    This is an unusual, lovely indoor plant that will do well in medium-to-low light. It's finger-like leaves are light yellow with irregular dark green sections which contrast beautifully. It stays compact and can be pruned, making a nice addition to table or shelf. It is very easy and does well in combinations, also.
