chlorophytumchlorophytum
genusgenusClump-forming plants characterized by their arching, grass-like foliage that often produces long stems bearing tiny plantlets. These resilient plants can display striking variegation patterns in their leaves, creating ribbons of green and white.
Etymology
The name derives from Greek words 'chloros' meaning 'green' and 'phyton' meaning 'plant', literally translating to 'green plant' due to their typically verdant foliage.
Interesting fact!
The plantlets that grow at the end of their stems are perfect genetic copies of the parent plant, allowing them to reproduce without seeds in a process called vegetative propagation.
