Available for sale is a unique HAWAIIAN Spider Plant, Chlorophytum comosum. This viridescent variety starts a variegated green and white as a youngster, turning almost pure green before reproducing variegated babies. These are a great addition to your indoor or outdoor patio garden. They are lovely in bloom, but are prized for their foliage. They grow well in any type of soil, but prefer moist soil and a generalized fertilizer. This cultivar does much better on my outdoor patio than many other varieties! I believe the "strong shall survive" in my garden, indoors or out. You will appreciate my motto!
