This species has a dense rosette of lanceolate leaves, which are about 400–500 mm long. The bright yellowish green leaves have very noticeable fine red lines on the surface. The margins of the leaves are covered with sharp teeth. The flowers are quite spectacular and large, cylindrical, 20–40 mm long, and their color ranges from pink to deep red.

Sowing instructions: Seeds germinate very well but may damp off if overwatered. Use a mixture of river sand, compost and soil to sow seeds in. Sprinkle the seeds evenly on the surface and cover with a layer of small pebbles. The pebbles help the seedlings to stay upright and prevent damping off. Keep seed tray in a dry warm corner and do not allow to dry out. Transplant the seedlings after one year.
