The Rhoeo is a plant of many names. Depending on where you live, it may be called Moses-in-the-Cradle, Moses-in-a-Basket, Boat lily, Tricolor or Oyster Plant. Regardless of what you call it, the Rhoeo is an easy care, fast growing evergreen that can thrive both indoors and outdoors, depending on climate. It is recognized by its colorful striped sword-like leaves featuring white, green and pink colors. Deep purple is featured on the underside of the leaves, and to maintain that color, exposure to medium to bright light is needed. When given enough light, it also produces small white flowers in the center of its rosette of leaves. In terms of care, it thrives in bright indirect light and average home temps and humidity. Water when soil is dry and prune off dead leaves.
