This is native to Ceylon, or Sri Lanka, as the name would imply. It grows very well in rocky and sandy areas. With leathery, upright, lancing leaves with shades of white and dark green, as well as green transverse stripes, it may grow up to three feet tall. Its flat root structure gives it the propensity to break out of the pot as it becomes established and matures.

Dos
Although it can withstand low indirect light, it thrives in medium to bright indirect light. Water the soil every two to three weeks, letting it dry out in between. In stronger light, watering should occur more frequently; in lower light, less frequently.
Don'ts
Root rot is often caused by overwatering. Look out for spider mites and mealybugs.
