Tropical by nature this plant adapts beautifully to average home conditions. In fact, it does so well on its own you don't need to fuss over it at all. The young plants are a tuft of upright leaves and as the plant grows it forms a cane-like stem with dark green, sword-shaped, shiny leaves that cascade downward gently. Because of their upright shape they can be dust-catchers so keep the leaves clean by wiping them with a soft damp cloth.
