perennial from Madagascar.
Flowering colors: Green
Cultivation: Most ornamental species do well at waterÕs edge or in
boggy ground.
Grow in rich compost and water well by standing the pot in a dish of
water.

Repot when the plant fills the container.
If the tips turn brown, the atmosphere may be too dry, while a lack
of new stems may indicate too little light. Propagate from seed or
by division. |
