It forms an upright, cane-like clump and is one of the most reliable indoor plants for the warm, humid conditions found across much of India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTolerant of low to moderate indoor light, it thrives in bright rooms with filtered light and quickly becomes a lush statement plant. It is widely used to green up living rooms, lobbies and office interiors.
