Planto, I completely agree with the last picture looking like Hawaiian. Did you know that the Hawaiian plant also sells under the name of Golden Glow? Only learned that lately.
I have something I want to share with you all, just to make things more confusing for Bonnie. This information is from John Jearrard of the UK. Notice what he says about the curl.
Chlorophytum comosum 'Bonnie' is a recent introduction. It began commercial distribution in Holland in about 1999, and has rapidly spread worldwide. Although very similar to Chlorophytum comosum 'Vittatum' in leaf colour, it is distinct for it's curling twisted leaves. Although this is quite attractive , the major significance is that it makes the plant more compact and so more resistant to damage during transport. As a consequence it is a much more attractive commercial proposition than the taller and more fragile cultivars.
The amount of curl in the leaves is strongly dependant on the growing conditions. If kept moist and well fed, the plant will grow very strongly, but tend to produce more or less straight leaves. To get a good curl, the plant has to be slightly stressed, and allowed to get dry between waterings. During summer it will produce large numbers of flowering stems, which are always characteristically twisted and kinked.
This is basically what I do with my Bonnie's and the only ones that are really curly are those growing in indirect light and are allowed to get dry before watering. I mean really dry too. The one that was giving me trouble in the house has now began to curl again. Not alot but the mature leaves are definitely changing. I put it in an area of indict light, some sun if I open the door but most of the time just indirect light. I only water it when it is stone dry. The babies are always curlier than the mature plants. Here are some of my baby bonnies.
This plant is a real challenge but it is one of the most attractive houseplants on the market just now. I can hardly keep them in stock.
