Feature
The Fire Flash Spider Plant looks slightly different from other Spider Plants but still offers lovely arching greenery and minimal care needs. The stems and midribs have an orange hue and lead to bright-green leaves that are wide near the center and taper to a point. Also known as Chlorophytum amaniense or Orange Spider Plant, the Fire Flash Spider Plant grows from a central point in a rosette formation. This is a leafy plant that does bloom with proper care, but the flowers are not very showy.
Best Locations For Growing Fire Flash Spider Plant
Select a highly visible spot for the Fire Flash Spider Plant. This is a plant that should be on full display thanks to its unique orange stems and full greenery. Fire Flash Spider Plants are pet safe, so they have flexible placement options. Feature this looker on a shelf or hanging basket in a sunny area.
Fire Flash Spider Plant Sunlight Requirements
The Fire Flash Spider Plant is adaptable in terms of sunlight. Bright indirect light is best. This plant will push out new growth, and the orange highlights will stand out when this plant lives in a sunny location. With that said, the Fire Flash Spider Plant can live in medium sunlight. Avoid direct light, which can be damaging, while low light may cause the foliage to fade in color.
Fire Flash Spider Plant Care
The Fire Flash Spider Plant does not like to be root bound, so repot the plant about every two years. Select a new container a couple of inches bigger, or gently divide the plant and repot in smaller containers. The roots of the Fire Flash Spider Plant are sensitive, so take care when repotting, especially if dividing the plant.
Watering Fire Flash Spider Plant
Let the top inch of soil dry out before watering this plant. Allow excess water to drain, and cut back on watering during the winter if the plant is not actively growing. The Fire Flash Spider Plant is not picky when it comes to humidity. Average humidity is best, and with some occasional misting or a pebble tray, the Fire Flash Spider Plant can live in more arid environments.
Feeding Fire Flash Spider Plant
Regularly feed the Fire Flash Spider Plant to keep the foliage coming and support healthy growth. This beauty is not picky about the fertilizer mix, and it can handle 3-1-2, 2-1-2, or a balanced plant food. Apply fertilizer every couple of weeks during the spring and summer.
