purpleinopp said:That does sound odd but if they are other species, the comparisons to C. comosum may not be valid anyway. If they have different unknown preferences, that could lead to confusion & disappointment. I've never had any other Chlorophytums to compare, except a NOID variegated one a couple decades ago for what seems like a short time, maybe a couple yrs. The fact that it doesn't survive but the plain one does might be a similar anecdote but I don't remember any more details by now, like whether or not I repotted it.

...and with any rare plant, if it's because it's fussy &/or requires specific conditions, it's going to be a bumpy ride for most. I wouldn't take it personally at all! Easy to grow plants are not rare, because they are easy.

Keep us posted & good vibes!


Sorry, I did not mean "species" I mean "varieties" of this species which is the C.comosum. In the spider world, they use the word "varieties" more than cultivars. Makes me crazy and I am not good at "terms" when i am in a hurry. Some of these were transported from Europe so he says. It is just like they used to call Vitattum (variegated) and the Variegtum (reverse variegated)...I am speaking of the terms we used on eBay and Etsy and places I sold online. Now of course they all got smart and decided to use the new terms. To me a spider is a spider. They are all variegations of the same darn green and white plant and when I look at these I am trying to save I wonder if I should see a shrink.....the only difference is the width and length of some of the leaves. Why am I knocking myself out? Most people could care less and no doubt would not buy them unless they collect spiders and I find very few people who really do. Oh well, I must take some packages of plants to the post office and then go to town for supplies. Thanks for talking to me and I will hopefully TALK TO YOU LATER.WITH GOOD NEWS.
