Chlorophytum indicum

An Indian Chlorophytum recorded mostly from the Nilgiri hills around 1,700 m, with outlying records in Karnataka and the northern Western Ghats. The upland climate is mild, with cool nights and a long monsoon season, followed by a drier, cooler winter. Grow it as a bright-light, fleshy-rooted perennial with a drier rest after the rains.
