Chlorophytum dalzielii

A little-known Chlorophytum of the Nigerian savanna, known in GBIF from a single wild record in the north-east. Like other West African savanna Chlorophytum it most likely sprouts with the rains and dies back to fleshy roots in the long dry season, so a hot, wet summer and a dry winter rest are the safest approach.

Where it grows wild

Almost nothing is published on its habitat. Savanna Chlorophytum in this region grow in grassland and open woodland, often on rocky or lateritic ground, and this profile assumes the same.

The single record lies at about 620 m in north-eastern Nigeria.
