It is an evergreen plant with graceful stems and narrow, spiral leaves. The leaves are deep green in colour and have a shiny, waxy texture. This plant can reach a height of up to four metres under ideal conditions, but usually stays smaller in domestic circumstances.

Care
In terms of care for the Pleomele 'Anita', it requires a spot with indirect light and is resistant to both dry and humid conditions.
