Family:  Asparagus (Asparagaceae)

Hardy to Zones 9 to 11, but usually grown indoors in hanging baskets, giving the strap-like leaves a chance to fountain and send out white-flowered stolons and new plantlets.

(Airplane Plant, Saint Bernard’s Lily, Ribbon Plant, Dian-lan)  The plant lends a lively green touch to any sunny room, produces oxygen, and cleanses the air of toxic substances such as formaldehyde.  The plant is harmless to pets.  The roots are employed (TCM): arresting cough, eliminating phlegm, detoxification, promoting blood circulation and helping heal fractures.  Transplant to a larger pot on receipt and hang in a sunny window.  Water frequently.  We have both variegated and mono color (green) plants.  If you have a preference, please let us know when ordering (use the “order comments” field at checkout).
