About

This popular evergreen is cherished for its lush, arching foliage, which often displays striking variegation. It develops a thick, woody stem over time, topped with rosettes of strap-like leaves.

Where it works in Kilifi

Ideal for shadier spots or under larger trees, this plant thrives in well-drained soil. It makes an excellent specimen plant or adds a tropical feel to patios and indoor settings.

Growing notes

This species has a moderate growth rate and, once established, requires infrequent watering, thriving when the soil is allowed to dry out between applications. Protect from harsh direct sun to prevent leaf scorch, and note it can be mildly toxic to pets.
