This top-performing house plant sports dramatic, arrow-shaped, dark green leaves, and elegant waxy flowers which appear throughout the year. It is best displayed in simple, modern pot, and the blooms, which come in white, red, pink, and a fashionable dark burgundy, are made up of a tear- shaped spathe (leaf-like sheath) and a long spadix (spike of tiny flowers).
