From the Pacific Islands, the showy spikes of small white flowers
in vivid scarlet bracts bloom throughout the year.
The glossy leaves are narrow and lance-shaped.
New plantlets sprout among the flower bracts and take root when the
dying flower stems fall to the ground under the weight of the
growing plantlets.
Cultivation:They appreciate part-shade, a warm, moist atmosphere and
rich soil.
Propagate by division.
