Instead of trailing babies, it forms an upright rosette of glossy green leaves with striking, fiery orange stems that almost glow in the right light. It brings a vibrant pop of colour without being fussy, making it a brilliant statement for shelves, desks, or anywhere that needs a lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eScientific Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eChlorophytum orchidastrum\u003c\/i\u003e (orchid-like Chlorophytum)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCommon Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eFire Flash, Orange Spider Plant, Green Orange Spider Plant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eNative to tropical regions of Africa, particularly found in countries such as Tanzania and Kenya\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLight\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003ePrefers bright, indirect light to keep those orange stems vibrant.
