A distant cousin to the Chlorophytum comosum Spider Plant with a rather exotic look. A stunning heart of orange stems is surrounded my mid-green leaves and like all spider plants it is easy to grow and care for. Chlorophytum Green Orange stores water in its roots, making it resistant to periods of drought and neglect.

Chlorophytum orchidastrum Green Orange is also known as Chlorophytum amaniense ‘Fire Flash’ and Chlorophytum orchidantheroides. Other common names include Mandarin Plant, Fire Glory and Sierra Leone Lily.

Please note: These plants are usually only available in Spring and early Summer.

How not to kill your Fire Flash Spider Plant (Chlorophytum orchidastrum)

We've created a personalised Grow Guide for your Fire Flash Spider Plant (Chlorophytum orchidastrum). Just follow this easy guide and you & your new leafy mate will be loving life together!

Light: Indirect

Choose a bright position with filtered or indirect light. Protect from harsh direct summer sun. Only use lower light where the individual plant’s care profile says it is tolerated.

Watering: Moderate

Check the compost before watering. Water when the upper layer begins to dry, then let excess water drain away. Adjust to the plant, pot, light and season.

Humidity: High

Keep away from drying radiators. Where this plant benefits from higher humidity, use a humidifier or suitable room conditions with ventilation. Routine misting is not a substitute for lasting humidity.
