Chlorophytum
1 cultivar
Chlorophytum is a genus of evergreen perennial flowering plants native to tropical and subtropical regions. Best known for the classic Spider Plant, this genus features arching, grass-like leaves that frequently display striking white or yellowish variegation. Plants typically form dense, cascading rosettes, making them exceptionally popular for hanging baskets, elevated indoor containers, and shaded patios. Mature specimens send out long, wiry stems that bear small, star-shaped white flowers, eventually developing into miniature plantlets or pups that dangle gracefully beneath the mother plant. Highly valued for their robust adaptability and vigorous growth, Chlorophytum varieties thrive in warm, humid environments as bright, low-maintenance houseplants or frost-free landscape groundcovers.
