6-8 spike leaves adorn tall, thick pubescent stems. Each leaf is light to dark green with silver spotted variegation. Absolutely gives off a “palm tree” vibe. This species is prone to premature leaf browning due to the thin leaf sections. So keep it in moderate to high humidity at all times to avoid this. Once established, it is a prolific grower.
