Did you happen to see a Spider Hirts sells called 'Ocean'? I bought one last year..It's variegated, deep white edging, produces shoots and flowers, but flowers grow different than the common C. comosum variegated Spider.

I got this Spider from Ebay..Forgot its species. BTW, took pic when arrived...brown edges and torn leaves came this way.
It's supposed to be 'rare,' so I'm hoping new foliage will grow in w/o brown.

Leaves are short. 4-6" long..seller said leaves won't grow larger.

Susan, please post a pic of your new Spider. Toni

I ordered thru Hirt's website and was taken thru the Amazon site to pay. I also ordered the monstera deliciosa which I was surprised to find is completey different from what I've seen in stores. I'm sure it is the same species because it looks like one I found in California years ago (and lost). At that time I didn't realized what I had until the leaves started splitting. It grows a bit smaller than the huge monsteras seen elsewhere. I also got 2 cast iron plants which I wasn't thrilled with-small.

Susan

Is your Spider getting enough or too much sun? Maybe you should email Hirt's, ask a proper light question. lol.

I've talked to Hirt's Customer Service reps..they're very nice, helpful people.

Did Home Depot sell C. Hawaiian? Never seen one at either HD closest to our house.

Is the Monstera green or variegated?

There are different Monsteras. Some are naturally smaller, probably better when growing indoors.

Aw, Cast Irons..they're small? are they smaller than the ad stated?
CI's are alow-growing. If they're smaller than the ad said, you should ask for a refund or replacements. Hirt's motto is to make the customer happy.

I've got to get to bed..it's almost 3am. lol..Too tired. Have a great night, hugs, Toni

The monstera is solid green.

I'm going to hold on to the cast irons and place them somewhere I don't see them every day. Slow growing plants drive me crazier than I already am. LOL!

Susan

I know I bought C. Hawaiian cuttings from Ebay, early-mid 2000, but don't have any idea which one it could be, lol.
Problem: Although the Spider was called Hawaiian, none have yellow stripes..
Could there be a green Hawaiian Spider?

Ditto on the crazy, lol.
Slow growth is one reason I don't have a Cast Iron. Variegated types are pretty, but I just don't have the patience.

Maybe slow-growth is the reason large Cast Irons are expensive, although Pacific Delights has larger specimens for something like 12.00..or were. I haven't visited their site at least a year.
Cast Iron, sold locally are highly priced. Back in the mid-80's, my dh and I hunted one down. One local nursery had a green, 10" potted CI for 35.00..35 in the 80's was a lot of money. Heck, still is, lol.

Many caudex plants are slow-growers, but they're too interesting to pass up. lol. Also, faster-growing than Aspidistras.

Will you pot CI's together or in different containers?

There is a solid green spider plant but I don't believe it would be considered Hawaiian. Did you know there is an all green Bonnie spider although I have yet to see that one from EA.

My favorite plants are still hoyas and dracaenas are beginning to be one of my faves with all the new varieties on the market.

Susan

As long as they require the same care, potting together is fine.
I want to scream when I see dish gardens containing a Palm, Croton, Pothos and Cactus!!

No, I didn't know green Bonnie existed. It usually goes the oppoiste way..more green than variegated plants.

Too many favorites to name, lol...
Have you ever seen Dracaeana Goldianna?
I bought one a few years ago, but it died. It's one of the prettiest Dracaenas ever.
Even though it died, I kept the pic..

Isn't it a beauty..Would like to try again, but they're impossible finding..bought this one overseas. Toni

I'll send you some baby spiders once my spider grows up and pushes out babies. LOL!!! Susan

I have Ebay dollars so I 'might???' order the Hawaiian, Might. lol. I have a few baby Chlorophtums cuttings, NO ID species, and don't have room for duplicates.

But, thanks again.

About D. 'Goldianna.'...so far, the only places I've seen this Dracaena was in Thaland, China and Malaysia. I WISH they were sold locally, lol.
I'd buy a few, place in different light, humidity, etc.

One interesting Spider I have. An online friend sent a Spider cutting early 2000's.
Babies are variegated, but as they mature, they turn green. So, all new babies are variegated to start, then as they grow, they're green. Ever hear of this type?

No, I haven't heard of the particular spider that is green and turns variegated. Maybe it is a green baby off of a variegated plant but the color doesn't hold true or something. Interesting.

S

The girl who gave me the Spider had no idea what it was either.
I've had it 10+ yrs, Googled Chlorophytum species, but never found one similiar.

When she first sent a cutting, that same summer it grew a side-shoot. Weird, huh?

Thanks for the offer, Susan, Toni
