Chlorophytum chomosum 'Ocean' T8
Chlorophytum comosum 'Ocean', also known as the 'Ocean' spider plant, is a compact and particularly decorative variety of the classic spider plant. With its green-white edged foliage and dense, bushy growth, it brings freshness, structure, and elegance to any plant arrangement – whether in a pot, hanging, or on a shelf.
Features:
This variety is characterized by its shorter, broader leaves, which are cream-white on the outside and rich green in the center. Unlike classic spider plants, the 'Ocean' grows more compactly but also produces typical runners with small offshoots that root easily. A low-maintenance houseplant with a high air-purifying effect.
Care Instructions:
Light: Bright to partially shaded – no direct sunlight, can also tolerate slightly less light.
Water: Water moderately – keep the substrate slightly damp, avoid waterlogging.
Humidity: Normal – tolerates dry heating air, occasional misting is beneficial.
Fertilizer: In spring and summer, fertilize 1-2 times a month with a diluted green plant fertilizer.
Temperature: Ideal at 18-24 °C, can also tolerate slightly cooler temperatures for short periods.
Note: Very robust and long-lasting – ideal for beginners. Also popular in children's rooms and offices. Pet-friendly!
Our greenhouses are equipped with modern energy screens and double glazing to efficiently save on heating costs. Additionally, we collect rainwater over the entire roof area of 9,000 square meters and use only this water to irrigate all our crops. We collect the rainwater in underground tanks with a total volume of 600,000 liters.
Since 2007, we have been heating our entire operation with a fully automated 850 kW wood chip heating system and a 100,000-liter buffer storage tank. Environmentally friendly and CO2-neutral. Only to support during very cold winter days and nights is a conventional oil heating system available.
Since 2014, the heating has been supported by a solar thermal system with an annual yield of about 20 megawatt-hours.
In 2020, we installed a photovoltaic system with 30 kW peak and have been producing more green electricity per year than our entire operation requires.
Since 2021, we use exclusively pots for our self-produced plants that are not only 100% recyclable but are also entirely made from recycled pots. To this end, we collect all used pots that arise in our operation and have them picked up in big bags by our pot supplier Göttinger. There, the pots are cleaned and processed in a water-free recycling facility into new pots that come back to us.
