Chlorophytum comosum
The best known houseplant worldwide...for good reason.
There are houseplants that we've all had some experience with, and the Chlorophytum is perhaps the one that the majority of our customers are familar with. It might be remembered from childhood in a grandparent's living room, hanging in a office or sitting in a waiting room...where ever you are from, you'll recognise it.
Chlorophytum is a great option for beginners - it's fast growing so you have time to rectify care before things so south. More experienced growers will relish the chance to grow a full lush plant with lots of pups and then propagate.
