Chlorophytum graniticum

A Malagasy Chlorophytum of the warm, seasonally dry west and north, named for rocky outcrop habitats. It grows through the hot rainy summer and faces a dry season of five to six months with almost no rain, so it should be grown hot and bright with a firm dry winter rest.

Where it grows wild

Most records come from western Madagascar around the Bemaraha region, with others in the far north, places of dry deciduous forest and exposed rock. The name and the genus suggest crevices and thin soil on rock outcrops.

Recorded from 125 to 1000 m, median about 324 m.
