Chlorophytum comosum 'Variegatum'
Bright cream borders framing deep emerald center stripes — the inverted variegation classic.
About This Botanical
A striking inverted coloration of the classic indoor favorite, Chlorophytum comosum 'Variegatum' (Reverse Spider Plant) displays vibrant cream-to-white margins framing deep green central bands. Its graceful arching habit makes it an exceptional specimen for shelves, plant stands, and elevated hanging displays.
Celebrated for its resilience and air-purifying qualities, Reverse Spider Plant thrives in bright, indirect light and tolerates standard indoor humidity levels. ASPCA lists Chlorophytum comosum as non-toxic to dogs and cats. PALMA still recommends discouraging pets from chewing houseplants.
