Spider wanted

Eunice, MO(Zone 5b)

I am wanting a specific spiderplant. My daughter and I share cuttings and starts from each other's plants. It is a good arrangement because if something goes badly for one of us we just go to the other to get new start. She got a baby spider plant a couple of years ago from a friend. Actually she got one for me also. This summer I had a maniacal squirrel tear up some of my hanging baskets. Apparantly he dragged this plant off. I looked everywhere hoping to find at least a small one on the ground but to no avail. If that is not crazy enough she had the same thing happen to hers. I know I have to keep the spiders away from my cat because it is the only one of my plants that she eats even though she has a pot of grass.
We still have our other spider plants but we each lost this one.
It has green on the outside of the leaves and white in the middle.
We have the ones with white on the outside and green in the middle and solid greens but we lost the ones with white in the middle. Can anyone help me replace these? Please?

I have a large spider plant that has the green outside edge with white in the middle. I currently have enough babies that I can send two--one for you and one for your daughter. I'd be happy to trade some for a few rooted cuttings from your stevia. LMK.

My stevia developed and attitude when I brought it in for the winter. It is all droopy and misbehaving. I have in in quarantine in case it is an insect or disease that I cannot see. I do not thing it wise to send any right now. I do not think it will survive shipping.

I think what you are looking for is "variegatum". I bet you could find it on the trade list.

Thankyou plantgeek. It is good advice. I tried that first and got the same varieties of what I already have. I want a specific color pattern. I do not know if it has it's own name or if it is just a variation of variegatum. As a last resort before it gets too cold to ship plants, I thought that I might try describing what I want. It looks like it is successful. I cannot blame folks for sending me a plant that I already have when I do not specifically describe what I am looking for. I did receive one lovely spider that is different than other that I have and I am very pleased with how much everyone here is trying to help me full fill my dream. There is a great bunch of good folks here at DG.
