Varigated Star Grass

Variegated Star Grass (also known as Chlorophytum comosum ‘Variegatum’)

Variegated Star Grass is a striking, ornamental houseplant and garden ground cover with lush, long, narrow leaves that have creamy white or yellowish edges, contrasted with deep green centers. It’s a variation of the common Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum), but with a more decorative, variegated appearance.

This plant grows in rosettes and can produce long, arching leaves that add a cascading effect, making it perfect for hanging baskets, containers, or as a ground cover in the garden. It’s particularly admired for its ability to thrive in a variety of environments, from low light to brighter conditions, and is very adaptable in terms of soil type, as long as it is well-drained.

In the warmer months, Variegated Star Grass can produce small white flowers, but it’s mostly grown for its foliage. It’s a low-maintenance plant that can be propagated easily through its offshoots, which look like little baby plants hanging from the main plant.

This versatile plant is also quite drought-tolerant, though it thrives best with moderate watering. Its ability to purify the air makes it an excellent choice for home or office spaces, adding both beauty and health benefits to your indoor environment.
