The Spider Plant 'Reverse' (Chlorophytum comosum 'Reverse Variegatum') is a popular and easy-care houseplant known for its long, arching leaves with creamy yellow edges and green centers—an eye-catching twist on the traditional Spider Plant.

How to Care for Your Spider Plant 'Reverse'

Place your Spider Plant in a bright room with indirect sunlight to maintain its vivid contrast and support healthy growth. Use a standard well-draining potting mix and water when the top inch of soil becomes dry. Be cautious of fluoride or heavily treated tap water—use filtered water if leaf tips start to brown.

This plant loves average to high humidity but tolerates most household environments well. Fertilize monthly in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer. As it matures, it will produce arching stolons with baby plantlets that can be left for display or easily propagated.
