$12.24
Unit price perEstimated delivery between 10 June and 12 June.
The Chlorophytum Spider Reverse Rooted Starter Plant is a young, established specimen of the popular Spider Plant, known for its striking reverse variegation. Unlike the classic Spider Plant (green leaves with white edges), this variety features green-edged leaves with creamy-white centers, creating a bold contrast. Native to tropical Africa, this Asparagaceae family member is pre-rooted and ready to grow into a lush, cascading plant, producing arching stems with "spiderettes" (baby plants) as it matures.
This low-maintenance starter plant thrives in a variety of light conditions and purifies indoor air, making it ideal for beginners or busy plant owners. Mature plants reach 12-18 inches tall and wide, with stems trailing up to 2-3 feet.
