The front of the leaves is flat, and the back of the leaves is arc-shaped and sharp. Normally, it has a waxy layer on its leaves, but once it thrives, the waxy layer slowly disappears, forming a thin layer of farina. The leaves are green to purple, and the leaves easily turn red. When it thrives, the whole plant turns red.
