Growing Requirements

Prefers a situation offering the plant protection from any hot sun.

Characteristics

Mid green broadly edged with orange. In the cooler months the new growth is flushed with soft orange. The colour darkens as the leaves mature. The petioles are edged orange. The margins of the rather narrow medium size leaves are slightly to broadly undulated. One of the distinguishing features of this plant is the tight roll (up and inwards) on the very outer edges of many of the leaves. The petioles are rather long and the foliage is held in an arching manner.
