Chlorophytum amaniense

 

 

I saw this plant for the first time many years ago,and although I thought it looked lovely,I had the
feeling that it probably was a 'one day fly' because it looked fragile.
Big mistake!!By the time I read about it on the internet ( and we were about the last one's to get a
computer, 3 or 4 years ago- we thought it was a lot of modern crap:-)) it was to late,and amaniense
was no-where to get here in the Netherlands.
I just thought about ordering seed from overseas,when I saw an advertisement on Marktplaats,( that
is a kind of E-bay for the Netherlands), someone offered 3 pots with chlorophytum amaniense!!
I  directly mailed to her. She had no idea that these plants were no longer available and she was
pleased that I was such a lover, so a deal was made.

It's a low light plant,don't like intense light levels or sun.
It's also extremely sensitive for insecticides,chemicals and pesticides. The soil should be kept
fairly moist but not overwatered. During hot and dry weather it like's to be sprayed with water.
It like's also to be feed once a month with a liquid fertilizer at half strenght,always on the soil,
never on the leaves.
