"very beautiful", and it is!

Chlorophytum
orchidastrum
Green and orange
|
|
Brilliant
festive and seasonal colours on this uncommon house
plant. This plant is related to the spider plant,
Chlorophytum comosum. The word Chlorophytum is from
the Greek chloros meaning green and phuton for plant.
We think that the bright colouration makes it a
fantastic christmas plant to have in the house.
Site:
Any shady spot but do not expose to bright light
or the colour will fade.
Tip: It will try to flower, pinch these out
ASAP. We find it helps to keep the plant looking
good.
