Description: Apart from the splendid pink and dark green leaves, the plant is identified by large waxy leaves. These leaves can grow up to 9 inches long and 5 inches wide. The pinkness on the leaves is due to a lack of chlorophyllÑthe chemical that makes plants' leaves green. However, some greenness on the leaves is also necessary so that the plants can photosynthesize.
