£28My thick, fleshy cylindrical leaves will make quite a statement; I'm easy to look after and great at purifying the air.

To see me at my best
I'm basically bulletproof, I like bright indirect light, just be careful not to overwater me.
Size guide
| Width | Height | Diameter | |
| Medium: 60cm | 30 | 60 | 17 |
Height is measured from the bottom of the plastic nursery pot (please allow a +/-10% variance). Diameter is the nursery pot diameter, so to get a pot that fits, the pot diameter should be bigger.
How to look after me
-
Light
I prefer bright indirect light, however, I can also cope well in light shade.
-
Water
Water me moderately in summer, allowing the top half of my soil to dry out in-between waterings; water me just sparingly in winter.
-
Food
Feed me once a month in spring and summer.
-
Climate
I am pretty bulletproof and can deal with dry air and draughts.
-
Other
I can be top-heavy so make sure to put me in a heavy pot!
Things to look out for
-
Leaves falling sideways
You may have over/underwatered, or your plant isn't getting enough light. -
Wrinkled leaves
Most likely your plant is underwatered - water moderately for a few days and they should perk-up. -
Yellowing leaves
Usually caused by overwatering, check for root rot.
Health impacts
-
Toxicity
All parts are toxic. -
Air-purification
A superstar at cleaning the air, I remove toxins during the day and release oxygen at night, so perfect for a bedroom.
