The Spider Plant 'Fire Flash', also known as Chlorophytum orchidastrum, is a rare tropical beauty that turns heads with its vibrant orange petioles and bold green foliage.

How to Care for Your Spider Plant 'Fire Flash'

Place your Fire Flash in a bright indoor location that receives indirect light throughout the day — this helps intensify the orange coloration at the base of the plant. Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix and water when the top layer begins to dry. Consistent moisture is appreciated, but be cautious of overwatering, especially in low-light environments.

This plant adapts well to average household humidity but may benefit from occasional misting or placement near other humidity-loving plants. It rarely produces offsets like the common spider plant, but its vivid color and architectural foliage more than make up for it.

Fertilize during spring and summer with a diluted houseplant fertilizer to encourage healthy growth and maintain vibrancy.
