Red Sword Plant

Striking, architectural, and bold enough to hold its own in any room — the Red Sword Plant earns its name with long, upright lance-shaped leaves in deep green dramatically flushed with rich red and burgundy undertones that intensify in brighter light. It’s a rare aroid with serious collector appeal, bringing a moody, tropical sophistication to shelves and tabletops that most plants simply can’t touch. One of those plants that looks impossibly good from every angle and only gets better as it matures.

Pro Tip: The red coloration on this plant is most vivid and intense in bright indirect light — too little light and the leaves will revert to a more standard green. Give it a bright spot without direct sun and those deep red tones will stay rich and dramatic all year long.
