About

This resilient plant features stiff, upright, sword-like leaves, often beautifully variegated with shades of green and yellow or cream bands. It is highly valued for its striking architectural form and its reputation as an excellent air purifier.

Where it works in Kilifi

Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates low light conditions and partial shade, making it versatile for various spots in a Kilifi garden or indoors. Ensure well-draining soil to prevent root rot, making it ideal for containers, rock gardens, or as a low, structural border.

Growing notes

A slow to moderate grower, this plant requires minimal water once established, making it incredibly drought-tolerant and easy to care for. The biggest caution is overwatering, which can quickly lead to root rot; allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
