The Cutlass gets its name from its slender, blade-shaped leaves. The stunning silvery variegation on this plant's leaves adds to its beauty as an ornamental houseplant, as does its more unusual leaf-shape. This plant also grows outwards rather than upwards, as its new leaves sprout from the bottom of the stem and add to the density of its foliage, whilst keeping it a manageable height for your sideboard or shelf! Add a Cutlass to your collection for slender, silver and green leaves; keep it happy and it will reward you with more wonderful, bushy foliage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLight\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eLikes medium, indirect light; this plant can cope well in shadier spots.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWater\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAllow the top third of the soil to dry out in between waters; keep in mind it will need slightly less watering in the cooler months.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAverage household humidity is fine; keep an eye out for leaf browning which indicates too dry air.
