Chlorophytum, Angel Hair Spider Plant 'Vittatum'

To me, it seems like people constantly mix up between Chlorophytum comosum 'Vittatum' and 'Variegatum'. The way I understand it, 'Vittatu...Read Morem' has green leaves, each with a white stripe down the middle, whereas 'Variegatum' has the inverse coloring. I could be wrong on this, though.

Anyway, I have a good number of these plants, which all originated from the same parent. They're extremely hardy, fast-growing plants - I originally had them placed in cups of water for several months before actually planting them, and almost none of them died (though they clearly weren't very happy; I should have fertilized them at least a bit). Now that they're in soil, they've really taken off - the largest is at least 10 inches wide. I've placed them in a north-facing window with good indirect sunlight, where they seem to be doing well. Watering is pretty flexible; once a week should be plenty.

I should also add that they're sensitive to chemicals commonly found in tap water, so I advise using filtered water, or at least letting the water stand for 24 hours before using it. Otherwise, you may see burnt leaf tips, which aren't usually fatal to the plant, but are rather unattractive. Alternatively, use a LOT of water when watering, so that any harmful chemicals are flushed out of the soil, and then throw out the water that drains into the dish.

Overall, this is a great, easy plant for beginners, and I highly recommend it.

This plant is basically a reverse coloration of Chlorophytum comosum 'Variegatum'.
'Vittatum' has a green leaf w/ a broad white or...Read More ivory stripe down the central rib.

Very easy to mix up w/ the Chlorophytum comosum 'Variegatum' at first glance.
It has the same requirements and culture.
