Rigid leaves reach about 5 feet in height and all about 1 ¼ inches in diameter. They are easy to culture and well suited to the home environment. The cylindrical nature of the leaf apparently occurs due to a suppression of dorsi-ventral symmetry, which produces a true top and bottom in most leaves. Its a low maintenance plant. It only needs watering once every three weeks and thrives at room temperature and doesn’t mind the sun either.
