Growth—

Chlorophytum species require a frost free climate, and can succeed from the subtropical zone to the tropics, in moist to humid climates^[1]. 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^{[1, 2]}
