This plant has a vertical growth pattern, with leaves that can grow anywhere from 12 inches to 3 feet (30 to 90 cm) tall.

-
Watering: It is drought-tolerant and needs infrequent watering. Water only when the soil is completely dry, as overwatering can lead to root rot. During the winter months, reduce watering.
-
Soil: 50:50 ratio of coco peat to garden soil works well. This mixture provides a balance between good moisture retention (from the coco peat) and essential nutrients and structure (from the garden soil)
