Details
Dark green, triangular, heart-shaped leaves with wavy edges. The leaves are somewhat folded, and the sides of the leaves turn downward, while the midrib is curved upward. Ventricosa-like leaves that fold up like a boat sail near the tip with a twist near the end.Satiny sheen, small marginal undulations, and dark green color add to the attractiveness of the plant. Very interesting and unique! Recipient of the 2004 AHS Alex J. Summers Distinguished Merit Award.
