Very interesting plant with arrowhead-shaped, dark pointy leaves with marble- to- granite-white veins. A great specimen in a pot alone with warm conditions.

When planting the tops of the rhizomes should be planted above the soil or the leaves will decay at the base of the plant. Needs bright diffused light and no sun.
