Apoballis Acuminatissima ‘Red Sword’ 6”—A Bold, Textured Beauty

Meet the Apoballis Acuminatissima ‘Red Sword’ 6”, a rare and striking foliage plant with elongated, deep green leaves speckled with silver, and dramatic burgundy-red undersides. With its sword-like shape and unique color contrast, this plant brings a lush, tropical feel to any space while remaining easy to care for.

The Nitty-Gritty (Plant Care):

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light—too much direct sun can fade its deep colors.

• Water: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy—let the top inch dry between waterings.

• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity—mist occasionally or place near a pebble tray.

What It’s Telling You:

• Happy Signs: Vibrant, speckled leaves with deep red undersides and steady growth.

• Needs TLC: Browning edges? Increase humidity. Yellowing leaves? Likely overwatering.

Good News for Pet Parents:

Not pet-safe—keep this beauty away from curious pets.
