# I added a spider plant to my small spider plant collection. It’s…

_Posted by Sunny on 2024-03-11_

I added a spider plant to my small spider plant collection. It’s called an Irish variety (Chlorophytum Comosum 'Irish')

I’ve convinced myself it’s not just another common reverse variegated variety. The pictures show the common spider plant (Chlorophytum Comosum ‘Reverse Variegatum’) and the Irish variety. The leaves of the Irish appears to grow stiffer and more vertical (like bearded Iris texture) with some stubby older leaves. The common spider plant has a fountain shape as it grows. They have the same leaf markings. So, they look similar from a distance.

I like the look of this variety, the taller more spikey growth. I think it would look awesome in one of those catch pots shaped like a face!

That’s a great idea!
