Reverse Variegated Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum) Identification

Your spider plant—darker green center, lighter edges ranging to white, no flowers yet—is the reverse variegated spider plant, likely Chlorophytum comosum 'Variegatum', 'Vittatum', or 'Laxum'.

Key facts:

• All-green spider plants are the species; variegated forms are cultivars.
• Given bright, indirect light, they produce small white flowers on long stolons (runners), followed by plantlets ("babies").
• Seeds from variegated plants usually yield all-green offspring; propagate by rooting plantlets for true clones.
• They belong to the Asparagaceae family (formerly Liliaceae).

Care: Bright indirect light, well-draining soil, water when top inch dries. Tolerates neglect. Brown leaf tips indicate low humidity or fluoride in water—use rain or distilled water.
