Chlorophytum comosum 'Vittatum'
Spider Plant 'Vittatum'
The spider plant has been grown indoors for many years and is one of the most common houseplants. It grows quickly, sports arching leaves and in spring and summer, the trailing stems produce small white flowers followed by tiny plantlets, which can be removed and planted to make new plants.. These grow to form an attractive display, especially in a hanging basket. Removed from the mother plant, they can be used to produce new plants once rooted. 'Vittatum' was the first variegated cultivar of the Spider Plant, and it has a wide central white stripe on the mid-green leaves

Planting
From Early Spring TO Late Summer
To take baby plants from the mother plant, set a small pot filled with damp potting mix next to the plant. Sink a new plantlet into the soil of the small pot, so that the root buds are barely covered. You may need to use a bent paperclip to hold the plantlet in place. It should root in 2-3 weeks. After that time, sever it from the parent plant.
Propagation
From Early Spring TO Late Summer
The plantlets growing on wiry stems from the mother plant - often called "babies" - are easy to propagate, giving you an ongoing supply of plants. For sure success, choose young, small plantlets for propagating because the larger plantlets are older and will root slowly.
