    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This resilient indoor container plant is found in several color forms and 'Sitara's Gold' brings another unique addition. The coppery-gold leaves have deep burgundy undersides and form rosettes creating a full specimen with ease. It's a real trouper when it comes to holding its own through periods of neglect and poor lighting. For best growth and color give it bright indirect light or a little morning or afternoon sun.
