Spider Plant Reverse

The Spider Plant With a Twist — Literally

The Spider Plant Reverse (Chlorophytum comosum 'Reverse') flips the classic spider plant color scheme on its head. Where the standard variety features green leaves with a white center stripe, the Reverse sports a creamy white or yellow center with rich green edges — a subtle but striking difference that gives it a brighter, more luminous look. Its leaves grow outward and upward with an arching, fountain-like habit that fills any space with effortless tropical energy.

Like all spider plants, it’s nearly indestructible, pet-safe, and one of the best air-purifying plants available for indoor spaces.

Why You'll Love It

• Reversed variegation — Creamy white or yellow center with green edges; a brighter, more luminous look than the classic variety
• Pet-safe — Non-toxic to cats and dogs; safe for households with curious pets
• Air-purifying — Filters indoor pollutants including formaldehyde and carbon monoxide
• Produces spiderettes — Baby plantlets trail from long arching stems; easy to propagate and share
• Extremely forgiving — Tolerates low light, irregular watering, and a wide range of indoor conditions

Care Guide

• Light: Bright indirect light brings out the best variegation; tolerates low light though color may fade
• Water: Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings; reduce in winter. Sensitive to fluoride — filtered or distilled water helps prevent brown leaf tips.
• Humidity: Adapts well to average household humidity; occasional misting appreciated
• Temperature: 60°F–80°F (15–27°C); keep away from cold drafts and frost
• Soil: Well-draining all-purpose potting mix
• Fertilizer: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer; skip in fall and winter
• Repotting: Every 1–2 years or when roots begin to crowd the pot
