Chlorophytum amaniense 'Green Orange'
Spider Plant 'Green Orange'
Green-Orange plants are primarily used as indoor house plants, but in the summer they make a great patio plant as long as they are kept in indirect sunlight. Green-Orange displays rich green leaves with bright orange stalks. This vibrant colour stretches up through the vein of the leaves. The roots develop bulbs filled with water that allows the plant to survive drier periods. The simplicity of the name, as well as the contrast of color, is a perfect addition to any room in the house. Its most beneficial characteristic is its ability to serve as an air purifier. Place it in the perfect spot to enjoy its pureness and beauty.

Planting
From Early Spring TO Late Summer
To take baby plants from the mother plant, set a small pot filled with damp potting mix next to the plant. Sink a new plantlet into the soil of the small pot, so that the root buds are barely covered. You may need to use a bent paperclip to hold the plantlet in place. It should root in 2-3 weeks. After that time, sever it from the parent plant.
Propagation
From Early Spring TO Late Summer
The plantlets growing on wiry stems from the mother plant - often called "babies" - are easy to propagate, giving you an ongoing supply of plants. For sure success, choose young, small plantlets for propagating because the larger plantlets are older and will root slowly.
