Chlorophytum comosum ‘Vittatum’ (Variegated Spider Plant)

Adding a bright note year-round, Chlorophytum comosum ‘Vittatum’ (Variegated Spider Plant) is a very ornamental, rhizomatous, evergreen perennial featuring a basal rosette of arching, narrow leaves, up to 18 in. in length (45 cm), adorned with central creamy-white stripes. Small, white, starry flowers are borne in loose panicles above the gracefully cascading foliage. Plantlets are usually formed at the flowering nodes. Native to South Africa, Variegated Spider Plant is primarily grown for its attractive foliage. Very popular in cultivation due to its drought-tolerance and its relatively disease and pest-free nature, it is incredibly easy to grow. This is probably the most cultivated houseplant in the world. It also looks great in hanging baskets or container displays in summer
