- Botanical Name: Apoballis acuminatissima 'Lavallaei'
-
Common Name(s): Apoballis Purple Sword, Homalomena Purple Sword
- Description: A beautiful collector's plant with dark green foliage splashed with silver-grey markings and purple-tinged undersides, ribs, and stems.
- Grow it in bright indirect light, but avoid direct sunlight as leaves will burn.
- Water it when the topsoil dries, and maintain the plant highly moist, but not wet.
- Use a common slow-release fertilizer three times a year and a low-strength balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing period to help encourage strong growth.
- Wipe the leaves down monthly to keep them shiny and clean.
- Place it in a spot where it can soak up plenty of sunshine without being exposed to direct sunlight.
- Use a well-draining soil mix to help prevent root rot and other issues that can arise from overwatering.
