Chlorophytum pendulum
A little-documented Chlorophytum from the dry bushland and rocky hills of southern Ethiopia and northern Kenya, recorded mostly between 800 and 1,700 m. Like its relatives it is a clumping herb with fleshy, water-storing roots, so it tolerates drought well and rots far more readily than it dries out. Grow it bright and warm, water generously in the two rainy seasons and keep it on the dry side in between.
Where it grows wild
Specific habitat notes for this species are scarce; the recorded sites lie in the Borana and northern Kenyan Acacia–Commiphora bushland, where Chlorophytum species typically grow in rocky or stony ground under scattered shrubs.
Recorded at 810–1,683 m, median about 1,500 m, on the mid-elevation plateaus and hills of the Ethiopia–Kenya border region.
