Chlorophytum comosum Variegatum has narrow, dark green leaves, about 45cm long, edged with white stripes.

Chlorophytum comosum Variegatum is a more modern and compact variety than Chlorophytum comosum Vittatum.
Water your spider plant with distilled or purified water. Spider plants in particular are sensitive to a fluoride in tap water. Keep a soil moist but not soggy. Gently poke your finger into a soil to see if it is dry.
