'Fire Flash' is in the Liliaceae family, more familiar to us as the genus Chlorophytum. Experts are sure this is the correct botanical name. It was collected in Thailand, but is not described in Exotica or Tropica. The shape is similar, but with its wide ovate lenceolate leaves and orange-pink (coral) mid-veins it is larger and much more colorful. The leaves are parallel veined, light, glossy green with a bright coral stem (petiole). The flowers are white in a dense cylindrical panicle down in the foliage. 'Fire Flash' is a very colorful new tropical. 'Fire Flash' does not have any specific pest or disease problems. It is recommended not to use high light and not to feed overhead, top-dress only. Do not apply any chemicals overhead without prior testing. Plants are sensitive to chemical applications.
