Mandarin plant is relatively new to the houseplant scene. It was brought to North America in the 1990s -- and has steadily been growing in popularity since thanks to its interesting color. You get two different effects from the plant, depending on how you grow it. Look at it from the side and it almost looks like the plant is glowing from the base. Look at it from the top and the effect is more subtle, but just as pleasing.
Because mandarin plant only grows about a foot tall and wide, it’s best displayed on tabletops or wide mantles or window sills. The orange petioles make the plant look superb in a traditional terra-cotta (clay) pot. Or you can have more fun with it by growing your mandarin plant in a contrasting blue or purple pot. Or, highlight the bright color of the stems by growing it in a dark-colored pot.
MANDARIN PLANT GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
Mandarin plant is a relative of good, old-fashioned spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum). Like its cousin, it's delightfully tolerant to a wide range of growing conditions. It tolerates low light, and grows well in medium or bright light. (Try to avoid a spot where it gets a lot of afternoon sun, however. Its lush green leaves are susceptible to sunburn.)
