has decided to prove that one bad day can transform any sane man into a monster, such as himself. Taking possession of an old carnival he's ready to do whatever it takes to prove his point, with the assistance of a circus freak show. Meanwhile The Dark Knight questions himself on how this fight will end; coming to the realization that sooner or later one of them would kill the other, unless they tried to reason it out. A hopeless plan by our hero, but he has to at least try a single time to reason with his arch-nemesis, just so he can say he tried. While Batman leads the hunt for the psychotic clown, Joker decides to prove his theory, kidnapping Commissioner Gordon, and shooting Barbara Gordon (Batgirl) through the spine (she never walks again). This is one of the most villainous acts in the history of comics; simply because of how pointless the shooting was, considering Barbara wasn't even in the character of Batgirl. She was just a bystander who Joker decided to use as a tool for his plot. Everyone is a puppet, or tool in his mind. He does this act all of this while wearing a stereotypical beach-going tourist's attire, complete with a large camera, the only exception being his wide-brimmed, purple hat, which conceal his eyes. These are the eyes of a madman, and in one of the comic's final pages his eyes are concealed in shadow once again, before they come out and you see him for the hopeless case he truly is. The story sets the stage for the most widely accepted Joker back-story through a series of flashbacks, showing him as a failed comedian with a pregnant wife, and soon winds up assisting criminals, and falling victim to tragedy. The character is shown to have had one bad day and that is how he ended up as the smiling super villain who has plagued Gotham City for decades. Of course this back-story isn't necessarily true, being that it comes from flashbacks spawned from Joker's mind, and as he famously states in his confrontation with Batman "If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!" Gordon's capture and torture leads to a fight between these two iconic characters, where Batman tries to see if it is possible to reason with Joker logically, but the villain doesn't even try to lie about what is obviously in store for them. He can never be reasoned with, and won't stop until he's dead, and Batman refuses to kill him so it's a sick cycle that goes round and round. In the end of The Killing Joke the roller coaster has only been reset and it will only be a matter of time before Joker is back on the streets, killing again with some new, random scheme which will only make sense to him alone, depending on the mood he's in at the time, or which version of his past he remembers. Alan Moore's story is sick, it's disturbing, and doesn't fail to leave the reader in a state of awe. The only problem is that by the end you crave for more! The story practically brings you to the point of begging for a sequel, or expansion which will probably never come. This is a one-shot story, and should remain that way, or else the original's impact may be lost. I don't have a single friend who doesn't think The Killing Joke is one of the most twisted, sick, most perfect stories of the comic medium. It's short, but it delivers a powerful punch! Brian Bolland's art makes this short graphic novel a masterpiece, providing some of the best art ever seen in the characters' long history, only rivaled (in my opinion) by the art of Alex Ross. Joker really is frightening to look at here, because he doesn't look like a real person in most aspects, but Bolland manages to make this character incredibly believable in appearance, without taking any liberties of changing the body type into something more universal. The tall, skeletal body of the 1970s comics is preserved for the most part, except for the narrowing of the chin, which improves the look even further (hence why it's universally used in today's comics). Recently I got the hardcover anniversary edition of The Killing Joke, with the artwork being edited by Brian Bolland, and re-colored by Bolland personally the way he intended it to be seen. I must say that I love the changes to the colors, more so than the cheery, bright colors of the original, which I felt distracted from Bolland's line-art, because the colors were way too traditional comic book, not fitting the intensity of the art. These colors are dark, gritty, and really captures to mood of the story more effectively than the bright colors of the original release. I especially love the flashbacks being in black and white, except for concentrating on objects that reflect the color red, which leads up to him taking on the garb of The Red Hood, before his first confrontation, leading to his ultimate disfigurement and insanity. This is a seriously talented artist and I only wish he was presented with more opportunities to draw these characters. Batman and Joker look their very best in these images, and I'd be hard pressed to find a comic with better consistency of art quality. The Killing Joke is one, if not THE best story in the history of Batman comics, and rightfully earns my rating of 10/10 stars.
