rich gold stem


                   code of plants: 7-56000-002-0022
                   Native Name:  rich gold stem


                   name of science: chlorophytum amaniense
                   Common Name: fire flash fire glory, mandarin

                   plant, tangerine, sierra, lily of the

                   name of the house: LILIACEAE

                   Nature Vision: shrub

                   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.
