But don't worry, they're not as sharp as their namesake and instead of slicing at you will happily sit and climb in your living room. Used to the rainforest, this plant doesn't need direct sun but will love to be in a warm, bright and humid spot, and repay your care with stunning foliage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlace in moderate to bright indirect light.
