Re: [aroid-l] OT: Chlorophytum

From: Betsy Feuerstein <ecuador at midsouth.rr.com> on 2004.04.24 at 15:55:31(11429) Fireflash seems to like bright light but not a lot of sun. It actually does quite well in my greenhouse in fairly low light conditions. The orange color becomes very pronounced. Full sun or a lot of sun is not its thing. Enjoy!
