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.

Quality sunscreen with a light scent and no griminess!
Style: Kids SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Lotion, Size: 3 Ounce (1 Pack) Mineral Sunscreen
Most sunscreens I have used in the past have a very distinct smell and/or leaves excess oiliness residue, so you can imagine I have my doubts when a manufacturer advertises its product have a clear and lightweight application with hydrating and comfortable feel on application. To my surprise, this product actually delivers on its claims! The consistency of the lotion itself is indeed very lightweight and easily works into the skin without being greasy as normally found with other brands. Despite its light application, I found that it still offers great protection after being exposed to moisture or coming in contact with water. A sunscreen with a relatively high SPF protection in a non-greasy, lightly scented and weighted application along with its accommodative formulary for sensitive skin is quite impressive; and about the only negative I can find is its high price for a 3 oz. tube relative to other brands. Overall, this is a good sunscreen at its list price, and one that I can recommend if you can find it at a discount.

Good for body, reapply often, use something else on face
Style: Kids SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Lotion, Size: 3 Ounce (1 Pack) Mineral Sunscreen
We used this sunscreen at the Oregon coast on a cold but sunny February weekend and it had good sun protection. It’s non greasy and applies easily. No white cast when fully rubbed in and absorbed. My kids were able to use it without any irritations but I could not use it on my face, it irritated my skin immediately and I had to wash it off with facial cleanser and apply a sunscreen meant only for faces. I have sensitive skin and some rosacea, so this one I kept to only using on my arms and chest. One of my kids still got a sunburn on her cheeks after I applied this sunscreen, she had quite pale, sensitive skin, so again I would still recommend using something else on the face.

Clear but scented
Style: Kids SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Lotion, Size: 3 Ounce (1 Pack) Mineral Sunscreen
We go through a lot of sunscreen during summer with little ones, so we’ve tried many brands. This bottle is pretty small, which is both a plus (compact for traveling and putting in your purse) and a minus. I was so pleasantly surprised that this mineral sunscreen doesn’t leave a heavy white cast, as most others do. But, it is fragranced, which is both surprising and disappointing to me for more natural kids’ sunscreen. I do think it is effective, so if you don’t mind having some fragrance, then I would recommend. Our family doesn’t love added fragrances so this isn’t a great fit for us.

Light, not heavy or greasy. Minimal white cast
Style: Kids SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Lotion, Size: 3 Ounce (1 Pack) Mineral Sunscreen, Style: Kids SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Lotion, Size: 3 Ounce (1 Pack) Mineral Sunscreen
This sunscreen lotion is a thin consistency - it spreads and blends easily. Not a lot of tugging on the skin, as with thicker creams. It does not feel heavy or greasy, but it is not as light as a "sheer" sunscreen. This is a good weight for a mineral sunscreen. There is a minimal white cast on my medium toned skin. It's more visible on the darker areas, and less so on the lighter areas. It does seem to fade after a couple hours, so this is acceptable to me for the sun protection. This has a light, sweet coconut scent. Not fake and not overwhelming. Gentle on my kid's skin.

Clear mineral sunscreen!
Style: Kids SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Lotion, Size: 3 Ounce (1 Pack) Mineral Sunscreen
We have a beach trip coming up and needed to get some good sunscreen to use. We have used mineral sunscreen for years ( there is so much nastyness in regular sunscreen) but I have never tried this brand. Mineral sunscreen typically has zinc oxide in it and this one is no different. One thing that I have never liked about mineral sunscreen is that it always leaves you with a white film on your skin. This one is advertised as "drying clear" so I was really curious to try it out! I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it truly does! I'm so excited to not have the nasty while film all over our skin!
