Product description
Chlorophytum Variegatum is an indoor plant with some gorgeous looking foliage that forms in beautiful shades of green and white. Both colours are variously striped throughout each leaf and gives the plant a very neat, clean and distinct look. The Spider Plant, as its more commonly known, is an air-purifying plant. This means the plant can remove harmful pollutants and unwanted toxins from the air surrounding it, benefitting both the atmosphere and the people within it. Situating the plant should be done based on partial shade being present, with some sunlight available also. Finally, when it comes to watering, you should water it up to twice a month in warmer months, reducing it to just once in Winter when temperatures fall.
Please Note: Images are for illustrative purposes only and designed to be a representation of the item(s) being sold. Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.
6cm/12cm/15cm/19cm/23cm nursery pots are the most common size of pot that they are sold in. This measurement is the diameter at the top of the pot.
12cm potted plants are the most popular providing great value for money and an instant impact. Larger plants that come in pots of 20cm+ are great for making a statement in any room and can represent years of growth to get to that level of maturity and size.

Top Tip
Chlorophytum thrives in high humidity, so mist its leaves occasionally or place a small bowl of water nearby to increase moisture in the air. Rotate the pot every few weeks to encourage even growth and maintain its attractive shape. To keep the plant healthy and vibrant, trim any brown or damaged leaves and feed it with a balanced liquid fertiliser during the growing season. This hardy plant will reward you with lush, cascading foliage year-round.
How to Water
Water Chlorophytum regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings to avoid overwatering. During the growing season, water more frequently, but reduce this in winter when growth slows. Use filtered or rainwater whenever possible, as Chlorophytum can be sensitive to chemicals in tap water, which may cause leaf tips to brown.
How to Plant
To plant Chlorophytum, choose a pot with good drainage and fill it with a light, well-draining potting mix, such as one designed for houseplants. Gently remove the plant from its container and position it so the root ball sits level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly to settle the roots. Place the pot in a bright spot with indirect light, as direct sunlight can scorch its leaves.
