Bring graceful stripes to a bright shelf with this variegated spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum). Narrow green-and-cream leaves arch outward in a lively fountain shape. As an established plant grows, it may produce long stems with small plantlets.

Size and what ships

One live variegated spider plant in a 4-inch nursery grow pot. Leaf length, fullness, and any existing plantlets vary at shipping. With suitable care the plant may become broader and produce trailing offsets over time; a mature hanging display is not what ships.

Optional decorative planters

Style your plant with the black BASEL 4.7-inch planter or the white BASEL 4.7-inch planter. Decorative planters are sold separately and are not included; the plant ships in its 4-inch nursery grow pot. Furnishings are not included.

Care guide

  • Light: Bright indirect light supports clear striping and steady growth. It can tolerate somewhat lower light, but avoid harsh direct afternoon sun.
  • Water: Water thoroughly when the upper inch of potting mix feels dry, then let excess drain. Reduce frequency in cooler months and avoid letting the pot sit in water.
  • Soil: Use an airy, well-draining indoor potting mix in a pot with drainage. Ready to repot? Shop our Rich Houseplant Soil Blend, hand-blended in small batches and sold separately.
  • Temperature and humidity: Normal warm indoor temperatures and average household humidity generally suit it. Keep away from frost and strong drying vents.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active spring and summer growth, if needed, with a balanced slow-release houseplant fertilizer according to its label directions. Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents, sold separately. Excess fertilizer can contribute to browned tips. Reduce or pause feeding in winter, and skip feeding while growth is paused or during extreme heat or cold.
  • Pruning and grooming: Trim dry leaf tips with clean scissors.
  • Repotting: Repot one size up if roots crowd the pot, using fresh, well-draining mix and a container with drainage holes.
  • Propagation: If the mature plant grows plantlets, they can be rooted in water or potting mix and separated when established.

Pet safety

Spider plants are generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.
