Family: Asparagaceae
Cultivation
Chlorophytum species require a frost free climate, and can succeed from the subtropical zone to the tropics, in moist to humid climates. Species in this genus seem to be adapted to a wide range of conditions in cultivation, though they are generally found in soils rich in organic matter and can succeed in full sun or in shade This species is increasingly being cultivated as a medicinal crop in India, especially in the rainy season, when a commercial root harvest can be obtained in 3 - 4 months from planting. The collection of Chlorophytum roots from the wild for medicinal purposes is usually carried out before seed maturity, thus hampering natural regeneration and reducing native populations.

Chlorophytum comosum
Family: Asparagaceae
Cultivation
Chlorophytum species require a frost free climate, and can succeed from the subtropical zone to the tropics, in moist to humid climates. Although this species does not tolerate frost, it can be grown in areas with winter temperatures down to a few degrees below zero, where it will be killed to the ground but will usually quickly revive with the return of warmer temperatures. Plants prefer a mean annual rainfall in the range 700 - 1,500mm, but can tolerate 500 - 3,000mm.
