It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun to full shade, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. The upright leaves have a dark green center with a thick grey stripe along each edge. Dark green bands cross the grey stripe.
