Product Details

Product Details

A favorite indoor plant moves outdoors to dress up planters and baskets with fresh, green-and-white striped foliage. Leaves erupt from the center of Spider Plants like a fountain, while miniature versions dangle around the edges as offsets. Excellent for a container or basket in the shade. Winner of an Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society, Chlorophytum comosum 'Vittatum' tolerates a variety of growing conditions but prefers partial shade. Where not hardy, bring indoors at the end of the growing season.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

WHEN WE SHIP

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

OUR GUARANTEE

We guarantee to ship plants that are in prime condition for growing. If your order is damaged or fails to meet your expectations, we will cheerfully replace or refund it.

Latin Name Pronunciation: klor-fie'tum koh-mohs'um

The Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum), native to South Africa and West Africa, is a favorite indoor plant that can be grown outdoors in shade once the weather warms. Its arching, lance-shaped leaves and quick growing habit make it a perfect choice for annual container collections, too. Long, cascading stems produce small white flowers followed by tiny plantlets (young plants) that hang in attractive clusters at the ends of the stems.

Light/Watering: Grow in partial shade in moist, well-drained soil.

Fertilizer/Soil and pH: Use a soil-based potting mix and apply a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly throughout the growing season.

Pests/Diseases: Virtually pest-free but can be prone to leaf tip burn due to underfeeding, dry soil, or too much sun.

Companions: Combine with other shade-loving flowering annuals, such as Begonias.

End-of-Season Care: In all but the mildest winter climates (plants are hardy to Zone 9 [20°F]), bring plants indoors before frost and overwinter in bright, indirect light. Water sparingly in winter. Set back outdoors after the danger of frost has passed in spring.
