Hailing from the lush tropics of Indonesia is this unusual aroid–Apoballis acuminatissima 'Opulence'. This rare gem features silky smooth, sword-shaped leaves, adorned with opulent silvery patterning. One of nature's masterpieces! Stems and leaf undersides are a contrasting, regal shade of burgundy, making it clear why this plant is sometimes referred to as "Red Sword". The true luxury of ‘Opulence’, however, lies not just in its artful appearance, but in how easy it is to care for!Adaptable As HouseplantFoliage InterestHarmful To:PetsCharacteristics
