This plant is a perennial shrub or tree characterized by its long, stiff leaves that grow in a spiral, or screw-like, pattern around the stem, giving it its common name. The leaves are typically a glossy, dark green with spiny edges and are often attractively variegated with white or creamy-white stripes.

The plant prefers bright, indirect light. Direct, strong sunlight can burn the leaves, while insufficient light may cause the distinctive white stripes to fade, making the leaves appear mostly green.
