Chlorophytum comosum (Sweta Musli / Spider Ivy)
Fasciculated Tuberous Roots
Controlled Hydroponic Cultivation
The Organicsio Advantage
At Organicsio, our Chlorophytum comosum stock is propagated via tissue culture to ensure high-density root fasciculation. Unlike standard ornamental variants, our “Bio-Clean” lineage is screened specifically for high-efficiency formaldehyde absorption and root-based steroidal saponin content. We employ heavy-metal-free substrates to ensure the tubers meet pharmaceutical purity standards for extraction.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The root system is rich in bio-active steroidal saponins (approx. 2-5% dry weight), primarily gitogenin and tigogenin glycosides. The foliage exhibits high enzymatic activity (peroxidases) capable of metabolizing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as carbon monoxide and formaldehyde, making it a functional phyto-asset.
Commercial Applications
- Bio-Filtration: Living wall modules for clinical and industrial air purification.
- Ethnomedicine: Extracts used in formulations for antitussive and nutritive tonics.
- Cosmeceuticals: Saponin-rich fractions utilized in natural cleansing agents and surfactants.
