As balbisiana matures, the thin graceful leaves begin to recurve, and if the plant is hung, the tendril leaves will hang well below the base of the plant. The bright red infloresence resembles a dragon's tail and adds a nice pop of color. Try displaying one in a Geometric Tilly Tower for a nice centerpiece
