Spider plant 'Variegatum'

Keep soil moist especially when in baskets or containers being sure to not let the soil dry out between watering. Each pup produced can be used to start a new plant. Plant pups with visable roots in shaded area in the garden for it’s lovely variegated folliage or plant them in hanging baskets, pots or other containers that allow them to cascade down.

The amount of light will effect leaf color, pup production and standing up or drorping of leaves ie in shade they will tend to droop but in well lighted areas they will stand up more arched.

They ae also sensetive to salt and flouride, catch up some rain water to water them if not exposed to natural rain and be sure to leech them occasionally to avoid build up in the soil..

Plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Variegatum is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Variegatum needs a potting mix, sandy and loamy soil with a ph of 6.1 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Variegatum is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside - as a guideline, the minimum temperature outside should be approximately 21°C / 70°F.
