Also called oyster plant, boat lily, or Moses-in-a-boat, this Mexican native forms rosettes of long, waxy, sword-shaped leaves—green or striped green/purple/white on top, rich purple underneath. Tiny white flowers hide in purple boat-shaped bracts. Treat as a succulent: bright light, dry soil between waterings.
Bright indirect light; water when soil is dry. Average humidity. Easy to propagate from offsets. Toxic to pets and children.
