Features of the plant In fabulous contrast with a
rosette of broad green foliage is stunning orangey
(coral) hues of the petioles and leaf midribs, that
appear to be glowing centrally beneath, hence the
name ‘Fire Flash’. These colors remain all year round
and ‘Fire Flash’ does great indoors as long as it has
medium-bright indirect light. Only growing up to 12
inches.
Trivia: Fire Flash’ is the distant cousin of the well-
known Chlorophytum Comosum ‘Spider Plant’ and
although you can’t see much of a resemblance from
the surface, they both have a drought tolerant root
structure with swollen water-storing nodules. ‘Fire
Flash’ seems to resist most insects and diseases, but
can be susceptible to browning foliage or spots
caused by fluoridated water.
